About The Position

The Technician III Engineer is a hands-on technician who works independently on complex product development and continuation engineering assignments for MSP, a division of TSI, across its vapor delivery and semiconductor metrology, and pharmaceutical inhaler testing product lines. Partnering closely with design engineers, this role builds, wires, tests, and troubleshoots prototype and production electro-mechanical systems, from precision liquid flow and vaporizer assemblies to automated wafer-handling deposition tools. The ideal candidate has experience across several product developments, a strong working knowledge of one or more of our core technologies, a quick learning curve on new designs, and the initiative to drive work to completion with minimal direction.

Requirements

• Two-year technical certificate or degree in Electronics, Electro-Mechanical, Mechatronics, Automation, or a related field, or equivalent military or industry experience
• 5+ years as an engineering, electro-mechanical, test, or production technician, including support of complex product development, or an equivalent combination of education and experience
• Strong troubleshooting and repair skills using electronic test equipment
• Able to read and work from electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and mechanical drawings

Nice To Haves

• Experience with PLCs (e.g., Beckhoff, Allen-Bradley/Rockwell), motion control, or NFPA 79 / UL 508A panel wiring is a plus
• Experience with semiconductor capital equipment, vacuum or gas/liquid delivery systems, or cleanroom work is a plus
• AAS in Electronics Engineering Technology, Mechatronics, or Automation; IPC soldering or wire-harness certification (e.g., J-STD-001, IPC/WHMA-A-620) a plus

Responsibilities

• Partner with design engineers to develop new products and continuation engineering, contributing ideas on concepts, test methods, and manufacturability.
• Build and modify engineering prototypes, sub-assemblies, test fixtures, and tooling from drawings, schematics, and BOMs.
• Wire and assemble electro-mechanical systems from schematics and wiring diagrams, including control panels, cable harnesses, sensors, motors, actuators, and PCAs, per applicable standards (e.g., NFPA 79); perform precision soldering.
• Assemble, leak test, and debug gas and liquid delivery hardware such as tubing, fittings, valves, heaters, and flow controllers.
• Troubleshoot and repair electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, and control systems to root cause using multimeters, oscilloscopes, and other test equipment.
• Support controls and automation work, including PLC/HMI changes (e.g., Allen-Bradley/Rockwell), motion control, software and firmware uploads, parameter configuration, I/O checkout, and debugging.
• Assist in planning and execute verification, validation, and reliability tests; record and analyze data and recommend changes to the product or test method.
• Create and maintain engineering documentation, including drawing redlines, ECOs, BOMs, material specifications, assembly, test and inspection procedures, and test reports.
• Provide work estimates, track and communicate project status, and help develop schedules and specifications.
• Travel to customer or field sites (typically < 10%) to support installation, FAT/SAT, field testing, and troubleshooting, representing MSP professionally and following customer site safety, cleanroom, security, and confidentiality requirements.
• Work with vendors on engineering and production components and with manufacturing, quality, and service teams; mentor newer technicians and interns.
• Follow safety, ESD, and cleanroom practices and support ISO 9001 quality-system and continuous-improvement activities.
• Complete other assignments and special projects as requested.

Benefits

• Competitive market salary from $80,000 - $87,000 per year depending on qualifications and experience.
• Additional bonus opportunities may be available and awarded at the discretion of the Company.
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• 401(k) with company match.
• Paid time off, paid holidays, and paid floating holidays.
• Life insurance, employee assistance program (EAP), and professional development opportunities.
• Dress for your day policy.
• Complimentary coffee, tea and hot chocolate.
