About The Position

We are seeking an Engineering Technician to support engineering activities across the design, build, testing, troubleshooting, failure analysis, maintenance, modification, fabrication, and assembly of prototype electromechanical systems, experimental design circuitry, and specialized test equipment. In this role, you will work from schematics, diagrams, layouts, written instructions, and verbal descriptions to complete technical assignments. You will assist in identifying methods to resolve malfunctions and will use manufacturing, test, development, and diagnostic equipment such as test programs, oscilloscopes, signal generators, environmental chambers, microscopes, x-ray systems, and other specialized test apparatus. This position works on assignments that are semi-routine in nature and requires the ability to recognize when occasional deviation from accepted practice may be needed. The ideal candidate will apply acquired technical skills, company policies, and established procedures to complete assigned tasks, requiring instruction primarily on new assignments. We are requiring onsite presence in Newark, DE.
