Troubleshoot complex electronic circuits to the component level using schematics, test data, and electronic instrumentation
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
Engineering and Manufacturing personnel work closely together during both new product development and production. The instruments are modern, the learning is continuous, and the stakes are high. Every defect you catch or root cause you identify protects a customer and the people who depend on their power system.
Our manufacturing facilities are US-based, modern, clean, safe, and growing. Electronics Technicians are at the heart of what we do and a vital part of our Test Engineering team. You will see your work move quickly from a problem on the production floor to a better test process, stronger product quality, or a repaired device ready for use.
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.
You own what you build. SEL is 100% employee-owned. There are no outside shareholders. When the company succeeds, you share directly in that success through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan.
You will grow here. We employ, train, and challenge highly qualified people. You do not need to be a deep expert on day one. We invest in people who know the fundamentals and want to grow. We know that the person best equipped to improve a process is the one performing the process, and that empowerment and education ensure continuous improvement. Apprenticeships, tuition assistance, STEM education, and engineering development programs are all part of how we grow our people.
It is built to last. SEL has manufactured in the United States since 1984. We view our role in the electric power industry with a long-term perspective, which parallels the longevity of our products.
Multiple Positions. Two Locations.
We are actively filling several electronics technician roles across multiple teams in Pullman, WA and Lewiston, ID. Both are part of the Palouse region—a tight-knit community amid the rolling hills of eastern Washington and north-central Idaho, with two major universities as close neighbors, strong K-12 schools, affordable housing, and no traffic. The Snake and Clearwater rivers converge in Lewiston for year-round fishing and boating. Hiking and mountain biking trails are minutes from town, and ski areas like Bluewood, Lookout Pass, and Mount Spokane are within a short drive. Farmers markets, local festivals, community theater, and Division I athletics round out a quality of life that is difficult to match in a larger metro area.
If you have a foundation in electronics and want to do work that matters, we would like to hear from you.
