**Overview**:
We are seeking a skilled Electronics Technician to join our team. As an Electronics Technician, you will be responsible for maintaining and repairing electronic equipment. This is a hands-on role that requires strong technical knowledge and problem-solving skills.

**Main Purpose of the Job**:
Maintenance, manufacturing, support, installation, and development of our products.

**Reports to**:
Production Manager

**Duties and Responsibilities**:
We are a small company and so the duties may vary considerably and they may develop as the company grows. However, it is expected that the majority of the tasks will be hands-on work in the workshop but from time to time this may include travel and working outdoors. Examples may include:

- Repair damaged or faulty products that are returned from our customers. For example, water damage to circuit boards.
- Assemble or assist in the assembly of our products and prototypes. We typically assemble products in batches and the process normally involves electronic assembly, mechanical assembly, programming and testing.
- Maintaining component and consumable stock which will require communicating with suppliers and helping to source components and services.
- Preparing, packaging and shipping products to and from customers.
- Install or assist in the installation of permanent or temporary equipment at customer sites. A few times a year they may be required to travel to Racecourses nationally or internationally. Such installation work may require working long days and include physically demanding activities including working at heights and in confined spaces.
- Maintain good records of their work, typically a logbook, and keep good record keeping practices and from time to time contribute to the writing of documentation and instructions.
- Assist in the planning, documentation and execution of research and development work and testing. Many times a year they may be required to assist in testing for new developments and enhancements, this may include outdoor testing and also analysis of data such as measurement logs or video recordings.
- Assist in live support activities, including communicating with customers remotely, triaging problems and escalating issues in a timely manner.

**Mandatory Skill Requirements**:

Strong verbal and written communication in English

Must hold a valid Ontario drivers’ licence, have regular access to a vehicle and be legally able to rent a vehicle.

They be competent using Microsoft Windows and the basic Microsoft Office programs including Word and Excel.

They must have experience with through hole and surface mount soldering and be capable of soldering 0402 size components by hand.

They must be competent preparing, crimping, soldering, and assembling wires and cable assemblies.

Experience using Python or other computational programs for data analysis.

Experience working with databases.

**Working Conditions**:
Normal working hours will be Monday-Friday, 9:00am to 5:30pm. However, Gmax Technology operates within a leisure industry, and as such they will sometimes be required to work outside of normal working hours, on weekends or on holidays. This might include responding to unscheduled and urgent requests from customers. Typically, time-off-in-lieu will be offered for these additional hours; however, overtime will be offered when there are significant time pressures.

They will spend a large portion of their time soldering which will include working with leaded and unleaded solder, flux, and cleaning chemicals. Additionally, some of the work may need to be completed under a microscope or magnifying lens.

From time to time, during installation or testing work, they may be required to work outdoors at any time of the year. This could include spending several consecutive full days working outdoors and scheduling may not always allow for us to avoid poor weather.

**Physical Requirements**
- Strength Guidelines

Installations and on-site testing will require them to lift ladders, tools and toolboxes. Additionally, these installations and testing visits may also require larger equipment to be lifted in and out of vehicles, up stairs or held in place temporarily. Such items may weigh as much as 50lbs.
- Motion Parameters

Daily they will require good dexterity in their hands to perform soldering, assembly and repair of small components and wires. They will also be required to sit or stand at a desk for long hours during this time.
