Assembly Technician – Robotics Perception Systems
About The Position
As an Assembly Technician for Perception & Compute Payloads, you will be a hands-on contributor responsible for assembling, integrating, and validating Field AIâs sensing and compute payloads. You will build electro-mechanical subsystems, integrate sensors and embedded compute platforms, perform harnessing and power system checks, support functional testing, and ensure every payload is field-ready and reliable. This role bridges mechanical assembly, electrical integration, and practical system-level debugging. You will support both prototype development and production workflows while working closely with engineers to improve build processes and increase system reliability.
Requirements
- 2+ years of hands-on technician experience in robotics, aerospace, electronics, automotive, or related electro-mechanical assembly environments.
- Proficiency with hand tools, power tools, torque drivers, and basic machine-shop tools.
- Ability to read and follow wiring diagrams, mechanical drawings, and assembly instructions.
- Experience building wire harnesses and working with low-voltage electrical systems.
- Familiarity with embedded compute systems, sensors, or robotics hardware.
- Strong attention to detail, documentation discipline, and ability to deliver reliable assemblies.
- Ability to lift up to 50 lbs. and work in workshop, lab, or field environments.
Nice To Haves
- Experience working with perception systems such as LiDAR, cameras, radar, or IMUs.
- Familiarity with Linux, ROS2, or embedded system bring-up workflows.
- Soldering, crimping, or IPC-certified workmanship skills.
- Understanding of thermal management, weather sealing, EMI/EMC basics, and ruggedized mechanical design.
- Experience supporting prototype builds, rapid iteration cycles, or field test deployments.
- Ability to design or suggest simple fixtures or jigs to improve assembly and repeatability.
- Experience assembling complex electro-mechanical systems, especially robotics, drones, or ruggedized field hardware.
