Richmond, Canada ExcelSense Technologies Corp. Full time

ExcelSense Technologies Corp. is a global leader in the design and manufacturing of maintenance‑free self‑cleaning cameras and laser platforms for autonomous equipment and remote‑monitoring in harsh industrial environments. We have an exciting opening within our dynamic team for a Prototype Assembly Technician. This role involves hands‑on assembly of early prototype products, including working with PCBs and other mechanical hardware. The successful candidate will collaborate closely with engineering and operations teams to accelerate the product lifecycle and deliver robust, reliable systems to our customers. Location: Richmond office (on site). Role Overview As an entry‑level Prototype Assembly Technician, you will build and test electromechanical prototypes (PCBA + wiring + mechanisms). You will provide feedback for product improvement, support engineering with repairs, modifications, and upgrades to production systems, and work independently on time‑bound projects. Key Responsibilities Assemble prototype and pilot products based on drawings, schematics, and limited work instructions. Perform initial setup checks, including power on, sensor verification, current draw, and functionality. Execute light rework tasks such as soldering, crimping/terminating small connectors, tidying cable routing, and torquing fasteners. Document clear notes, photos, and redlines, suggest DFM items, and update basic work instructions. Assemble jigs/fixtures to enhance build efficiency (e.g., alignment plates, go/no‑go gauges). Assist with prototype kitting and part readiness, identify shortages or alternate parts, and conduct incoming checks on custom parts. Maintain a safe and organized prototype bench through adherence to ESD habits, proper tool care, calibration, and 5S tidiness. Collaborate with senior engineers on root‑cause analysis, testing ideas, logging results, and iterating on solutions. Required Skills 1–2 years of engineering or assembly experience. Ability to read basic mechanical drawings and schematics, and assemble products without detailed instructions. Proficiency in engineering workshop fundamentals, including hand tools, soldering, crimping small connectors (e.g., JST/Molex), torque drivers, microscope work, and ESD discipline. Experience with electrical testing (DMM, bench PSU), capable of executing checklists and recording accurate data. Strong attention to detail and high level of organization. Clear communication skills, with a focus on thorough documentation and effective collaboration with design, test, and manufacturing personnel. Additional Skills Familiarity with motors (DC/stepper/gear motors), encoders, current sensors, and seals/O‑rings. Basic knowledge of 3D printing, laser‑cutting, CNC machining, and other fabrication methods. Basic scripting for test or logging (Python/Arduino) is a plus. Knowledge of basic mechanical and electrical principles. Degree or diploma in Mechanical, Mechatronics, or Electrical Engineering is beneficial.
