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.
