Electronics Engineering Technician

About the Company

The open ocean is Earth’s largest and most power-dense renewable energy resource. Panthalassa is harnessing that resource to generate the cheapest energy on the planet. Our mission is to provide abundant and affordable clean energy for everyone.

Founded in 2016 and based in the Pacific Northwest, our team comes from diverse backgrounds in aerospace, naval architecture, marine operations, hardware, software, and research.

About the Job

Our core technology is the node, a device that produces energy in the ocean’s harshest conditions for years at a time without human maintenance or intervention.

As an Electronics Engineering Technician, you will build, rework, test, troubleshoot, and maintain the electrical hardware that goes into our nodes and test systems. The work ranges from circuit card assembly and rework to cable harnesses, sensors, microcontrollers, power systems, and depth-rated enclosures.

This is a hands-on role for someone who is comfortable building and reworking electronics, integrating systems, conducting tests, documenting results, and maintaining a well-organized electronics workspace. Good work in this role means building hardware carefully, identifying problems early, documenting what you learn, and helping engineers get reliable systems into the field.

Responsibilities

• Build, rework, test, calibrate, and troubleshoot analog and digital electronics, including through-hole and surface-mount circuit card assemblies.
• Assemble depth-rated enclosures, bulkhead panel wiring, cable harnesses, sensors, microcontrollers, and power systems into integrated power and data networks.
• Perform high-skill soldering, component replacement, board bring-up, and low-volume circuit board assembly and rework.
• Test and inspect externally built PCBs and sensor systems before they enter inventory, identifying and documenting defects or performance issues.
• Support electrical and software engineers with hardware integration, initial flashing, provisioning, and troubleshooting of microcontroller and IoT systems.
• Assist with maintaining the organization and day-to-day readiness of electronics work areas, including component storage, labeling, inventory organization, tooling, and supplies.
• Prepare and kit electronic hardware, tools, and spare components for off-site operations in remote locations.
• Create and maintain clear records, work instructions, test results, and inventory information using databases, spreadsheets, and other documentation tools.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on experience building, modifying, testing, and troubleshooting printed circuit board assemblies using through-hole and surface-mount components.
• 3+ years of experience working as an engineering technician or in an equivalent hands-on electronics role.
• Experience working safely with high-voltage electronics.
• Experience fabricating and repairing cable assemblies.
• Experience with environmental qualification and testing...
