Electronics Production and Repair Technician (m/w/d), Part-Time

KOMA Elektronik develops and manufactures electronic musical instruments in Berlin. We’re a small, independent team exploring unusual ways for people to interact with sound, with a relaxed working atmosphere, a shared enthusiasm for music electronics.

We’re looking for someone to help build our instruments. You’ll work closely with the people behind the products and help turn electronic components into instruments that inspire musicians around the world.

This is primarily a hands-on production role, involving assembly, soldering, testing and some routine repairs. We’ll teach you our products and processes, with the aim of having you organise and complete your assigned production batches independently once you’re familiar with the work. Our production lead will be there to help with questions and more complex technical issues.

We’re looking for someone to join us from November 2026, initially working two days per week, with the possibility of increasing to three days by mutual agreement. This is an ongoing part-time position at our Berlin workshop.

Tasks

• Assemble, solder, test and package our electronic musical instruments.
• Once familiar with our processes, organise and complete assigned production batches to agreed quantities and deadlines.
• Carry out quality checks, paying attention to both electronic performance and the finish of the completed product.
• Keep production and test records up to date, and help maintain clear assembly instructions.
• Record material usage, keep components organised and flag missing parts or production problems early.
• Carry out routine repairs, with support from our production lead for unfamiliar or more complex faults.
• Occasionally help with shipping orders and other practical workshop tasks.

Requirements

• Hands-on soldering experience, whether gained through employment, training or your own DIY projects.
• Familiarity with common electronics tools, including a multimeter, and a basic understanding of electronic components and circuit diagrams.
• A careful, reliable and methodical approach to practical work. You’re comfortable with repetitive assembly and testing, not just the exciting troubleshooting bits.
• The ability to organise your tasks, follow instructions, keep clear records and communicate when something is unclear or not going to plan.
• An interest in electronics and a willingness to learn our products and production processes.

Experience with SMD soldering and rework, electronics repairs, oscilloscopes or flashing microcontrollers is welcome, but you don’t need to arrive knowing everything. We’ll provide training in our product-specific procedures.

Relevant experience can come from a previous job, vocational training or personal projects. You don’t need a particular degree, and being a synthesizer expert is not a requirement.

Benefits

• A paid 30-minute lunch break, which we spend together as a team.
• Hands-on training in our instruments, assembly processes, testing and routine repairs.
• A relaxed workshop atmosphere and direct collaboration with the people who develop the products.
• Office dog and plenty of opportunities to talk about music, electronics and whatever you’re currently building.

We’d love to hear about something you’ve built, soldered or repaired. Photos, links or a short description of a DIY project or previous work are very welcome.

You don’t need a perfectly polished CV or a long cover letter. Tell us a little about yourself, your practical experience, when you could start and which days you would be available.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys hands-on work, takes care with the details and communicates well with a small team. You don’t need to know everything already, but you should enjoy learning how things work and getting them built properly.
