Electronics Technician

Functions

As Electronics technician in the EF Section, you will play an active role in defining technical specifications, following the projects with customers, and providing technical solutions for the development and production of PCB and PCB-like products from the circuit layout to the final product.

This will involve:

-Preparing technical dossiers, designing detector components layouts (hybrids, PCBs) from specifications and assuring autonomous job follow up, including costing.
-Producing hybrid circuit and printed circuit boards.
-Diagnosing problems of fabrication, providing feedback and elaborating solutions to improve fabrication processes.
-Taking active part in all phases of detector manufacturing process, in some cases up to the full assembly stage and quality control.
-Managing component supply and purchasing orders.
-Contributing to the maintenance of the workshop infrastructure.
