About The Position

We’re seeking an execution-driven Robotics Assembly Technician to support the hands-on assembly, integration, and testing of our humanoid robot’s electrical and mechanical systems. In this role, you will work closely with engineers and cross-functional teams to assemble, wire, inspect, rework, and document prototype and production hardware across subsystems including actuators, sensors, power systems, cable routing, and structural assemblies. This role is ideal for a technician with 5+ years of experience building complex electromechanical systems, with strong assembly skills, attention to detail, and a collaborative approach to development from prototype through production.

Requirements

5+ years of experience in a robotics, electromechanical assembly, or manufacturing technician role.
Strong hands-on experience with mechanical assembly, electrical wiring, soldering, cable/harness fabrication, and rework.
Comfortable using common lab and shop tools, precision measurement equipment, and torque-controlled tools.
Ability to read and interpret schematics, CAD drawings, work instructions, BOMs, and assembly documentation.
Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills in a fast-paced development environment.

Nice To Haves

Experience assembling robotic systems, preferably humanoid and/or manipulation robots.
Experience with prototype builds, low-volume production, and transition to manufacturing.

Responsibilities

Build, assemble, wire, inspect, and rework robotic and electromechanical subsystems according to drawings, work instructions, and quality standards.
Support system integration, bring-up, basic functional testing, and troubleshooting across electrical and mechanical systems.
Execute assembly and inspection procedures, document results, and help maintain fixtures, tools, and build documentation.
Fabricate and route cable harnesses, install components, perform fit checks, and complete mechanical adjustments and rework.
Partner with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to resolve build issues and improve assembly quality and repeatability.
