About The Position
We’re a fast-paced, hardware-heavy team that thrives on solving tough mechanical and electrical challenges in the real world. Whether it’s a testbed on the bench or a robot being deployed on a fishing vessel, we believe in building things that work — and fixing them fast when they don’t.
Requirements
- 2+ years of hands-on technician or manufacturing experience
- Strong mechanical aptitude and familiarity with hand tools, power tools, and light fabrication
- Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings, wiring schematics, and harness diagrams
- Experience with electro-mechanical assemblies including PCBAs, motors, actuators, and sensors
- Comfortable in a fast-paced R&D environment with evolving requirements
- Attention to detail and a proactive, self-starting mindset
- Comfort switching between mechanical assembly, electrical troubleshooting, and basic plumbing — you may help an engineer debug a PCB one day, then route a harness or integrate a subsystem the next
Nice To Haves
- Industrial crimping tools, D-sub and circular connectors
- Low-voltage electrical systems and safe troubleshooting practices
- Test setups involving pumps, valves, or pneumatics
- Basic Linux command line or Python scripting
- Supporting prototype bring-up or field deployments
Responsibilities
- Support the build, integration, debugging, and testing of robotic subsystems, production hardware, and test fixtures
- Work closely with mechanical, electrical, and software engineers to bring prototypes to life, maintain hardware, and support field deployments
- Assist with assembly of actuators, structure, and fluid systems
- Perform harness builds, rework, and routing for development and production systems
- Troubleshoot electro-mechanical assemblies and support root-cause investigations
- Assist with hardware-in-the-loop test systems setup and maintenance
- Support engineers during prototype bring-up including mechanical assembly, electrical wiring, and basic plumbing
