About The Position

We’re building humanoid robots that work in home - doing the chores, handling the tasks, and giving people their time back. Simple, but it’s not. To do this right, we have to solve robotics, AI, manufacturing - at the same time, at scale, in a form factor that has to be safe enough to live with your family. If you’re inspired by this, you’ll thrive here. We’ve been at this since 2014 and we’re at the point where the hard problems are behind us and the hard work is in front of us. NEO is our flagship - a home robot designed to move, learn, and operate in the real world alongside real people. We’re not demoing it - we’re shipping it. We’re excited to meet you, if this excites you. If you’ve been at this since 2014 and we’re at the point where the hard problems are behind us and the hard work is in front of us.

We’re excited to meet you, if this excites you. If you’ve spent your career working on problems that matter and want to see them actually reach the world - this is that moment. We’re scaling, we’re hiring with intention, and we need people who want to build something that will genuinely change how humans spend their time - safely creating abundance for all. The Harnessing team sits at the heart of bringing NEO to life - every wire we route and every connection we make is what lets the robot sense, move, and act safely in someone’s home. We’re a hands-on group that takes real pride in craftsmanship, because the quality of our work is felt in every robot that ships. If you want your work to directly shape a product that lives alongside families, this is where it happens.

Requirements

• High school diploma or equivalent, with 2–3+ years of direct experience in wire harness fabrication and assembly.
• Proven ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and assembly drawings.
• Proficiency with hand tools (crimpers, strippers, heat guns) and measurement tools (multimeter).
• IPC-620 certification.
• Strong soldering skills and solid troubleshooting ability to diagnose open/short circuits and connection issues (J-STD-001 is ideal but not a deal breaker).

Nice To Haves

• Associate’s degree in Electrical Engineering Technology, Electronics, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Understanding of basic electrical principles (voltage, current, resistance, Ohm’s Law) and familiarity with components (resistors, capacitors, diodes) and their schematic symbols.
• Awareness of signal types (digital, analog, power) and shielding/grounding concepts.
• Experience with harness board (breakout board) design or layout, and basic CAD for viewing drawings.
• Familiarity with IPC-7711 / 7722 rework standards.

Responsibilities

• Deliver wire harnesses and cable assemblies that consistently meet IPC-620 acceptance criteria, with first-pass yield held to a high, measurable standard.
• Own continuity and fault-isolation testing on completed harnesses so that defects are caught and resolved before assemblies move downstream.
• Support a mix of work that changes day to day - most often building harnesses for prototype testing, and at times assembly and rework for production - and shift gears smoothly between the two.
• Perform on-bot reworks and on-bot debugging with confidence, isolating and resolving issues directly on the robot.
• Reduce build and rework time on recurring harness builds by improving process, fixturing, and documentation alongside engineering.
• Maintain accurate, traceable records of work performed, surfacing design and process issues early enough to influence design-for-manufacturability decisions.
• Work independently with minimal hand-holding, taking verbal direction well and running with it to keep the workspace safe, organized, and audit-ready.

Benefits

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Generous paid time off, company holidays, and parental leave
• 401(k) plan with company match (100% on the first 3% of contributions, 50% on the next 2%)
• Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA) options
• Commuter benefits (transit and parking)
• Short-term and long-term disability, and life insurance
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for mental health, financial, and personal support
• Onsite snacks and catered lunches
