Electronics Assembly and Solder Technician II

Rivian•Carson, CA

46d•$33 - $42

About The Position

This role is essential for the assembly of power electronics components used in our electric power conversion products, specifically inverters, onboard chargers, and DC to DC converters. A key aspect of this position is the hands-on assembly, which requires a strong ability to use various hand and power tools safely and effectively. It's also critical to be able to carefully and accurately follow detailed written assembly instructions to ensure the proper construction of these units. Furthermore, you'll be providing crucial support to our Engineering team by assisting in the diagnosis of typical PCBA assembly issues. When such issues arise, you will be responsible for performing rework on the PCBAs according to the specific dispositions provided by the engineers. This combination of assembly skills and technical support is vital for the efficient production and quality assurance of our power electronics products.
