About The Position

IntelliServ develops high-reliability downhole technology - including Wired Drill Pipe systems that enable high-speed data transmission from downhole to the surface. We're building and expanding our R&D capability in Provo, and we're looking for a hands-on technician who enjoys building, testing, troubleshooting, and documenting electronics used in demanding real-word environments. Role Summary This position is split approximately 50/50 between: R&D Lab Technician support (prototype builds, rapid iteration, new test setup/execution), and Sustaining support (repeatable builds/tests, troubleshooting, documentation, continuous improvement of existing hardware and processes). You'll work closely with Electrical Engineers and cross-functional partners to keep prototypes moving quickly while also improving stability and repeatability for released products.

Requirements

5+ years hands-on electronics technician experience (engineering lab, R&D, sustaining, or equivalent)
Strong soldering and rework skills with attention to workmanship
Solid electronics fundamentals (comfortable explaining basic component behavior - diodes, resistors, capacitors, etc.)
Proficient with oscilloscopes and DMMs
Ability to read schematics, follow wiring diagrams, and build to documented procedures
Strong documentation skills (test notes, procedures, and reports)

Nice To Haves

Experience with Altium Designer (we can train), including creating/maintaining library components/footprints
Experience building or maintaining test fixtures (wiring, connectors, basic mechanical assembly)
Ability to troubleshoot complex issues, execute repeatable tests, and manage controlled engineering documentation
Comfort working in a fast-paced environment where priorities shift between prototype speed and sustaining discipline

Responsibilities

Assemble and rework electronic prototypes (through-hole and SMT support as needed)
Build prototype cables/harnesses, fixtures, and simple tools to support engineering development
Set up test equipment, execute test plans, capture data, and summarize results
Troubleshoot electronics and help isolate root cause issues with engineers
Execute sustaining tests and verification activities for existing products
Support failure investigation and corrective actions (re-test, reproduce issues, document findings)
Create, follow, and improve work instructions, build travelers, checklists, and test procedures
Produce clear test reports and documentation that others can reproduce and follow
Perform high-quality soldering and rework/repair
Use standard lab tools DMMs, oscilloscopes, power supplies, and signal sources
Maintain lab test equipment readiness and organization (check-out/check-in tracking, labeling, calibration-status coordination, and basic upkeep)
Maintain good lab practices (ESB handling, organization, build quality, traceability)
