Engineering Technician

Job title: Engineering Technician

About the Role Skyworks is seeking a highly skilled Engineering Technician to support the development, characterization, burn-in, and qualification of high reliability optocoupler and RFIC products used in space, aerospace, and military applications. The role involves hands-on work with microcircuits, testing under MIL/space standards, and building/test fixtures.

What You'll Do

• Perform burn-in and reliability testing (HTOL, HTRB, steady state life, accelerated stress, temperature cycling, environmental stress screening).
• Work from schematics, assembly diagrams, lot travelers, process specifications, and SOPs to assemble, troubleshoot, and validate semiconductor hardware with full traceability.
• Use lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, DMMs, curve tracers, SMUs, power supplies, signal generators) and soldering to characterize devices and support fixture development.
• Conduct temperature testing, thermal characterization, and environmental evaluations to validate device reliability.
• Analyze test results, assist root cause analysis, and support design/checkout of specialized test fixtures and automated test systems.
• Apply MIL PRF 38534, MIL STD 883, MIL PRF 19500, MIL STD 750, and other high-reliability standards.
• Maintain accurate documentation of test results, environmental data, device configurations, and traveler updates; ensure aerospace/defense quality and ESD controls.

What We're Looking For

• Associate degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering Technology, or related technical field; or equivalent military/industry experience.
• 3+ years of hands-on experience in semiconductor, microcircuit, optoelectronic, or high reliability electronics testing.
• Strong proficiency with lab equipment: oscilloscopes, DMMs, curve tracers, SMUs, power supplies, and signal generators.
• Experience with burn-in testing (HTOL, HTRB, life testing), temperature testing, environmental stress screening, or device characterization.
• Ability to read schematics, assembly diagrams, lot travelers, process specs, and SOPs.
• Soldering skills; familiarity with MIL PRF 38534, MIL STD 883, MIL STD 750, MIL PRF 19500, or similar aerospace/defense standards.
• Strong documentation and attention to detail for traceability and quality compliance; ability to work in an ESD controlled lab environment.

Nice to Have

• Experience with optocouplers, optical isolation devices, optoelectronic components, and RF products.
• Background in space grade or military grade semiconductor manufacturing, screening, or qualification testing.
• Experience with automated test systems or data acquisition software.
• Knowledge of radiation tolerant device testing or space environment characterization.

Compensation & Benefits

• Base pay range: USD 29.86 - 52.02 per hour. Benefits include healthcare, 401(k) with match, employee stock purchase plan, PTO, and incentives/awards depending on performance.
