Electrical Technician – Power Systems

SCEYE INC • Moriarty, NM

3d • Onsite

About The Position

We are seeking an experienced Electrical Technician to lead the production, quality verification, and circuit analysis of Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) for our high-altitude platforms. This role focuses primarily on utilizing software like Altium and Eagle to verify PCB layouts, assemble boards, and validate designs to prevent potential issues such as arcing or short circuits. Additionally, because new PCB fabrication or verification is not a constant daily task, you will also support the Power Systems team by assembling battery sub-assemblies and solar modules as secondary responsibilities.

Requirements

• Proficiency in using PCB software such as Altium and Eagle (Required).
• Hands-on experience in PCB assembly, soldering, manufacturing, and quality inspection.
• Strong understanding of electrical clearances and the prevention of manufacturing defects.
• Basic understanding of electrical systems, including AC/DC wiring and basic electronics.
• High school diploma or equivalent.
• Ability to read and apply engineering drawings and schematics in a practical setting.
• Ability to lift up to 35 lbs unassisted.

Nice To Haves

• The ability to independently design PCBs, going beyond simple viewing and assembly.
• A strong mechanical aptitude with general hands-on DIY experience.
• Experience working with high-voltage DC systems or in an aerospace/R&D environment.

Responsibilities

• Assemble and configure PCB boards based on provided designs, and inspect incoming manufactured boards for quality assurance.
• Utilize PCB viewer and design software (e.g., Altium, Eagle) to analyze schematics and Gerber files.
• Thoroughly review creepage clearances, trace spacing, and thermal resistance before and after board assembly to proactively mitigate potential quality issues such as arc potential.
• Identify layout issues or insufficient clearances during the assembly/verification process and provide actionable feedback to the engineering team for design modifications.
• Prepare battery cells and assist in assembling foundational components, such as stacking 6-cell (6P) battery modules.
• Perform basic soldering and safely route basic AC/DC wiring for various components.
• Assist in the hardware assembly and basic power testing of solar modules.
• Use standard hand tools and power tools to assemble hardware while maintaining a clean, organized and safe workspace.

Benefits

• Chef-Prepared Lunches
• Snacks & Refreshments
• Wellness Perks
• Dog-Friendly Environment
• Medical, dental, vision, and disability insurance, with over 82% of premiums covered—and 100% for everything else.
