About the Role
Prototype Technician / R&D Technician
Symbiotic Services is seeking a creative and hands-on Prototype Technician / R&D Technician for a dynamic role in arcade game development. This position is ideal for a resourceful, solution-oriented individual who thrives in a fast-paced, inventive environment where building compelling, one-of-a-kind games is the mission.
Position Overview
You will transform engineering documentation into prototype and pre-production games with a focus on manufacturability, testability, serviceability, and user experience. This role reports to the Director of Product Development.
Key Responsibilities
Interpret and refine wiring diagrams and Bills of Materials to create prototypes suitable for production and field service.
Design wiring harnesses and organize control/display components effectively.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to resolve electrical, mechanical, and aesthetic issues.
Analyze and mitigate external electrical/mechanical influences on game performance.
Operate diagnostic tools: oscilloscopes, volt/amp meters, pattern generators, power supplies, simulators, etc.
Develop test fixtures and work with programming teams on logical testing flows.
Train manufacturing staff on new game assembly and testing procedures.
Assist QA teams in setting and evaluating performance standards.
Support and train service technicians on repairs and maintenance of new games.
Understand and apply ETL/UL regulatory standards; coordinate with relevant certification agencies.
Repair circuit boards as needed.
Ideal Candidate
Technically adept and imaginative – a "jazz pianist" in the prototype world. Able to work from rough schematics and creatively bridge gaps using best practices. Self-directed and effective in both collaborative and independent scenarios. Experienced in electrical prototyping and game/mechanical system integration.
