Electrical Technician

Vertical Laboratories • Glendale, CA

8d • Onsite

About The Position

Build and maintain the machines that test aerospace and subsea hardware. Much of the equipment we use to test aerospace and subsea hardware doesn't exist off the shelf; we build it. At Vertical Laboratories, you'll wire the electrical panels that run our custom test machinery, prepare connectors for qualification testing, and keep every system in the lab running. If you like building things from schematics, solving problems with a meter in your hand, and being the person everyone counts on when a machine goes down, this role is for you.

Requirements

• 4+ years of hands-on electrical experience in panel building, industrial maintenance, or electromechanical systems.
• Ability to read and work from electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and drawings.
• Proficiency with multimeters, megohmmeters, and standard electrical test equipment.
• Strong soldering, crimping, and wire termination skills.
• High school diploma or GED.
• Applicants must be U.S. persons (U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, or protected individuals as defined under 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3)).

Nice To Haves

• Technical or trade school training preferred.
• Military electrical training is a huge plus, especially U.S. Air Force electrical training.
• PLC, relay logic, or motor control experience is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Build, wire, and test electrical control panels for custom test machinery from schematics and drawings.
• Prepare electrical connectors and cable assemblies for testing, including wiring, crimping, soldering, and termination.
• Perform preventive and corrective maintenance on lab equipment, including environmental chambers, vibration and shock systems, pressure systems, tensile testers, and electrical test equipment.
• Troubleshoot electrical and electromechanical failures and restore equipment to service quickly.
• Work with engineers to integrate controls, sensors, and instrumentation into new test setups.
• Keep maintenance and repair records current under our ISO/IEC 17025 quality system.
• Keep the shop and electrical work areas organized and safe.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• 401(k) with 4% company match.
• Paid holidays, vacation, and sick time.
• Employee bonus program.
• Ongoing training and continuing education.
