Who We Are

We are pioneering modular motion technologies to power the next generation of innovation for Industrial, Aerospace and Defense. If you're excited about disrupting legacy industries, and passionate about building the financial infrastructure behind cutting-edge hardware, let's chat!

We are at the forefront of innovation, crafting exclusive motion control components that propel the industrial, aerospace, and defense sectors into the future.

A couple other things:

  • We offer a lot of autonomy
  • We like to run lean for impact
  • We have great benefits
  • We are well funded, and already generating revenue
  • We're currently in Torrance, CA, but will be moving into a new facility in Hawthorne, CA in the summer!

About the Role

Salient Motion is looking for a detail-oriented Electrical Technician to join our production/engineering team, with a primary focus on PCB rework, soldering, and hands-on assembly support. You'll work closely with our electrical and manufacturing engineers to build, repair, and troubleshoot circuit assemblies to a high standard of quality and precision.

What You'll Do

  • Perform through-hole and surface-mount (SMT) soldering, including fine-pitch components, BGAs, and micro-connectors
  • Execute rework and repair on PCB assemblies: component removal/replacement, trace repair, jumper wires, and conformal coating touch-up
  • Inspect solder joints and assemblies using microscopes and visual/AOI standards (IPC-A-610 or equivalent)
  • Build and test cable assemblies and wiring harnesses
  • Support prototype builds and engineering change orders (ECOs), including quick-turn rework for R&D
  • Use hand tools, hot air rework stations, soldering irons, and reflow equipment
  • Read and interpret schematics, assembly drawings, and BOMs
  • Perform basic electrical testing (continuity, multimeter checks, functional test fixtures) to verify repairs
  • Document rework performed, failure modes found, and maintain traceability records
  • Maintain a clean, ESD-safe workstation and follow safety procedures
  • Collaborate with engineering to flag recurring defects or design-for-manufacturability issues

What You'll Bring

  • 2+ years of hands-on soldering/rework experience in an electronics manufacturing, prototyping, or repair environment
  • Proficiency with fine-pitch SMT rework (hot air, soldering iron, possibly BGA rework stations)
  • IPC-A-610 and/or J-STD-001 certification preferred (or willingness to obtain)
  • Comfortable reading schematics, assembly drawings, and BOMs
  • Steady hands, strong attention to detail, and good manual dexterity under a microscope
  • Familiarity with ESD-safe handling practices
  • Basic understanding of electrical/electronic principles (continuity, shorts, opens, polarity)
  • Experience with hand tools, multimeters, and basic test equipment

Nice to Have

  • Experience with cable/harness assembly and crimping
  • Exposure to low-volume or prototype manufacturing environments (startup pace)
  • Familiarity with conformal coating application and rework
  • Basic soldering training/certification instruction experience (if we grow the team)

What we have to offer:

We are not just building components. We are reshaping the future of the Aerospace and Defense component industry, which is a $300B+ market! Come join us and help build next generation systems that will make a massive impact at global scale.

  • Competitive compensation: $40-50/hr + equity
  • Exceptional healthcare benefits — Medical is 100% covered by the company
  • Life Insurance (2x Salary) 100% covered by the company
  • Flexible PTO, 401K, Financial Wellness Resources, and more

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
