The Role
Our client is looking for a detail-oriented and motivated Electronics Manufacturing Technician to join their Manufacturing Department. You will be responsible for assembling, soldering, testing, inspecting, and fault-finding electronic and electro-mechanical assemblies, requiring a practical understanding of electronic circuits, components, and test methods to ensure products meet the highest standards of quality and reliability.
Key Responsibilities
- Assemble and solder PCB assemblies, wiring looms, and connectors to IPC or equivalent workmanship standards.
- Interpret and work confidently from electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and bills of materials.
- Perform functional and diagnostic testing using electronic test equipment such as multimeters, bench power supplies, and oscilloscopes.
- Carry out component-level fault diagnosis, identify root causes, and implement corrective actions during assembly and test.
- Support engineering investigations by providing clear feedback on build issues, test failures, and recurring faults.
- Ensure accurate completion of build and test records in line with quality and traceability requirements.
- Contribute to continuous improvement by identifying opportunities to improve product reliability, test coverage, and build efficiency.
- Proven experience in an electronics manufacturing, test, or repair environment.
- Strong practical understanding of electronic components and circuits, including resistors, capacitors, semiconductors, and power regulation.
- Ability to confidently interpret and troubleshoot from electrical schematics, not just follow assembly drawings.
- Experience using electronic test equipment for verification and fault diagnosis.
- Formal qualification in electronics (e.g. HNC/HND, NVQ Level 3, apprenticeship) or equivalent practical experience.
- Methodical approach to fault finding with good documentation and communication skills.
- Comfortable working to defined quality standards and controlled build procedures.
- Experience working to IPC standards or formal electronics workmanship certification.
- Exposure to low-volume, high-reliability, or bespoke electronics manufacture.
- Experience supporting engineering teams with build or test feedback.
Hours of work - Monday to Friday.
