Compensation: Negotiable based on experience and project scope.
About the Position
We are seeking an experienced, hands-on electronics technician to assemble, wire, test, and occasionally assist in designing custom electronic control systems used in professional entertainment and special effects equipment.
Most projects involve replicating existing, proven designs using supplied schematics, wiring diagrams, components, enclosure layouts, and reference photos.
We provide the components and materials. You assemble and test the completed systems at your location or workshop, and we arrange for pickup or delivery locally.
We have an established history of building these systems and are looking for a reliable local technician for ongoing projects.
Typical Projects & Components
Our systems generally involve:
12V/24V DC circuits and occasional 110V/220V AC circuits
Relays, latching relays, timers, switches, and contact triggers
AC/DC power supplies and transformers
Solenoid valve control circuits with single or multiple outputs
DMX512 signal-controlled systems
Wireless remote receivers and transmitters
3-pin/5-pin connectors and panel-mounted connections
DIN rail mounting, terminal blocks, and wiring channels
Custom electronic control enclosures
Typical applications involve using buttons, wireless remotes, or DMX512 signals to activate relays and timers controlling one or more solenoid valves.
Responsibilities
Read and accurately follow existing wiring diagrams and schematics.
Lay out and mount components inside electronic enclosures.
Drill and prepare enclosures for panel-mounted connectors and controls.
Cut, strip, crimp, solder, and route wiring.
Properly select wire gauges, colors, connectors, and heat shrink tubing.
Install DIN rails, terminal blocks, power supplies, relays, and timers.
Configure timers, relays, and other programmable components.
Test completed assemblies using a multimeter and other appropriate equipment.
Troubleshoot wiring, connections, and component functionality.
Occasionally advise on component compatibility, substitutions, enclosure sizing, and custom functionality.
Quality Standards
Professional assembly quality is essential.
All work must demonstrate clean wiring, organized layouts, secure connections, proper wire sizing, correctly applied heat shrink, and professional component mounting.

These photos represent the quality and assembly standards we expect.
Equipment & Materials
We provide or purchase all project-specific components, wiring, connectors, enclosures, mounting hardware, and other required materials.
You must have your own standard electronics assembly tools, including soldering equipment, crimping tools, wire strippers, drill, and multimeter.
Specialized testing equipment, such as a DMX512 controller, can be provided when necessary.
Technical Consulting & Custom Projects
While most projects involve replicating existing designs, occasional projects require additional problem-solving, component selection, or modifications.
We value someone who understands how and why the components work together, not simply someone who follows assembly instructions.
We compensate for reasonable, preapproved technical consulting and design assistance when required.
Who We're Looking For
Located in Las Vegas or surrounding areas.
Demonstrated experience in hands-on electronics assembly and control wiring.
Proficient in soldering, crimping, circuit testing, and troubleshooting.
Comfortable working with relays, timers, DC power supplies, and solenoid controls.
Able to interpret electrical schematics and wiring diagrams.
Detail-oriented with professional workmanship standards.
Has access to an appropriate workspace and necessary tools.
Able to work independently and communicate technical recommendations clearly.
Available for repeat projects and potentially a long-term working relationship.
