À propos de ce poste Electromechanical Prototype Technician chez Atomic Machines
About The Role:
As an Electromechanical Prototype Technician, you will be responsible for executing complex build procedures across a diverse range of R&D and engineering-driven projects. This role demands proficiency in interpreting detailed CAD models, electrical schematics, and mechanical drawings to fabricate, assemble, and validate prototype systems. You’ll be expected to apply advanced knowledge of electrical wiring, soldering, and harness fabrication, alongside mechanical assembly techniques including pneumatic plumbing and additive manufacturing.
Success in this position requires a strong grasp of electromechanical integration, including troubleshooting multi-domain systems involving sensors, actuators, and embedded controllers. You will collaborate closely with design engineers to iterate on prototypes, provide feedback for design improvements, and ensure builds meet functional and safety specifications. Prior hands-on experience in a development or prototyping environment is essential, particularly in fast-paced settings where adaptability and precision are critical.
What You’ll Do:
- Assemble, rework, troubleshoot, maintain, and test new machine designs used in complex automated manufacturing processes.
- Perform surface-mount and through-hole PCB soldering, wire harness fabrication, system integration, and electrical troubleshooting.
- Collaborate with engineering teams to develop electromechanical assembly documentation and detailed work instructions.
- Operate manual mills, manual lathes, laser cutters, 3D printers, and various power and hand tools to fabricate and assemble prototype fixtures and assemblies.
- Work cross-functionally to meet project deadlines and support company objectives.
- Maintain an organized workspace and assist in inventory management and procurement of consumables.
What You’ll Need:
- 6+ years of industry experience.
- Hands-on expertise in both mechanical and electrical systems, including small precision work and large-scale assemblies.
- Proven experience debugging complex electromechanical systems.
- Basic metrology or inspection skills (e.g., using calipers, micrometers, multimeters, etc.).
- Ability to read and interpret CAD drawings.
- Proficiency in reading schematics for troubleshooting and assembly.
- Wire harness assembly and PCB soldering experience.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
- Strong attention to detail and organizational abilities.
- Effective time management and prioritization skills.
- Eagerness to learn and take on increasing responsibilities over time.
- Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline, or equivalent industry experience.
Bonus Points For:
- Experience with CAD design.
- Familiarity with 3D printing technologies.
- Software literacy (e.g., Python scripting).
- IPC certifications (J-STD-001, IPC-A-620).
