Engineering Technician

OTSI (Object Technology Solutions Inc) has an immediate opening for Engineering Technician

Engineering Technician (onsite Role)

MAJOR RESPONSIBILITES:

The role emphasizes hands-on technical expertise in BGA rework and finepitch soldering alongside strong lab management organization and communication skills with relevant experience preferred over formal education.

We are seeking an experienced Lab Manager with a strong focus on lab management expert-level soldering (particularly BGA rework and reballing) and basic bench setup and testing. This full-time contract role requires someone who takes ownership of their work and can demonstrate a proven track record running a lab. The ideal candidate brings structure accountability and hands-on technical excellence keeping the lab organized and operational while performing precision rework and standing up basic test benches to support engineering. Strong communication skills are essential as this role coordinates daily with engineering teams.

This role centers on three pillars:

Lab Management owning the organization equipment inventory calibration and safety of the lab

Soldering & Rework expert BGA rework reballing and fine-pitch hand soldering

Basic Bench Setup & Testing configuring test benches and running basic functional checks to support engineering

Schedule: 8 hours per day 5 days per week (40 hours/week)

Lab Management (primary focus)

Manage day-to-day lab operations including equipment inventory and workspace organization

Establish and enforce lab organization standards and procedures

Track inventory of components consumables and equipment

Maintain lab equipment tools and workstations in optimal condition including calibration and routine maintenance

Take ownership of lab cleanliness safety and efficiency

Coordinate with engineering teams to prioritize lab tasks and support project timelines

Soldering & Rework

Perform precision soldering and rework tasks including:

BGA (Ball Grid Array) rework and replacement

BGA reballing operations

Fine-pitch component soldering and rework

Basic Bench Setup & Testing

Set up and configure test benches and equipment for engineering tasks

Perform basic functional and bring-up testing on hardware

Connect power and verify boards and equipment and capture results

Document lab processes procedures test setups and work completed

Required Qualifications

Demonstrated lab management experience with specific examples of previous lab oversight roles this is the core of the role

Expert soldering and rework skills specifically:

BGA rework (removal and replacement)

BGA reballing techniques

QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE

Must be able to demonstrate skills during a practical assessment following virtual screening

Basic bench setup and testing capability comfortable configuring test equipment and performing basic functional/bring-up checks on hardware

Strong communication skills able to coordinate clearly with engineering teams surface issues early and document work so others can follow it

Strong organizational abilities with attention to detail and a systematic approach

Proven job history showing stability and progression in similar roles (this is not an entry-level position)

Ability to take ownership and work independently with minimal supervision

Preferred:

Direct succinct communication gets to the point clearly and keeps stakeholders informed without unnecessary back-and-forth

Linux system experience (the more experience the better)

Proficiency with rework stations (hot air IR etc.) and reballing equipment

Familiarity with common bench test equipment (power supplies multimeters oscilloscopes logic analyzers)

Experience with lab inventory management systems

IPC certification (IPC-7711/7721 or similar) for rework and repair

Practical Demonstration: Candidates must demonstrate BGA rework and reballing skills to validate technical capabilities

The ideal candidate is someone who:

Treats the lab as their own taking pride in organization and efficiency

Has a track record of reliability and ownership in previous roles

Can demonstrate not just describe their technical soldering skills

Is comfortable setting up bench equipment and running basic tests to support engineering

Communicates directly and succinctly keeping engineering teams informed

Brings structure and accountability to lab operations

Works well independently while keeping stakeholders informed
