Prototyping & Manufacturing Technician
About the role
We’re looking for a Manufacturing Technician to join our Prototyping & Manufacturing team in Kitchener. You’ll be building real products: assembling electronics, mechanical systems, and hardware for clients across IoT, cleantech, and industrial sectors.
Waterloo Technical is a product design and engineering consultancy that’s been bringing hardware products to life for over 14 years. Our team of ~20 works out of our two facilities in downtown Kitchener, where we have a prototyping shop, assembly area, and warehouse. You’ll work alongside our Senior Manufacturing Technician, who will train you on our production lines and processes.
Key Responsibilities
Assemble electronic and mechanical products following SOPs and work instructions
Perform quality checks during and after assembly
Handle warehouse tasks: pulling parts from inventory, packing products, labelling, and loading shipments
Receive inbound shipments, organize inventory, and maintain a clean workspace
Work with hand tools, power tools, soldering equipment, and basic test instruments
What We’re Looking For
Comfortable with hands-on, physical work in a workshop/warehouse environment
Reliable and detail oriented, you take pride in the quality & consistency of your work
Ability to follow written instructions precisely
Comfortable using basic hand tools
A good attitude and willingness to learn. We’ll train you on our specific products and processes
Bonus: experience with soldering, basic electronics knowledge, or a technical diploma. Extra bonus: you’ve taken apart a toaster just to see how it works.
This isn’t the same widget every day, you’ll work across a variety of products and industries, with direct mentorship and room to grow as our manufacturing operations expand. If you like working with your hands and want to build things that actually ship to customers, we’d love to hear from you.
