Energy and Grid

Electrical Engineering Technician

The Company

We’re partnered with a venture‑backed climate hardware innovator using controlled high‑voltage electrical pulses to create and steer subsurface permeability—enabling cleaner geothermal energy, more efficient critical mineral recovery, geologic hydrogen development, and carbon storage. Fast‑moving, safety‑first, low‑ego lab + field culture.

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

The Role

You will be the hands-on force turning designs into rugged field systems. You’ll build, instrument, wire, test, maintain, and deploy advanced electrical reservoir stimulation equipment—spanning high‑voltage pulse hardware, low‑voltage control & sensor networks, power distribution, and electro‑mechanical assemblies. Expect tight iteration loops: bench prototype → subsystem integration → full stack checkout → field mobilization → rapid feedback into redesign.

Your Impact

  • Build & Assemble: Fabricate, wire, and integrate electrical and electro‑mechanical subassemblies (enclosures, HV stages, control panels, sensor harnesses, interlocks)
  • Field Deploy: Support packing, site setup, commissioning, safe operation, and teardown; troubleshoot under schedule and environmental pressure
  • Test & Diagnose: Use multimeters, oscilloscopes, signal generators, HV probes, and data logs to validate performance, isolate faults, and drive corrective actions
  • Maintain & Improve: Execute preventive maintenance; track failure modes; propose design-for-reliability and serviceability improvements
  • Document: Create clear build logs, wiring updates, maintenance records, part substitutions, and safety checklists
  • Safety & Compliance: Help enforce HV and machinery safety (lockout/tagout, grounding, interlocks, PPE) aligned with relevant NFPA practices
  • Collaborate: Provide grounded, real‑time feedback to engineers so design decisions reflect field realities (cable routing, connectors, thermal, vibration, service access)

About You

  • Electrical Engineering Technician diploma / associate degree (or equivalent hands‑on military / industry training)
  • 2+ years assembling, wiring, testing, and troubleshooting electrical or electromechanical equipment
  • Comfortable reading and interpreting electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and basic mechanical drawings
  • Proficient with core diagnostic tools (multimeter, oscilloscope, signal generator) and safe tool handling
  • Demonstrated experience wiring panels / control systems (terminal blocks, relays, sensors, PLC or microcontroller I/O)
  • Strong mechanical aptitude (fastening, enclosure layout, cable management, basic machining or fabrication a plus)
  • Clear, thorough maintanence/repair documentation habits; MS Word/Excel/PowerPoint (or Google equivalents) proficiency
  • U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident (green card)
  • Self‑directed, reliable in dynamic lab + field settings; takes ownership of quality and safety

Nice to Have

  • Hands‑on exposure to high voltage (>10 kV) systems or pulsed power components
  • Familiarity with NFPA 79 (industrial machinery) and NFPA 70E (electrical safety) practices
  • Startup / rapid prototyping environment experience
  • Basic PLC, embedded, or data acquisition integration
  • Light CAD (electrical or mechanical) or documentation platform (e.g., EPLAN, AutoCAD Electrical, SolidWorks) experience

Why This Role

You’ll accelerate the path from concept to field‑validated clean energy hardware—owning the tangible build and deployment layer that converts innovation into real‑world decarbonization impact.
