Description   As a leading worldwide provider of navigation devices and wearable technology, Garmin’s focus is on designing, building, and supporting superior products. Our advanced technology promotes performance, safety and ease of use in every market we serve. That makes us an engineering and technology company with a keen focus on recruiting talent in those fields. And the same vertical integration business model that keeps all design and manufacturing processes in-house also gives us the incentive to hire top performers from different backgrounds, including engineering, operations, finance and accounting, information technology, sales, marketing and communications. Associates get the royal treatment at Garmin. Regardless if you’re a newbie or a veteran, engineers dream it, design it and use it. Here, you will be surrounded by others who share the same passion about what they do every day. We offer a relaxed team environment (no dress code!) where advancement is found from sharing knowledge, not hiding it! While we promise you a lot of responsibility, you also will have the opportunity to have ownership over projects…oh, and we promise you there will be some fun mixed in there, too! Our engineering technicians partner with design engineers to debug first prototypes, including new circuits or systems. They may also modify designs and build and test prototype circuits for new products, perform expert-level PCB and unit modifications, including adjusting, calibrating, aligning, and modifying circuitry and components. If you’d like to recommend design improvements for advanced circuitry or improve assembly methods for increased reliability and simplified assembly and maintenance. Garmin is looking for a full time Senior Engineering Technician to support the product development team in our Santa Barbara, CA area office. In this role you will be responsible for recommending design improvements and changes in advanced circuitry or assembly methods to improve reliability or simplify assembly and maintenance. Other essential functions include: Serve as expert on lab equipment/tools, including maintenance and coordinating routine calibration of lab test fixtures and test equipment, and may also design test fixture improvements using standard or automated tools (MATLAB, C/C++, etc…) Work on die-level testing and processing prototype device wafers in a clean room environment Assist engineers in designing and developing new test platforms to automate wafer-level, die-level, and device-level testing processes. Work closely with engineers on data analysis to draw trends and correlations on component performance results using MATLAB and other tools Assist engineers in maintaining process control charts to ensure quality of production parts.  Troubleshoot various test equipment such as testing electronics, vacuum and packaging systems Write technical reports, including documentation of the test setup, block diagrams, and test setup schematics to fully document test results and analysis Set up, run and complete detailed qualification plans and reports with little direction and produce error free reports  Lead or assist with new component evaluation and qualification   Hunter Affonso Team A
