Position Summary

VIAVI Solutions manufactures advanced optical thin-film and pigment coating products in a 24/7 production environment in Santa Rosa, CA, with additional sites in China and Arizona. This Senior Electrical/Electronic Technician position balances two priorities: keeping manufacturing operations equipment running, and supporting new capital project work — machine installations, system upgrades, and next-generation automation platforms.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technician support for manufacturing equipment and systems, including some off-hours support.
  • Assist and lead in troubleshooting, problem analysis, data collection, and training on complex manufacturing equipment.

  • Assist with and manage equipment installation, qualification, commissioning, and acceptance testing.
  • Diagnose electrical, mechanical, vacuum system, optical, and control system failures using standard test and measurement equipment.
  • Ensure compliance with safety procedures related to high-voltage systems, vacuum systems, compressed gases, chemicals, and cleanroom operations.
  • Provide detailed, up-to-date documentation of electrical systems, including schematics, assemblies, BOMs, and CAD documentation.
  • Some limited travel may be required to support Manufacturing Operations

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.
