As a Senior Technician, you will be the heart of what keeps our Austin Timing lab running like clockwork. The whole Austin Timing Team will rely on you to maintain our inventory of critical lab supplies, order equipment & other items for engineering lab use, modify our Timing IC evaluation boards to run important experiments, and coordinate the calibration & repair of all our bench test equipment. Your technical expertise will be challenged with assisting engineers with lab measurements, developing printed circuit board (PCB) prototypes, debugging PCBs, fine-pitch soldering, and maintaining a software library for automated PCB testing using our existing templates. Your efforts will help us continue to dominate the high-end timing business by enabling engineers to focus on innovative technologies and timely solutions for our diverse customer base.
