Laboratory Technician

About the Role:

We’re looking for a hands-on, detail-oriented Lab Technician to join our growing team. In

this role, you’ll work at the intersection of optics and electronics, performing testing,

alignment, and validation of optical and electronic components and modules. You’ll

collaborate closely with engineers and play a key role in ensuring product quality,

reliability, and performance.

What You’ll Do

 Perform optical alignment and electrical probing on chips and wafer probers.

 Execute chip- and wafer-level testing, including die/wafer handling and probe

alignment.

 Conduct optical and electrical testing of modules using test fixtures; run tests,

collect, and save data.

 Carry out electronic hardware/PCBA validation testing, including data collection

and troubleshooting.

 Perform PCB and PCBA rework and assist with soldering and assembly tasks.

 Help source electronic parts and PCBs, manage vendor orders, and maintain

inventory.

 Ensure a clean, organized, and efficient workspace while adhering to safety and

process standards.

What We’re Looking For

�� Education:

 Technical school or Associate’s degree in a related field (Optics, Electronics, or

Engineering Technology).

�� Technical Experience:

 Hands-on experience with optics or fiber optics testing, following multi-step

procedures, interpreting instrument readings, and handling delicate micro-optic

components.

 Familiarity with electronic testing and troubleshooting, particularly involving

PCBAs.

 Preferred experience with optical alignment, electrical probing, soldering, and

opto-mechanical setup.

 Basic understanding of PCB fabrication and assembly processes.

�� Equipment & Tools:

 Multimeter, power supply, oscilloscope, waveform/function generator, electrical

spectrum analyzer.

 Soldering iron, PCBA rework tools, microscope inspection equipment.

�� Software Skills:

 Excel and data entry tools.

 PCB design/layout tools (e.g., Cadence) — ability to read schematics and

layouts.

 Comfortable searching for and ordering electronic components online.

Soft Skills That Make You a Great Fit

 Exceptional attention to detail and manual dexterity.

 Strong communication and team collaboration skills.

 Adaptable, open to feedback, and proactive in continuous improvement.

 Accountable, reliable, and organized in managing tasks and documentation.

 Self-motivated and eager to learn new technologies — flexible to take on urgent

tasks when needed.

Why Join Us

You’ll be part of a team that’s pushing boundaries in photonics and electronic integration

— working on innovative, high-impact technology in a collaborative environment that

values curiosity, precision, and growth.
