Electronics Technician 3

Meet the team

The R&D Test Engineering team supports the development, verification, and reliability of Dexcom products through laboratory testing, prototype evaluation, and hands-on engineering support. As an Electrical Rework Technician III, you will be a highly skilled technical contributor responsible for complex electrical assembly, modification, troubleshooting, repair, and rework of prototype hardware, printed circuit board assemblies, test fixtures, and engineering equipment. You will collaborate with electrical, test, reliability, and manufacturing engineers to deliver high-quality hardware that enables product development and continuous improvement.

Where you come in

• Perform advanced electrical rework and repair on printed circuit board assemblies, cables, wire harnesses, connectors, and electromechanical systems.
• Troubleshoot electrical and electronic failures using schematics, engineering drawings, test procedures, and diagnostic equipment.
• Execute approved engineering changes, prototype modifications, and design updates on development hardware and test systems.
• Perform fine-pitch soldering, component replacement, trace repair, jumper installation, connector rework, and cable modifications.
• Partner with engineers to identify root causes of hardware failures and implement documented corrective actions.
• Build, modify, verify, and maintain engineering test fixtures, prototype assemblies, and laboratory equipment.
• Support prototype builds, engineering verification, reliability testing, and failure analysis activities.
• Inspect completed work and document repairs, rework, and configuration changes in accordance with applicable procedures and Good Documentation Practices.
• Identify opportunities to improve rework methods, tooling, laboratory processes, and overall efficiency.
• Provide technical guidance and hands-on support to less experienced technicians as needed.

What makes you successful

• Advanced hands-on proficiency in precision electronic assembly, soldering, and rework of surface-mount and through-hole components.
• Independently diagnose complex hardware issues to the component level using oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, power supplies, and related test equipment.
• Read and interpret electrical schematics, assembly drawings, wiring diagrams, bills of materials, and controlled work instructions.
• Exceptional attention to detail and high-quality workmanship in a regulated development environment.
• Communicate technical findings clearly and collaborate effectively with engineers, technicians, quality partners, and other cross-functional stakeholders.
• Manage multiple priorities, adapt to changing program needs, and work independently with limited supervision.
• Strong commitment to safety, quality, compliance, and accurate documentation.
• Experience supporting prototype development, engineering laboratories, medical devices, or another regulated industry.
• IPC-A-610, IPC J-STD-001, or IPC-7711/7721 certification preferred.
• Continuous improvement mindset to strengthen laboratory readiness, rework practices, and equipment support.
