Electrical Engineering Technician

About Intelli Serv (an NOV company)

Intelli Serv develops high-reliability downhole technology - including Wired Drill Pipe systems that enable high-speed data transmission from downhole to the surface. We're building and expanding our R&D capability in Provo, and we're looking for a hands-on technician who enjoys building, testing, troubleshooting, and documenting electronics used in demanding real-word environments.

Role Summary

This position is split approximately 50/50 between:

* R&D Lab Technician support (prototype builds, rapid iteration, new test setup/execution), and

* Sustaining support (repeatable builds/tests, troubleshooting, documentation, continuous improvement of existing hardware and processes).

You'll work closely with Electrical Engineers and cross-functional partners to keep prototypes moving quickly while also improving stability and repeatability for released products.

Key Responsibilities

R&D Lab Support (approx. 50%)

* Assemble and rework electronic prototypes (through-hole and SMT support as needed)

* Build prototype cables/harnesses, fixtures, and simple tools to support engineering development

* Set up test equipment, execute test plans, capture data, and summarize results

* Troubleshoot electronics and help isolate root cause issues with engineers

Sustaining Support (approx. 50%)

* Execute sustaining tests and verification activities for existing products

* Support failure investigation and corrective actions (re-test, reproduce issues, document findings)

* Create, follow, and improve work instructions, build travelers, checklists, and test procedures

* Produce clear test reports and documentation that others can reproduce and follow

Lab Operations / Equipment Readiness

* Perform high-quality soldering and rework/repair

* Use standard lab tools DMMs, oscilloscopes, power supplies, and signal sources

* Maintain lab test equipment readiness and organization (check-out/check-in tracking, labeling, calibration-status coordination, and basic upkeep)

* Maintain good lab practices (ESB handling, organization, build quality, traceability)

Required Qualifications

* 5+ years hands-on electronics technician experience (engineering lab, R&D, sustaining, or equivalent)

* Strong soldering and rework skills with attention to workmanship

* Solid electronics fundamentals (comfortable explaining basic component behavior - diodes, resistors, capacitors, etc.)

* Proficient with oscilloscopes and DMMs

* Ability to read schematics, follow wiring diagrams, and build to documented procedures

* Strong documentation skills (test notes, procedures, and reports)

Preferred Qualifications (Nice to Have)

* Experience with Altium Designer (we can train), including creating/maintaining library components/footprints

* Experience building or maintaining test fixtures (wiring, connectors, basic mechanical assembly)

* Ability to troubleshoot complex issues, execute repeatable tests, and manage controlled engineering documentation

* Comfort working in a fast-paced environment where priorities shift between prototype speed and sustaining discipline

What Success Looks Like

* You can independently build, rework, and verify assemblies with minimal supervision

* You execute tests reliably and document results clearly

* You improve speed and quality by refining fixtures, work instructions, and repeatability

* You can switch gears between prototype iteration and sustaining rigor without dropping details
