Description

Great ideas sometimes come from singular inspiration, but more often they’re a result of collaborative effort. Inside Garmin, we like to foster an environment of participation and engagement. We support professional development, offer well-designed career paths and adhere to a policy that prioritizes promoting from within the company to maximize the opportunities for our associates. We are also committed to being a good corporate citizen and providing opportunities for associates to contribute toward a healthy, sustainable world.

Our Engineering Technicians are the jack of all trades. They layout, build, test, troubleshoot, repair, modify and more – talk about a new adventure every day! Our technicians assist our design engineers in developing and testing new circuits while also performing electrical circuit prototyping, breadboard construction and troubleshooting. When not “doing” something, they’re writing reports, maintaining project files, recommending improvements and, oh, so much more.
