Elecronics Assembly Technician

Electronics Assembly Technician — Contract

Vaughan, Ontario · In Person · Contract · $25–$40/hr

About the Role

We are a technology startup based in Vaughan building proprietary outdoor camera systems for deployment across Canada and the United States. We are looking for a hands-on electronics assembly technician to join us on a contract basis to assemble our first prototype units.

Each camera unit contains a high-performance compute module, camera sensor, 5GHz wireless radio card, GPS timing module, and a PoE power circuit — all integrated into a custom machined weatherproof aluminium housing rated for year-round outdoor operation. You will work from a detailed technical specification document and assemble these units to a defined acceptance test standard.

This is precise, careful bench work. We are a small startup building something new and we need someone who takes pride in doing it right.

What You Will Do

• Assemble electronic components into a custom machined aluminium housing to a provided technical specification

• Install and connect compute module, camera sensor module, wireless radio card, GPS module, secure element, and PoE power circuit

• Route and terminate internal cabling including MMCX RF pigtails, ribbon cables, and power wiring

• Apply conformal coating to assembled boards

• Install and torque weatherproof cable glands and O-ring gaskets to IP67 specification

• Assist with firmware loading and run acceptance tests on completed units

• Document any deviations from the specification and flag them to the engineering team

What We Are Looking For

Required

• Minimum 1 to 2 years hands-on electronics assembly experience

• Must have your own tools — soldering station, ESD mat and wrist strap, hand tools, precision screwdrivers, multimeter

• Comfortable working with small connectors — MMCX, u.FL, JST, ribbon cables

• ESD awareness and proper grounding discipline

• Ability to read a wiring diagram and component specification sheet

• Steady hands and strong attention to detail

Nice to Have

• Experience with single board computers such as Jetson, Raspberry Pi, or similar

• M.2, miniPCIe, or camera module assembly experience

• Conformal coating application experience

• Weatherproof or IP-rated enclosure assembly

• Basic Linux command line familiarity

No degree required. A portfolio of hands-on work or demonstrated experience is more important to us than credentials.

Contract Details

• First contract: 4 prototype units — approximately 2 to 3 weeks of work

• Strong performance leads directly to a follow-on contract for a 40-unit production run

• Pay: $25 to $40 CAD per hour depending on experience

• Location: Vaughan, Ontario — in person at our workshop

• Start: As soon as possible

How to Apply

Send your resume and a brief note about your electronics assembly experience to [your email]. Include a photo or description of something you have previously built or repaired. Applications without this will not be considered.
