Job Description:

We’re looking for an Electronics Prototype Technician to join an innovative engineering team developing cutting-edge technology products.

This is a hands-on R&D-focused role where you’ll support new product development through electronics build, testing, debugging, and prototype refinement. You’ll play a key part in turning early-stage designs into working, testable hardware within a fast-paced engineering environment.

You’ll work closely with design engineers and be a key part of the lab team, ensuring prototypes are built, tested, and iterated to a high standard.

What you’ll be doing

  • Build, assemble, modify, and rework electronic prototypes and PCBs
  • Perform fault finding, debugging, testing, and repair of electronic assemblies
  • Carry out precision soldering, including fine-pitch SMT and component rework
  • Work with BGA and complex surface-mount components
  • Manufacture custom cable assemblies and wiring looms
  • Operate lab equipment including oscilloscopes, power supplies, microscopes, and diagnostic tools
  • Support prototype development activities alongside design engineers
  • Execute test procedures and accurately record results and observations
  • Manage lab organisation, consumables, and equipment upkeep
  • Maintain a safe, clean, and efficient engineering laboratory environment

What we’re looking for,

  • Strong experience in an electronics lab, prototype, or R&D environment
  • Confident in electronics fault finding, testing, and rework
  • Excellent soldering skills (SMT, fine-pitch, and component-level rework)
  • Experience working with complex assemblies including BGA components
  • Comfortable using standard electronics lab and workshop tools
  • Experience supporting prototype builds and engineering development
