• Install, integrate, and wire electrical and process sensors, including encoders, limit switches, thermocouples, and flow, pressure, level, and bubble/air detection sensors for motion and biosystem applications.

• Perform hand soldering, circuit board and component-level assembly, and electrical rework; verify wiring integrity through continuity testing and point-to-point checks.

System Test, Integration & Bring-Up

• Perform initial system power-up and bring-up activities, verifying input/output (I/O) functionality, motion control operations (including homing, travel, and basic accuracy and repeatability checks), and subsystem functionality.

• Conduct leak, flow, pump operation, and sensor calibration testing on fluidic and bioreactor systems.

• Execute system acceptance testing in accordance with established procedures and performance criteria, accurately documenting test results and completing required acceptance test records.

• Diagnose and troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, and system integration issues to the component level, collaborating with engineering personnel to identify and implement corrective solutions.

Production & Prototype Build

• Assemble production systems and equipment in accordance with released engineering drawings, bills of materials (BOMs), and established work instructions, maintaining required component traceability and serial-number documentation.

• Support developmental prototype builds using preliminary and redlined engineering drawings, collaborating with engineering personnel to accommodate design changes and accurately document as-built configurations.

• Fabricate, modify, and adapt custom components and prototype assemblies to support design development, functional testing, and system integration.

Documentation, Quality & Traceability

• Complete production travelers, assembly and wiring records, and test documentation accurately and in real time throughout the build process.

• Follow established standard operating procedures (SOPs) and work instructions, supporting revisions and improvements as production processes and prototype designs evolve.

• Maintain component, lot, and serial-number traceability; document nonconformances and promptly escalate out-of-specification conditions.

• Maintain clean, organized, and safe production and laboratory work areas, ensuring tools, equipment, and measuring instruments are properly maintained and calibrated, as applicable.

Scope and Accountability

• Responsible for completing assigned assembly, integration, and testing activities in accordance with engineering specifications, production requirements, and applicable quality standards.

• Exercises independent judgment in routine assembly and troubleshooting activities while escalating design discrepancies, nonconformances, and technical issues requiring engineering review.

• Accountable for maintaining accurate and complete build, wiring, and test documentation, including required component and serial-number traceability.

• Collaborates with engineering, manufacturing, and quality personnel to support production schedules, prototype development, and process improvement initiatives.

• Performs assigned duties within established technical procedures, safety requirements, and authorized responsibilities.

Skills/Qualifications

• Associate degree in Engineering Technology, Mechatronics, Electronics, Manufacturing Technology, or a related technical field; or equivalent hands-on experience in electromechanical assembly.

• Demonstrated mechanical and electrical assembly skills, including the ability to interpret and work from mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, and wiring diagrams.

• Proficiency in hand soldering, crimping, and wiring harness assembly, with experience using hand tools, power tools, and basic shop equipment.

• Ability to use digital multimeters (DMMs) and perform continuity and point-to-point testing, with a systematic approach to electrical troubleshooting.

• Strong attention to detail and ability to maintain accurate documentation, cleanliness standards, and component traceability.

• Ability to work across diverse electromechanical systems and adapt to both structured production processes and evolving prototype development requirements.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience assembling and testing complex electromechanical systems, including capital equipment, automation systems, precision motion platforms, instrumentation, or medical devices.

• Experience assembling and wiring electrical control cabinets and panels in accordance with applicable UL or comparable industry standards.

• IPC certification in soldering or cable and wire harness assembly, such as J-STD-001 or IPC/WHMA-A-620, or willingness to obtain certification.

• Experience assembling fluidic, pneumatic, bioreactor, or related biosystem components, including familiarity with aseptic techniques or cleanliness-controlled assembly practices.

• Familiarity with quality management systems and controlled manufacturing processes, including medical-device quality requirements under 21 CFR Part 820, AS9100, or ISO 9001.

• Ability to interpret CAD models and technical drawings using SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or comparable software, with a basic understanding of metrology and precision measurement techniques.

Export Control Requirements

• This position may involve access to technology, technical data, or equipment subject to U.S. export-control regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and Export Administration Regulations (EAR). Employment eligibility and access to controlled information will be evaluated in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and authorization requirements.
