Full job description
About the role
The Electromechanical Technician plays a central role in ensuring the quality, reliability, and continuous improvement of Distran's hardware products. The role combines hands-on repair and assembly work with quality control responsibilities, workshop ownership, and active contribution to test setup optimization and assembly process improvement. You will be part of the Hardware team, and will work closely with the Production team, contributing to both day-to-day operations and longer-term product quality initiatives.
In this role you will:
Repair customer-returned devices, including electronic component replacement and fault diagnosis
Repair devices from assembly that have issues or fail quality tests
Support failure analysis of defective devices in collaboration with Hardware Engineers
Maintain and operate the repair workshop, ensuring it is organized, equipped, and functioning at all times
Conduct quality controls during assembly and on incoming parts (IQC)
Document repairs, quality issues, and component replacements in the ticketing system and QMS
Track the fault history per device, including root cause, actions taken, and parts replaced
Document findings in the Design Change List (CCN) and review updated assembly instructions
Optimize and co-develop new test setups
Conduct product tests such as shock/drop, ageing, and leak/seal tests
Support the assembly team during peak periods
Optimize assembly processes and component design in close collaboration with hardware engineers
Design simple mechanical parts and fixtures in CAD (e.g. SolidWorks)
Your profile
Completed apprenticeship (EFZ) as a multimedia electronics technician, electronics technician, polymechanic, or design engineer
Further education at a higher technical school (HF Techniker/in) is an advantage
Demonstrated experience in the repair of electronic devices or precision mechanical assemblies
Experience working in a structured production, quality, or hardware environment is an advantage
Strong hands-on skills in electronics repair, including fault diagnosis and component-level replacement
Solid understanding of mechanical assembly principles; experience in both electronics and mechanics
Soldering / unsoldering components on PCBs, or willingness to learn
Basic CAD knowledge (SolidWorks or similar) is an advantage
Familiarity with QMS documentation, ticketing systems, or quality control processes is beneficial
High affinity for quality
Strong organizational skills
Curious and practically minded
Collaborative and communicative, able to work effectively within a multidisciplinary hardware team
Fluent English for internal communication and documentation
What we offer
Bringing groundbreaking innovative technology to a market best seller is a rewarding social and professional experience. This job is for you if you like to give meaning to your work and have a strong impact on a product, on a company and on your professional growth.

About us
Distran is a fast-growing, award-winning, Swiss high technology company producing an extraordinary product: a sensor that literally sees the sounds. Our unique product is used by major global players in Oil and Gas, Chemical, Power and even Space Exploration to detect gas leaks before they become dangerous to either humans or the environment. With strong growth in 35+ countries, our company continues to expand thanks to our amazing people passionate about innovation, climate change, and protecting the environment.
Distran develops and sells ultrasound cameras able to "see" ultrasounds: each of the 124 ultrasound sensors on the camera perceives incoming sounds with a slight shift of a fraction of a milliseconds. This allows the algorithms inside the camera to compute back the position of the sound source and to display it in real-time to the user. The principle is similar to antenna arrays used by astronomers or the military. Here, the device is hand-held and allows industrials to quickly spot faults such as gas leak in their installation, often comprising hundreds of kilometers of pipes and thousands of potentially leaky elements.
Beyond cost savings, this tool enables to increase industrial safety and decrease emission of green house gases.
