Laboratory Technician for Hardware – Consumer Electronics
===========================================================================

Laboratory Technician for Hardware – Consumer Electronics

We develop hardware for home appliances and personal care products on behalf of international customers. At Helbling Technik Bern, you will support a hardware team of three to five engineers who develop hardware together. The hardware team is in close exchange with the firmware and also the mechanics team. You accompany projects throughout the entire development cycle, from the first prototypes to series production readiness. At the center of your work is the assembly, testing, and measurement of assemblies and prototypes. You support the engineers with reliable measurement data and functional samples to make valid decisions.

Field of Activity

You are the practical interface between circuit diagrams and functional samples.
Specifically, this means:

• Independently assembling and wiring prototype hardware and test setups, based on the specifications and circuit diagrams of the responsible hardware engineers
• Commissioning populated printed circuit boards and systematically debugging malfunctions, in close coordination with the hardware team
• Performing PCB rework and soldering activities, including fine-pitch SMT components, with high precision and without damaging adjacent components
• Performing standard measurements with oscilloscope, multimeter, and power supply, as well as documenting the results carefully and traceably for the project team
• Supporting test setups for EMC pre-testing and actively participating in the execution of preliminary measurements in the laboratory
• Regularly calibrating and maintaining laboratory equipment and measuring instruments and ensuring their flawless condition for daily use in the team
• Precisely executing the engineers' test plans (Junior); as an experienced specialist, independently performing standard tests, escalating unusual findings, and independently managing test setups for assigned projects (Senior)
• Keeping the laboratory organized and tidy so that equipment, tools, and materials are always findable and ready for use

Requirements

We are looking for a specialist with real laboratory experience who likes to roll up their sleeves and enjoys precise work.

• Completed training as an Electronics Technician EFZ or equivalent, alternatively training at the Techniker HF level; the level depends on experience
• Practical experience in the laboratory or in prototype production in the field of electronics, ideally with consumer products
• Confident soldering and rework skills, routine handling of laboratory equipment such as oscilloscope, multimeter, and power supply
• Advantageous:
• Familiarity with Altium Designer for viewing circuit diagrams and layouts as well as for minor adjustments
• Knowledge of relevant norms and standards, for example IEC 60335
• Willingness to learn EMC pre-testing procedures
• Precise and reliable in documentation
• Enjoys working closely with engineers
• Methodical in way of working and disciplined in adhering to laboratory safety regulations
• German: fluent; English: good knowledge, required for daily cooperation

Helbling Benefits
-----------------

• Products that make a difference: You contribute to devices that reach real users worldwide and go into series production tomorrow
• Technical depth: Every project brings new challenges in the laboratory, new norms, and real constraints. No two projects are the same
• Interdisciplinary teams: daily collaboration with experienced mechanics, firmware, and hardware specialists who take their work seriously
• Room for development: structured support for your professional and personal development, with access to the broader Helbling network across all disciplines
• Uncomplicated way of working: flat structures, short decision-making paths, and an environment in which good ideas progress quickly
• Central location in Bern: modern offices, easily accessible, with flexible working conditions and performance-oriented, attractive compensation
