About the

Role:

Are you a highly skilled hardware technician tired of chaotic, high-volume production lines and erratic manufacturing schedules? We are seeking a Senior EE Technician to join our engineering R&D lab in Fremont. This is a premium; hands-on role designed for a true technical expert. You will work directly alongside design engineers in a clean, highly organized, and collaborative environment. Instead of running repetitive assembly line tests or swapping whole modules, you will be trusted to perform independent, component-level failure diagnostics and precision micro-soldering on complex, multi-layer circuit boards.

What You'll Do:

Advanced PCB Troubleshooting:

Independently diagnose and isolate faults, short circuits, and power rail failures on complex multi-layer PCBs down to the component level.

Precision Micro-Rework:

Perform high-quality manual soldering, de-soldering, and surface-mount technology (SMT) rework under a microscope—including ultra-fine-pitch components (0402, 0201, QFNs, and BGAs).

Lab Instrument Proficiency:

Expertly operate digital oscilloscopes, multimeters, hot-air rework stations, adjustable DC power supplies, and function generators.

Schematic Reading:

Read and interpret electronic schematics, circuit layouts, wiring diagrams, and engineering blueprints to trace faults and build initial prototype hardware.

Documentation:

Keep detailed logs of hardware modifications, failure analysis results, and lab inventory.

What We Are Looking For:

Experience:

3+ years of hands-on experience in electronics troubleshooting, hardware validation, or advanced failure analysis. Experience in a fast-paced server hardware or computing infrastructure environment (such as Supermicro, Quanta, Sanmina, Wiwynn, or ZT Systems) is highly valued.

Technical Mastery:

Proven capability to find a short circuit on a dead board using a multimeter and schematic, rather than relying on automated pass/fail testing scripts.

Precision Skills:

Exceptional manual dexterity with fine-pitch soldering irons and hot-air tools. Familiarity with IPC-A-610 or

J-STD-001

standards is a major plus.

Autonomy:

A self-starter who can manage a lab workbench independently and safely manage power tools and mechanical assembly. Why Join Us? Stable, predictable day-shift hours A structured R&D lab with modern engineering tools A team that values technical expertise and works closely with design engineers Educational Backgrounds / Experience Required Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Electronics Engineering Technology, Electrical Engineering, or a related field preferred. Equivalent hands-on experience (troubleshooting, soldering, and running test scripts) will be considered instead of a degree. We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at all levels of the organization.
