Assembly Technician

Weave Robotics • San Francisco, CA

82d • $85,000 - $100,000

About The Position

At Weave, the Assembly Technician will build, inspect, and validate robots. This role involves working from engineering drawings, work instructions, and build documentation to assemble complex electromechanical systems with high standards of quality and attention to detail. The technician will collaborate with manufacturing, mechanical, electrical, and robotics engineers to enhance assembly processes, identify design issues, and support the transition from prototypes to scalable production. This is a hands-on position for individuals who take pride in building high-quality, innovative hardware. The role includes two tracks: mechanical assembly and electrical assembly (wire harness fabrication to IPC/WHMA-A-620, continuity and hipot checkout).

Requirements

• 2+ years' experience assembling precision electromechanical products such as robots, consumer electronics, medical devices, vehicles, drones, aerospace systems, or similar hardware.
• Comfortable working with hand tools, torque drivers, fasteners, adhesives, wiring, and precision mechanical assemblies.
• Experience and aptitude for identifying bottlenecks, reducing defects, and improving manufacturing efficiency.
• Crimp and termination discipline, IPC-A-620 familiarity (certification welcome, demonstrated workmanship counts just as much), and comfort with multimeters and continuity/hipot testers (electrical track).
• Comfort working closely with engineers, technicians, and manufacturing specialists in a fast-paced startup environment.

Nice To Haves

• IPC/WHMA-A-620 certification

Responsibilities

• Build complex electromechanical assemblies, mechanical structures, wiring harnesses, sensors, actuators, and other precision components, verifying they meet mechanical, electrical, and cosmetic quality requirements.
• Contribute to prototype, pilot, and production builds while maintaining high quality and efficiency.
• Assist with basic power-on, calibration, functional testing, and validation of completed robots.
• Work closely with engineers to refine assembly methods, validate new designs, and continuously improve the manufacturing process.
• Build wire harnesses and electrical assemblies to IPC/WHMA-A-620 quality levels, including cutting, crimping, routing, terminating, and soldering, with continuity and hipot checkout documented per serial number (electrical track).
• Ensure assembly equipment, tools, and workstations remain organized, calibrated, and production-ready.
