About the Role
As Lab Manager, you will own the day-to-day running of our hardware research lab in London, where we develop and test our home energy products. This is a hands-on technician role: you will keep a fast-moving lab safe, organised and fully operational, while directly supporting the engineering team with high-quality assembly and rework.
Responsibilities
- Run the lab day to day: layout, organisation, labelling and housekeeping of benches, tools, components and prototypes — keeping a tidy, efficient workspace as the team and equipment grow.
- Perform SMD soldering, rework and repair on prototype boards (fine-pitch components, hot-air and iron rework, modifications to engineering instructions).
- Build cable and wire harnesses for prototypes and test rigs: cutting, crimping, connector assembly and labelling, to consistent, documented quality.
- Manage lab inventory: components, consumables and tools — tracking stock, ordering replacements before they run out, and receiving/booking in deliveries.
- Maintain lab equipment: routine care of soldering stations, power supplies and instruments, and running the equipment calibration schedule with our external calibration partners.
- Uphold lab safety: ESD discipline at every bench, PPE, safe handling and storage of lithium batteries, and keeping safety procedures and signage current.
- Support engineers with test setup builds, fixture assembly, mechanical assembly and general prototype work.
- Manage goods in/out, including packaging and shipping of hardware and batteries to partners and test houses.
Requirements
- Proven experience (5+ years) as an electronics technician, with time spent running or maintaining a lab or workshop.
- Excellent hand-soldering and SMD rework skills, down to fine-pitch components.
- Able to read and work from electrical schematics, mechanical drawings and rework instructions.
- Hands-on experience building wire harnesses and cable assemblies (crimping, connectors, strain relief) to a consistent standard.
- Naturally tidy, organised and methodical — you take pride in a well-run lab and notice when something is out of place.
- Working knowledge of ESD-safe practices and safe handling of electrical/electronic hardware.
- Comfortable using basic test equipment (multimeter, bench power supply, soldering/rework stations).
