• Support, maintain, repair, and improve automated electronic test equipment and production test stations
• Develop and refine test methods, techniques, scripts, and programs, including flying probe test programs
• Analyze failures to identify root causes, trends, and opportunities for improvement
• Partner with test operators, test engineers, and R&D teams to support products and test systems
• Continuously identify, measure, and improve processes to make SEL products, test systems, and manufacturing better
• This Role Might Be For You If:
• You have a solid foundation in analog and digital electronics
• You enjoy hands-on troubleshooting, problem solving, and learning by doing
• You want to build deeper expertise in automated test systems, instrumentation, and manufacturing test
• You communicate clearly and work well with operators, technicians, engineers, and production teams
• You want to build things that work and improve processes that matter
• Even Better If:
• You have experience troubleshooting electronic assemblies to the component level
• You have worked with automated test equipment, flying probe systems, or production test stations
• You have exposure to programming, scripting, or test automation
• You have experience with manufacturing, repair, or quality improvement work
• Why SEL
• Your work has purpose. Our customers rely on our products to keep critical systems fully operational-and we stand behind them 100 percent. By concentrating on our purpose, we continue to build our service to the electric power industry worldwide.

We are hiring Electronics Technicians across SEL Manufacturing in Pullman, WA and Lewiston, ID . If you have a foundation in electronics and want to grow your skills doing hands-on test and troubleshooting work that directly impacts product quality, these positions might be right for you. Why This Work Matters Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories exists to make electric power safer, more reliable, and more economical. Our devices must respond to system faults within milliseconds-to ensure safety, avoid damage, and minimize outages. Hundreds of utilities and millions of industrial, commercial, and residential consumers depend on SEL products every day. Our products are industry-leading, and the test infrastructure that verifies them must be as well. Reliability is designed into every SEL product, and Manufacturing is where that design becomes a physical device a customer will depend on for decades. Electronics Technicians sit at the intersection of electronics, instrumentation, troubleshooting, quality, and production. Whether you are performing root cause analysis, troubleshooting test failures to the component level, repairing an automated test station, improving a test script, creating a flying probe test program, or innovating process improvements, your work has a direct impact on our customers, community, and company.
