Electrical Assembler

Impedyme is a U.S.-based developer and manufacturer of real-time power electronics test platforms, including Motor Emulators, Grid Emulators, Battery Emulators, and Power Hardware-in-the-Loop (PHIL) systems. Our systems are used by leading OEMs, national labs, and research institutions to validate next-generation electrification technologies—safely, efficiently, and at scale. We are expanding our manufacturing team and are looking for a hands-on Electrical Manufacturing Technician / Assembler to help build high-performance, liquid-cooled, FPGA-based power systems that push the boundaries of modern power electronics testing. Position Overview As an Electrical Manufacturing Technician / Assembler, you will play a critical role in assembling, wiring, and validating Impedyme’s advanced real-time simulation and power-emulation platforms. You will work closely with electrical engineers, system architects, and software teams to translate designs into reliable, production-ready hardware. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys precision assembly, high-power electronics, and working on cutting-edge engineering systems, rather than high-volume consumer products.
