Job Description:
ROLE: Electronics Lab Technician
About Role:
We are seeking engineers, technicians, and a machinist to help us complete construction
of, and demonstrate, the world’s most energy effective humanoid robot. RangerMAX
was brought to Plaksha University, in Chandigarh (Mohali) by Professor Andy Ruina
(ruina.org). The project is initially for 18 months and, with funding will go for at least
5 years. Eventually, the lab plans to expand to a space robotics center, developing robots
for exploration of the moon and mars. The team will only be about 9 people, each with
high level skills in at least one area, and each with abilities and energy to work across
job-description boundaries. Projects: Biped, quadruped, anti-gravity simulator, motor
Testing.
You keep the electronics side of the lab running. That means soldering (including fine-
pitch SMD rework), cable harness fabrication, board-level testing, component inventory,
and equipment maintenance. The robots in this lab use dense, custom PCBs with SMD
components throughout. There are no through-hole-only boards here.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
· SMD soldering and rework: hot air, reflow, fine-pitch QFP and QFN packages, passive components down to 0402.
· Fabricate cable harnesses: crimping, labeling, routing, strain relief, connector assembly.
· Board-level testing: power-on checks, continuity testing, basic functional verification using
· Component procurement support: identify parts, check
stock, place orders, maintain inventory records.
· Maintain ESD-protected workstations, soldering stations, and test equipment in working order.
· Support engineers during integration and debugging sessions.
· Maintain organized records of board serial numbers, rework history, and known issues
EXPERIENCE & EDUCATION QUALIFICATION:
· ITI / Diploma / B.Tech in Electronics or Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
· Demonstrated SMD soldering and rework skills (bring examples or be ready for a test).
· Experience
