Energy and Grid

Electrical Engineering Technician

The Company

We’re partnering with a fast-growing climate hardware team advancing geothermal energy development. You’ll help turn lab systems into rugged gear that runs reliably at pilot sites.

Location: Greater Boston (on‑site / lab presence). Must have unrestricted U.S. work authorization. Travel ~20–25% (domestic + occasional international).

The Role

You’re the bridge from bench to field. Most weeks you’ll build, wire, and test electromechanical systems in the lab; regularly, you’ll travel to set up, connect, operate, and maintain equipment at customer or pilot locations. This is not a PCB/software role—think cabinets, panels, sensors, power distribution, pneumatics, and control boxes.

What you'll do:

  • Field setup & operation: Unpack, place, connect, and bring up systems; verify power, sensors, interlocks, and controls.
  • Troubleshoot fast: Use oscilloscope and multimeter, plus practical cues (sounds, vibration, smells, temps) to isolate faults.
  • Simple fixes, safely: Swap/seat modules (e.g., capacitors, relays, regulators, Pi control boxes), re-terminate connectors, and replace cables per SOPs.
  • Wiring & diagrams: Read schematics/wiring diagrams, route cables cleanly, label and document changes.
  • Maintenance: Perform inspections, PMs, and post-run service; keep clear build logs and field reports.
  • Safety first: Apply LOTO, grounding, PPE, and site checklists; think critically about safety and stop work when something’s off.
  • Feedback loop: Capture field learnings that improve reliability and serviceability; collaborate tightly with design engineers.

About You

  • EE Technology degree/diploma or equivalent hands-on military/industry training.
  • 2+ years assembling, wiring, testing, and troubleshooting larger electromechanical systems (racks/cabinets/panels), not PCB-only work.
  • Proficiency with multimeters/oscilloscopes and basic tools; can follow circuit diagrams and SOPs.
  • Comfortable with control systems (e.g., Raspberry Pi/simple I/O), pneumatics, and field cabling.
  • Organized, clear communicator; thrives in industrial/outdoor environments; valid driver’s license; able to lift up to 50 lbs and use ladders.
  • U.S. person (citizen or permanent resident) due to government-involved projects.

Nice to Have

  • Exposure to high voltage equipment or X-ray/ion-implant/industrial CT systems.
  • Familiarity with NFPA 79 / NFPA 70E and job-site practices.
  • Basic PLC/DAQ experience.
