About The Position

Intermountain Electronics is seeking an Electrical Test Technician 1 for its Helper, Utah facility. Reporting to the PDU Production Manager, the technician executes testing and commissioning procedures on integrated power products manufactured by the company. The role verifies assemblies against schematics, specifications, and approved settings; controls equipment energization in the test bay; diagnoses and corrects electrical failures within the technician’s scope; and documents results to company and customer acceptance criteria. Complex and first-of-kind test sequences are performed under the direction of a Technician 2 or above. The technician performs factory acceptance testing and inspection procedures, verifies electrical and control systems, operates load banks, and supports OEM and subcontractor commissioning activities. The role includes strict control of energized work, lockout/tagout, PPE, test-bay boundaries, and safety briefings. The technician also supports customer witness testing, coordinates access and test readiness with internal teams and outside parties, maintains complete test records, and provides hands-on direction to Electrical Test Assistants. The schedule is Monday through Friday, 6:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with every other Friday off. Employees must be able to work a 40-hour work week and additional time as required. Employment is conditional on successful completion of a background check and drug screen, subject to applicable laws and regulations.

Requirements

Currently registered electrical apprentice, fourth year or higher, or licensed Journeyman electrician.
No prior electrical test or commissioning experience is required.
Ability to read, interpret, and apply electrical schematics, drawings, and specification charts to project setup and final products.
Ability to read and understand production reports related to quality and quantity, write nonconformance reports, and comply with safety rules.
Ability to communicate effectively with coworkers, supervisors, customers, and staff.
Ability to perform electrical calculations involving ohms, resistance, voltage, and fusing capacity; follow schematics and electrical drawings accurately and wire-match accordingly.
Ability to apply fractions, percentages, ratios, and proportions to practical situations and understand company and production costs, including overrun costs.
Ability to analyze project plans and specifications, resolve practical problems, and interpret written, oral, diagrammatic, or scheduled instructions.
Ability to use a computer to log time and job hours.
NFPA 70E Certificate.
For individuals in Colorado or Utah pursuing a Journeyman license through a state authority, maintain a valid apprentice license to receive signed hours toward that requirement.
Valid OSHA forklift and Overhead Crane certification, or ability to obtain them.
Ability to work a 40-hour work week and additional time as required.

Responsibilities

Execute assigned factory acceptance test (FAT) and inspection and test plan (ITP) procedures on company-manufactured equipment.
Perform pre-energization verification, including insulation resistance, dielectric withstand, contact and winding resistance, continuity, and point-to-point wire-match checks against electrical schematics.
Verify CT and PT ratio and polarity, phase rotation, phasing, and grounding and bonding continuity.
Test protective devices and control circuits, confirm applied settings against approved settings sheets, and perform relay secondary injection under the direction of a Technician 2 or above.
Control the energizing and de-energizing of equipment in the test bay and apply test power for OEM and subcontractor commissioning after verifying source voltage, phase rotation, and capacity.
Operate load banks according to assigned test sequences and load steps; monitor and record results and direct Electrical Test Assistants in cable handling and connection.
Execute transfer and failure-mode testing and record transfer times and system response.
Verify PLC and control-system I/O, indication, alarms, metering accuracy, and remote-monitoring points.
Perform lockout/tagout for multi-source assemblies under company energy-control procedures and an established group LOTO plan.
Verify absence of voltage, discharge stored energy, apply protective grounds, select appropriate PPE, and maintain test-bay boundaries, barricades, signage, and controlled access.
Participate in safety briefings and lead briefings for routine tests within own scope; enforce safety requirements for customers, commissioning agents, and OEM personnel in the test bay.
Exercise stop-work authority when unsafe conditions develop; maintain a clean, controlled test area and report near misses, incidents, and equipment damage.
Assist in diagnosing test failures across power, control, and instrumentation circuits; distinguish likely failure causes and route issues to the appropriate owner.
Make testing decisions that prevent equipment damage or injury, including aborting a test sequence when needed; refer marginal or disputed results to a Technician 2 or above.
Perform corrective repairs, re-terminations, and settings changes within own scope, then retest and document the correction.
Use power quality analyzers, oscilloscopes, thermal imaging, and data logging equipment to characterize electrical conditions.
Identify drawing errors, field changes, and as-built deviations and submit redlines through proper channels.
Escalate work outside own qualification or authority; do not modify PLC programming or perform OEM proprietary test procedures.
Support customer and engineer witness testing and answer technical questions within scope.
Apply and control power for OEM commissioning of vendor-supplied UPS and switchgear while OEM personnel conduct their procedures; maintain familiarity with procedures to identify potentially damaging or unsafe conditions.
Host and escort third-party commissioning agents and OEM field service personnel, coordinate test-bay access and resources, and report scope changes or out-of-scope requests to the Lead Electrical Test Technician or Electrical Test Supervisor.
Witness and record third-party test results affecting company scope and ensure documentation is turned over before shipment.
Complete test forms, data sheets, and checklists accurately at the time of testing; record commissioning status in CxAlloy and write nonconformance reports for failed or out-of-tolerance conditions.
Verify assemblies against job travelers, bills of materials, approved submittals, and torque sheets before energization; restore equipment to shipping configuration after testing.
Assemble and turn over complete test packages, close punch-list items within own scope, and confirm test instruments are within calibration and record instrument identification and calibration dates.
Log time and job hours to the correct job, phase, and cost code, and flag conditions affecting test hours or the ship schedule.
Coordinate daily with assembly, quality, engineering, and project management on test readiness and provide hands-on direction to Electrical Test Assistants, verifying their work before results are recorded.
Maintain regular and punctual attendance, follow company core values and safety program, and maintain a safe, clean work area while complying with OSHA arc-flash safety requirements and wearing appropriate PPE.
