Electronic Technician ( discreet component troubleshooting )

Arrow EDM, Inc.

Illinois · Rantoul · United States

Job Description Job Description

Arrow EDM is an industry leader specializing in high-precision Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) equipment, manufacturing, and industrial machinery solutions. As a proudly veteran-owned business, we bring military-grade integrity, discipline, and a mission-first mindset to everything we do.

We are urgently seeking a sharp, highly analytical Electronics Technician who thrives on true problem-solving. This isn't a role for someone who simply swaps out generic circuit boards-we want a technician who understands circuitry fundamentally and can perform discrete component troubleshooting. If you are looking for a high-accountability environment where your skills are recognized and your path to leadership/advancement is wide open, your next mission starts here.

Key Responsibilities

  • Discrete Component Diagnostics: Isolate, diagnose, and troubleshoot system failures down to the discrete component level (including individual resistors, capacitors, transistors, diodes, and integrated circuits).

  • Schematic Interpretation: Read, trace, and thoroughly analyze complex electrical schematics, blueprints, and circuit layouts to identify system bottlenecks or faults.

  • Hands-On Component Repair: Safely and skillfully desolder faulty discrete components and solder replacements onto precision printed circuit boards (PCBs) without damaging surrounding traces.

  • EDM System Calibration: Maintain, repair, and optimize electrical assemblies, pulse power supplies, and CNC controller elements specific to advanced EDM machinery.

  • Equipment Utilization: Masterfully operate advanced diagnostic tools including digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, function generators, and component testers.

Qualifications & Skills

  • Technical Expertise: Proven experience in electronics repair with a deep, demonstrable mastery of discrete component troubleshooting.

  • Bench Skills: High proficiency in precision bench soldering, surface-mount technology (SMT), and through-hole component replacement.

  • Problem Solver: Exceptional analytical skills-you look at a failing circuit board as a puzzle to solve, not a part to discard.

  • Background: A military electronics background (Army 94-series, Navy ET/AT, Air Force Avionics, etc.), an equivalent civilian technical degree, or pure, hard-earned troubleshooting talent gets you the job.

  • Drive for Success: A proactive work ethic. We are looking for individuals who want to master this role and quickly move up into senior technical or supervisory positions.

Company Description Arrow EDM is a proudly veteran-owned leader in high-precision Electrical Discharge Machining technology. We foster a high-accountability environment focused on integrity, grit, and real troubleshooting skill. If you want a clear path to career growth, your next opportunity starts here.
