Electrical Engineering Technician

About IntelliServ (an NOV company) IntelliServ 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
