About Packet Power
Packet Power designs and manufactures wireless power and environmental monitoring systems used in data centers, industrial facilities, telecom sites, and other mission-critical environments. Our products help customers monitor electrical loads, improve visibility, reduce installation complexity, and make better energy and infrastructure decisions.
We are looking for a hands-on Electrical Manufacturing Technician with strong practical knowledge of electrical power wiring, power distribution, and technical assembly. This is not primarily a circuit board or PCB assembly role. The right person will be comfortable working with wiring, electrical drawings, power monitoring devices, current transformers, terminal blocks, harnesses, enclosures, and production-quality electrical assemblies.
Position Overview
The Electrical Manufacturing Technician will support the build, test, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement of Packet Power’s electrical monitoring products. This role requires more than small electronics assembly experience. We need someone who understands how electrical systems are wired, how power distribution equipment is configured, and how to safely and accurately build products used in real electrical infrastructure.
This is a hands-on manufacturing role in a small, fast-moving environment. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, mechanically capable, electrically knowledgeable, and comfortable moving between production work, troubleshooting, documentation, and process improvement.
Key Responsibilities
Electrical Assembly & Wiring
- Build, wire, configure, and test Packet Power electrical monitoring products and related assemblies.
- Work with wire harnesses, terminal blocks, current transformers, power connections, enclosures, connectors, fuses, breakers, labels, and related components.
- Interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, assembly drawings, product specifications, and work instructions.
- Apply practical knowledge of AC power, DC power, single-phase and three-phase systems, voltage references, current measurement, grounding, and electrical safety.
- Identify wiring, configuration, labeling, or component issues before products ship.
Product Testing & Troubleshooting
- Perform functional testing, inspection, and quality checks on completed products.
- Use basic electrical test equipment such as multimeters, continuity testers, and other production test tools.
- Troubleshoot wiring, assembly, configuration, and product performance issues.
- Document defects, root causes, rework actions, and recurring production issues.
- Support return/RMA analysis when needed.
Manufacturing Quality & Process Improvement
- Follow established production procedures while helping improve them.
- Support consistent, repeatable manufacturing processes in a small production environment.
- Help improve work instructions, build documentation, test procedures, and quality checkpoints.
- Work with engineering, production, sales support, and customer support teams to resolve product and process issues.
- Maintain a clean, organized, safe, and efficient production workspace.
Safety & Compliance
- Follow all company safety procedures and applicable electrical safety practices.
- Ensure assemblies are built according to product requirements, customer specifications, and applicable standards.
- Escalate safety, quality, or documentation concerns promptly.
Required Qualifications
- Hands-on experience with electrical wiring, electrical assembly, power distribution equipment, control panels, industrial electrical systems, or similar work.
- Practical understanding of electrical power systems, not just circuit board assembly.
- Ability to read and follow electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, technical drawings, and written work instructions.
- Experience assembling or troubleshooting products that include wiring, connectors, harnesses, terminal blocks, sensors, power supplies, enclosures, or similar components.
- Strong attention to detail and commitment to build quality.
- Comfortable using basic electrical and mechanical tools.
- Ability to identify problems, ask good questions, and work through technical issues.
- Good communication skills and ability to work across departments.
- Reliable, organized, and comfortable working in a small-company manufacturing environment.
Strong Plus
- Experience with control panel wiring, panelboard wiring, switchgear, PDUs, electrical monitoring equipment, building automation, industrial controls, or power monitoring systems.
- Familiarity with current transformers, Rogowski coils, voltage taps, power meters, branch circuit monitoring, or energy monitoring equipment.
- Experience working with 120V, 208V, 240V, 277V, 480V, or low-voltage DC systems in a manufacturing, installation, or service environment.
- Experience in a small manufacturing company where team members wear multiple hats.
- Familiarity with ERP/MRP systems, inventory transactions, quality documentation, or production metrics.
- Experience with Lean, continuous improvement, root cause analysis, or structured troubleshooting.
Not the Right Fit If
This role is probably not the right fit if your experience is limited primarily to PCB assembly, soldering, surface-mount electronics, or small component assembly without broader electrical wiring or power distribution exposure. Those skills can be useful, but this position requires practical electrical knowledge beyond circuit boards.
Education & Experience
- High school diploma or equivalent preferred.
- Technical school, electrical training, military electrical/electronics training, or equivalent hands-on experience preferred.
- 3+ years of relevant electrical manufacturing, electrical assembly, industrial electrical, panel wiring, field service, or related technical experience preferred.
Benefits
- Competitive compensation.
- Performance-based bonus opportunity.
- 401(k) with company match.
- Health, dental, and life insurance.
- Paid time off.
- Professional growth opportunities in a collaborative, innovative manufacturing environment.
