Electrical / Electronics Engineering Technician (Prototyping & Low-Volume Manufacturing)
Electrical / Electronics Engineering Technician (Prototyping & Low-Volume Manufacturing)
Preferred Location: Ottawa
Reports to: Head of Hardware
THE ROLE
Hardware reliability starts on the bench. This role is critical to turning fast-moving engineering concepts into field-ready systems that can survive real-world deployment conditions.
You’ll work across prototyping, integration, testing, and low-volume manufacturing to help accelerate development cycles and improve the quality and repeatability of our hardware platforms. From PCB bring-up to harness assembly and debug, your work will directly support systems deployed with operators in demanding environments.
You’ll be the hands-on force behind bringing hardware systems from concept to reality.
This is a highly practical role focused on rapid prototyping, electronics integration, testing, and low-volume manufacturing in a fast-moving defence technology environment. You’ll work across the full hardware development lifecycle — assembling circuits, building harnesses, debugging systems, supporting PCB bring-up, and helping transition prototypes into reliable production-ready builds.
You’ll operate close to the engineering team, solving problems in real time and contributing directly to systems designed for harsh operating environments and mission-critical applications. If you enjoy building, troubleshooting, iterating quickly, and working across electrical and mechanical systems, this role puts you at the center of hardware development.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Fabricate, assemble, and integrate electronic systems from schematics, layouts, and engineering documentation.
- Perform through-hole and SMT soldering, including fine-pitch assembly, rework, and repair operations.
- Build wire harnesses and cable assemblies, including crimping, routing, termination, labeling, and continuity validation.
- Support PCB bring-up, hardware integration, system testing, and iterative design validation.
