Electrical Engineering Technician

Responsibilities

• Assembly of custom Hardware in the Loop (HIL) simulators used for testing electronic control systems.
• The systems are used to virtually operate ECUs from vehicles, off road vehicles, aerospace and defense, etc. All from a lab environment while getting the same results as using real components in a test vehicle.
• Using different forms of documentation to build and wire systems such as Excel Signal list, Visio for mechanical layouts, or EPLAN.
• Building mechanical assemblies including:
• Installing chassis runners for sub-assemblies
• Cutting duct and din rails for mounting components.
• Mounting terminal blocks, relays, fuses, switches, power supplies, etc.
• Building sub-assemblies for mounting real and simulated loads.
• Discrete wiring of the cabinets
• Using point to point lists and schematics to wiring simulators.
• Crimping various styles of pins including: Hypertronics, AVX (EDAC), ferrules, deutsch pins, open barrel pins, insulated and non-insulated terminals.
• Configuring PCB boards with switches and addresses.
• Making DSUB cables either by soldering or ribbon cable.
• Assisting in continuity testing of completed systems

Qualifications:

• A two-year technical degree or equivalent relevant technician experience.
• Experience/knowledge in one or more of the following areas:
• Mechanical assembly and wiring of electronic test equipment.
• Light fabrication of brackets, plates, cut-outs, etc.
• HIL system or panel wiring.
• Experience with crimping terminals, such as Hypertronics, AVX (EDAC), ferrules, ring terminals, Deutsch pin, etc.
• Proficiency in soldering through-hole and surface-mount components.
• Reading and interpreting EPLAN documents.
