A global manufacturer and technology leader in color measurement solutions is seeking a Manufacturing Engineering Technician to join its onsite Manufacturing Engineering team. This role is highly technical and engineering-focused, supporting manufacturing quality, incoming inspection, and complex electromechanical troubleshooting. The ideal candidate has strong electronics expertise at the component and PCB level and is comfortable working deep into circuit analysis rather than high-level assembly or installation.
Key Responsibilities
Perform mechanical, optical, and electrical inspection, testing, and troubleshooting on incoming instruments, parts, and components
Inspect and evaluate electro-mechanical components and assemblies using defined test procedures and electronic test equipment
Troubleshoot complex systemic failures and design issues at the PCB and component level using root cause analysis
Rework and repair non-conforming materials, including precision soldering and PCB rework
Build and set up test fixtures and test equipment; download software and execute reliability and performance testing
Verify accuracy and integrity of test data and results
Interpret CAD drawings, wiring diagrams, schematics, and engineering documentation
Investigate vendor-related issues and provide technical feedback to improve quality and performance
Support new product introductions and interdepartmental transitions to production
Recommend design, process, or test improvements based on gap analysis
Support Manufacturing Technicians with testing, calibration, and troubleshooting activities
Train and mentor associates as needed
Document test data, serial numbers, ECNs, SOP adherence, rework, and process efficiencies
Support Quality Assurance initiatives, continuous improvement projects, and compliance with quality standards
Maintain organized, clean, and safe work areas and follow job safety requirements
What the Hiring Team Is Specifically Looking For
Advanced electronics knowledge at the component level
Strong ability to analyze circuits, understand component behavior, and troubleshoot PCBs in and out of circuit
Hands-on experience using electronic diagnostic tools such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, and similar equipment
Strong soldering and rework skills are a key requirement for this role
This position is more engineering-oriented than traditional technician or assembly roles and requires deep electronics expertise
rather than large-scale module installation
Required Qualifications
Associate’s degree in Electro-Engineering Technology or a related field with 2+ years of electromechanical testing and troubleshooting experience
OR vocational or trade school electronics training with 2+ years of relevant hands-on experience
OR equivalent combination of education and experience in manufacturing engineering or advanced electronics roles
Minimum 2+ years of hands-on electromechanical and electronics troubleshooting experience
Experience interpreting schematics, CAD drawings, and engineering documentation
AC/DC circuitry knowledge required
Strong troubleshooting and critical thinking skills
Preferred Qualifications
PCB assembly and component-level troubleshooting experience
IPC standards and soldering certification
ISO and quality system experience
Lean or continuous improvement manufacturing experience
Military technical experience applicable to electronics or engineering disciplines
Working Conditions
Manufacturing and lab environment with occasional exposure to noise, dust, fumes, or temperature variation
Ability to lift up to 40 pounds
Frequent use of hand tools including soldering tools, crimpers, and cutters
Good manual dexterity and ability to work with small components
Standing and sitting for extended periods; close vision and color distinction required
Personal protective equipment required as applicable
$60,000 - $70,000 a year
