Christchurch, New Zealand Basis Full time

**About Us**

Are you looking for an opportunity to make a real difference in your next role?

Why? As a society, we need to decarbonise and accelerate the transition to alternative energy sources. Existing solutions are expensive and disparate, with limited functionality.

Basis is driven by purpose, real innovation, and ambition. We have a talented team spread across New Zealand, with a creative space by the beach in Takapuna, and a Design Lab in Christchurch where our physical products come to life.

We've recently closed our Series A Capital Raise so we are well-funded and ready to grow. Our team is smart, curious and has some big goals - so if you’re interested in joining a fast-growing and startup that is design-led and puts people at its core, then we’d love to hear from you

We're also currently in stealth mode, so check out our website and we'll share more with you during the recruitment process

**The Role**

To support the growth of our engineering team and R&D lab, we are now looking for another Electronics Lab Technician. This is a very hands-on role where you'll contribute by supporting a wide range of engineers day to day in the lab, building and modifying circuit prototypes as well as keeping the lab stocked with the right components and consumables. With mentoring from our experienced lab technician as well as the wider hardware team, you'll be able to further grow your skills in this role.

Some of the things that you might be involved in include:

- **Lab Equipment**: Ensuring all our gear is running well, replacing, purchasing, wiring and organising as needed.
- **Stockist**: Ensuring we have ample supplies of parts and materials to keep us humming. This can include running errands for urgent items.
- **Electronics Prototypes**: We build lots of SMT prototypes and PCB assemblies (some inhouse, some at our factories). You will assist with inhouse assembly, modifications and other custom parts, and generally help prepare quick-turn prototypes for testing.
- **M**echanical Prototypes**:Light fabrication to facilitate product testing. 3D printing, working with local fabricators, drilling and assembling.
- **Test Systems**:We need to build lots of test systems, from simple jigs for testing concepts, to some really complex setups. Some of these will be small-signal systems, and some will be quite high power mains connected units. Work with our senior technician put these together, ensuring our wiring and connections are tidy and safe.
- **Testing**: with all this gear, we need to use it for testing. You will no doubt be performing some testing to assist our R&D program
- **Scripting**:We predominantly use Python to interface and execute out tests efficiently. At the very least you will be proficient in running other people's Python scripts, but there is also opportunity here to really grow this space, learning from our testing team.

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to grow their career in electronics whilst working in a fun, energetic and passionate start-up with big goals over the next two years You will be able to accelerate your career working with some of the best and brightest minds in the industry.

**About You**

We think you’ll be a fit for this role if you have/are:

- A tertiary qualification in Electronics, e.g. Certificate of Engineering or similar
- Approximately 2 years (or more) experience in an electrical role in engineering
- Demonstrable skills in electrical wiring, electronics and SMT soldering
- Diligence in capturing outcomes and preparing documentation sufficient for the purpose
- Familiarity with electrical test equipment such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, and methods of testing systems in an electrical lab
- Ability to develop and run python scripts
- A full driver's license is ideal as you may need to run errands in a company vehicle from time to time

Some nice-to-haves include:

- An EWRB registration
- Experience working in an electronic RnD lab

**Benefits**
- A competitive salary and employee share scheme (ESOP)
- Unlimited annual leave so that you can take the time that you need to re-energise
- Tools of the trade, including laptop and headphones, and we also pay your phone bill
- Flexible hours - we focus on effort and outcomes, so adjust your hours around your children, hobbies, or other commitments
- A schedule of fun team events throughout the year (Lego Battle Bots, Board Games Evenings, Drag Queen Bingo, what's next?)

- A commitment to diversity and inclusion: Pride Committee, DEIB Committee, EEO Policy and well-being strategy
