Job Title: Test Technician - High Voltage Electronics

Job ID: AS20211502-56620

Job Location: Torrance, CA

Job Description:

We currently have an opportunity for a talented TEST TECHNICIAN to test high-voltage DC power supplies at our Torrance, CA location. In this full-time hourly position, you will conduct the full range of testing on our 2.8-10 kV switching power supplies, from initial testing through environmental test. You'll check all circuits (logic, fault, etc.) that monitor power supply condition and repair or replace any failed components, such as transformers, inductors or capacitors. Other responsibilities include:

* Effectively test all PCB boards for electrical profiles per test specification.
* Monitor and record ongoing testing. When specifications are met, record final data such as gain, power, noise and other parameters.
* Use Thermal Temp chambers with understanding of RF and DC test set-up in compliance to test specification and methodologies.
* Prepare amplifier units to meet RF specifications through a series of environmental conditions as required by written test procedures.
* Maintain records on each unit tested and update routers as necessary.
* Troubleshoot hardware and all electrical, electronic, and mechanical equipment associated with test to determine causes of deviations from acceptable test results.

You should have at least four years of experience testing DC power supplies, preferably at high voltages, with strong DC troubleshooting skills. Other qualifications that will enable you to perform successfully in this position include:

* Good knowledge of analog and digital circuits.
* Thorough understanding of electronic theory is needed.
* Must be able to operate standard test equipment, such as oscilloscopes or DMMs.
* Requires the ability to read and interpret test instructions, assembly instructions and engineering drawings.
* Familiarity with environmental testing, such as altitude, vibration and temperature cycling, is a plus.
* Basic computer skills are required, with knowledge of Microsoft office applications needed.
* Effective communication skills are necessary in order to work effectively with team members, supervisors, and other employees.
* You should have an associate's degree in electronics or a related field, OR an equivalent combination of education and experience.
* Familiarity with high-voltage power supplies, including high-voltage safety practices, is needed.
