Sr. Electronics Technician II Rivian - 2.7 Carson, CA Job Details Full-time 20 hours ago Qualifications IPC 610 Mechanical fabrication Cable assembly Wiring harnesses Safety procedures for high-voltage work Wire harness assembly Full Job Description We are seeking a highly skilled Electronics Rework & Prototype Assembly Specialist to execute first-time prototype builds and perform rework on complex PCBAs, wire harness integration, and product assembly in challenging environments. In this role, you will bridge the gap between engineering and production by performing precision electro-mechanical assemblies, assisting in troubleshooting circuit failures, and verifying assembly quality against IPC standards. You will also provide critical manufacturing support during new product development, contributing to process documentation, tooling, and functional verification testing.

First-Time Prototype Build & PCBA Rework:

Construct initial electro-mechanical prototype assemblies and execute precise PCBA rework, including advanced hand-soldering, component replacement, trace cutting, jumper wire installation, and conformal coating application or removal per engineering dispositions

Assembly & Quality Inspection :

Perform detailed visual inspections of PCBAs, solder joints, and mechanical alignments to ensure compliance with IPC-A-610 and IPC Class 3 standards; interpret Bills of Materials (BOMs) to identify missing hardware or components

Harness Build & Integration:

Build, rework, and integrate complex electrical wire harnesses in strict accordance with

IPC/WHMA-A-620C

guidelines

Testing & Circuit Troubleshooting :

Assist engineers in diagnosing and troubleshooting circuit failures using electrical schematics and assembly prints; execute functional and quality verification tests on PCBAs and completed prototype units

Precision Mechanical Measurement:

Utilize mechanical measuring equipment (calipers, height gauges) to verify build dimensions, spatial alignments, strict tolerance requirements, knowledge of GD&T is a plus

NPI & Process Development:

Support engineering during New Product Introduction (NPI) and design transitions by assisting with fabrication, custom assembly tooling, and drafting Work Instructions (SOPs) and build routers

Documentation & Equipment Maintenance:

Accurately log assembly results, design deviations, and rework details on build route sheets; perform routine maintenance on lab and assembly equipment per manufacturer procedures. College degree in Electronics combined with 2 years of recent, hands-on relevant experience OR 5+ years of hands-on relevant experience Active

J-STD-001 IPC

Class 3 Solder Certification for Electronic Assembly Basic working knowledge of

IPC-A-610

(PCBA Acceptance) and

IPC/WHMA-A-620C

(Wire Harness Assembly) standards Strong foundational knowledge of Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protocols and both low- and high-voltage safety procedures Demonstrated proficiency with standard shop fabrication, assembly, and hand/power tools Proficiency in interpreting complex mechanical drawings and electrical schematics preferred Experience utilizing documentation and task management tools (Google Workspace, JIRA) preferred Strong verbal and written communication skills with a collaborative mindset across cross-functional teams and external stakeholders preferred
