About The Position

The Electronics Technician IV supports an engineering team specializing in electronic hardware development, circuit board testing, and product validation. The role contributes to the development, troubleshooting, and reliability of electronic systems through hands-on laboratory testing, precision rework, and technical problem-solving. The technician assembles, diagnoses, repairs, and validates electronic circuits, PCBs, and associated hardware; performs surface-mount soldering and fine-pitch rework; and carries out electrical, functional, thermal, environmental, and EMI/EMC testing. The position also involves building prototypes and test fixtures, configuring laboratory setups, documenting results, and collaborating with engineers on root-cause investigations and hardware improvements. This is a W2 contract role based in Fridley, Minnesota, performed 100% onsite. The schedule is Monday through Friday during standard business hours, 40 hours per week. The contract runs from January 4, 2027, through June 30, 2027.

Requirements

Associate degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Technology, or a closely related engineering discipline.
