About Us

We are Binho. We build the products people talk about.

We develop, sell, and support our own hardware and software products under the Binho brand as well as develop custom, bespoke solutions for our clients, often tackling projects in drone delivery, autonomous vehicles, consumer IoT, AI-enabled wearable devices, advanced robotics, non-terrestrial RF communication, industrial automation platforms, and more.

Our internally developed products are used by 175+ teams at global semiconductor companies, a reach made possible by the way we’ve engineered the playbook for making hybrid teams deliver outstanding results. That expertise has also made us recognized industry leaders in I3C protocol implementation and verification — and as MIPI Alliance contributor members, we’re helping shape the ongoing I3C specification itself.

We’re doing extraordinary work. If you’re exceptional and want to create technology that pushes boundaries and defines the future, we want you on our team.

About This Role

We’re seeking a senior technician who combines expert-level hands-on skills with the ability to guide others and shape how work gets done in the lab. You’ll handle the most complex soldering, assembly, and rework tasks, run advanced testing and troubleshooting on intricate systems, and work closely with engineers to resolve challenging build issues. Your mastery of circuits, microcontrollers, and communication systems will be key to solving problems and keeping projects moving.

Alongside your technical work, you’ll mentor junior technicians, establish best practices, and ensure our fabrication and verification processes meet the highest standards. This is a role where technical mastery remains essential, but leadership and process ownership become just as important.

• Support engineering teams with rapid prototyping and proof-of-concept builds
• Validate and test electronic assemblies using advanced test equipment
• Mentor and train junior technicians on soldering, testing, and assembly techniques
• Manage lab equipment maintenance, calibration, and procurement
• Interface with manufacturing partners on assembly processes and quality issues
• Drive continuous improvement in fabrication and testing capabilities

Requirements

• CCSF Electronic Engineering Technology AS degree or equivalently rigorous program
• 5+ years of electronics technician experience with mastery of both testing and assembly
• Expert-level soldering skills including fine-pitch SMT, BGA, and micro-components
• IPC certification (J-STD-001, IPC-7711/7721, or equivalent)
• Mastery of test equipment (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers, etc.)
• Advanced troubleshooting skills for complex analog and digital circuits
• PCB assembly and rework expertise including component replacement and circuit modifications
• Experience with manufacturing processes and quality control systems
• Strong understanding of electronic circuits, schematics, and component specifications
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of technical challenges
• Strong collaboration skills with engineering teams
• Detail-oriented approach with commitment to quality and precision

Preferred

• Electronic Assembly and Fabrication Certificate or equivalent (e.g., Skyline College Electronic Assembly and Fabrication Certificate of Specialization)
• Advanced IPC certifications and instructor qualifications
• Experience training others in soldering and assembly techniques
• Knowledge of advanced assembly techniques for precision instruments
• Experience with cable and harness fabrication at production level
• Background in failure analysis and root cause investigation
• Ability to design and build custom test fixtures and jigs
• Understanding of regulatory compliance testing (FCC, CE, safety standards)
• Familiarity with automated test equipment and programming
• Experience with test and measurement equipment calibration
• Additional technical certifications or specialized training

We Offer

• Work with major technology companies and rising Silicon Valley startups
• Professional development and continuous learning opportunities
• Dynamic and innovative work environment with travel opportunities and positive, collaborative atmosphere
