WET (Design)

Overview

WET is seeking an experienced Senior Solder / Electrical Assembly Technician to build lighting systems for extraordinary experiences that transform how people encounter nature’s elements. This hands-on production role requires advanced soldering skills and a strong attention to detail.

Responsibilities

• Assemble, wire, solder, test, inspect, and prepare LED light heads, lighting assemblies, power supplies, cables, connectors, and related electrical hardware.
• Clean, prepare, tin, position, and solder components onto printed circuit boards using through-hole soldering techniques.
• Build and repair cable assemblies, connectors, harnesses, and associated electrical components to drawing, schematic, and work-instruction requirements.
• Perform cable dressing, cable routing, cable-tray work, conduit-related installation tasks, and mechanical integration of electrical assemblies as required.
• Stage materials, verify kit completeness, set up workstations, and prepare assemblies for efficient production execution.
• Use calibrated precision tools and test equipment, including torque wrenches, ohmmeters, programming equipment, and other electrical diagnostic tools.
• Complete electrical and functional testing; identify defects, troubleshoot failures, document results, and ensure assemblies meet acceptance criteria before release.
• Handle fragile, sensitive, and precision-built assemblies with care to prevent damage, contamination, electrostatic discharge, or cosmetic defects.
• Read, interpret, and work from technical drawings, wiring diagrams, schematics, bills of materials, procedures, specifications, and test instructions.
• Maintain accurate build, inspection, test, rework, and traceability documentation.
• Work closely with Production Engineers to develop, refine, document, and improve assembly processes, tooling, test methods, and work instructions.
• Identify recurring defects, quality concerns, material issues, and process gaps; recommend practical solutions that improve quality, efficiency, and reliability.
• Maintain a clean, organized, safe, and production-ready work area.
• Follow all WET safety, quality, ESD, workmanship, and conduct requirements.
• Support cross-functional production needs and perform other related duties necessary to meet project commitments.

Requirements

• High school diploma or GED required.
• 5+ years of hands-on electrical assembly experience with significant, verifiable soldering responsibility.
• Advanced through-hole soldering capability and a strong record of producing clean, durable, high-quality solder joints.
• Formal electronics training or equivalent practical experience in electrical assembly, installation, wiring, soldering, cable fabrication, connector repair, and electronic troubleshooting.
• Demonstrated experience cleaning, preparing, soldering, inspecting, and reworking PCB-mounted electronic components.
• Strong working knowledge of electrical assemblies, LED lighting systems, power supplies, cables, connectors, and related low-voltage hardware.
• Experience using manual, power, pneumatic, and precision hand tools safely and effectively.
• Ability to use torque wrenches, ohmmeters, multimeters, continuity testers, and basic programming or configuration equipment.
• Ability to read, understand, and accurately follow drawings, wiring diagrams, technical schematics, assembly procedures, and test instructions.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and the ability to integrate electrical and mechanical components into a finished assembly.
• Excellent hand-eye coordination, fine motor control, and finger dexterity for detailed and repetitive precision work.
• A disciplined approach to quality, documentation, workmanship standards, and repeatable process execution.
• A resourceful, solutions-oriented mindset with the ability to troubleshoot under schedule pressure.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work productively with engineers, technicians, production leads, and cross-functional manufacturing teams.

Additional Information

• Location: Burbank, California.
• Willingness and availability to work overtime and weekends as required to meet critical project and delivery schedules.
