About the Role

Zipline is seeking an Electronics Engineering Technician specializing in soldering and prototype assembly to build, modify, troubleshoot, and repair electronics for their Powertrain systems. This role involves partnering with engineers to assemble prototypes, perform precision soldering, fabricate wiring harnesses, and iterate hardware throughout the product development lifecycle. Responsibilities will grow with experience, from supporting engineering builds to becoming a subject matter expert.

Responsibilities

Support engineering programs from prototype build, assembly, inspection, troubleshooting, rework, to validation support.
Build, modify, troubleshoot, and repair prototype PCBAs supporting Powertrain development.
Perform precision SMT and through-hole soldering, component replacement, engineering rework, jumper wires, trace repair, and prototype modifications.
Fabricate custom wiring harnesses including wire preparation, crimping, solder splices, connector assembly, shielding, strain relief, heat shrinking, labeling, and cable routing.
Assemble electromechanical prototypes including PCBAs, harnesses, batteries, motor controllers, sensors, power electronics, and other engineering hardware.
Read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, assembly drawings, engineering change orders (ECOs), and bills of materials.
Inspect solder joints, crimps, connectors, and assemblies to high-reliability workmanship standards, identifying defects and recommending improvements.
Perform continuity testing, insulation resistance testing, hipot testing, and basic functional verification of engineering hardware.
Support engineers during prototype bring-up, debugging, root cause investigations, and rapid design iterations.
Maintain soldering stations, microscopes, crimp tooling, harness equipment, and laboratory organization.
Develop and improve assembly documentation, work instructions, fixture concepts, and standard operating procedures.
Support laboratory inventory, consumables, calibration, and prototype hardware tracking.
Promote safe handling of ESD-sensitive electronics, lithium batteries, and high-voltage electrical systems.

Requirements

Experience building, modifying, or repairing electronic assemblies, PCBAs, wiring harnesses, or electromechanical systems appropriate to your experience level.
Excellent hand soldering skills for SMT and through-hole electronics.
Experience performing electronic rework using soldering irons, hot-air rework stations, microscopes, and precision rework equipment.
Experience fabricating high-quality wiring harnesses including crimping, soldering, connector assembly, shielding, and cable management.
Ability to read electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, mechanical drawings, and assembly documentation.
Familiarity with multimeters, oscilloscopes, continuity testers, hipot equipment, power supplies, and other laboratory instrumentation.
Strong understanding of ESD controls, high-reliability electronic assembly practices, and prototype workmanship.
IPC certifications such as IPC-A-610, J-STD-001, IPC/WHMA-A-620, or IPC-7711/7721 are preferred, or willingness to obtain certification.
Strong attention to detail with pride in producing clean, reliable, flight-quality hardware.
Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary engineering teams.
