Engineering Technician

1X • Hayward, CA

18h • $30 - $50 • Onsite

About The Position

We're building humanoid robots that work in home - doing the chores, handling the tasks, and giving people their time back. 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. 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 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 Manufacturing Engineering team is the bridge between design and reality - turning robots that work in the lab into robots that ship at scale. Every NEO that leaves our floor passes through the processes, fixtures, and standards this team builds. Without us, there's no product in customers' homes.

To create an abundant supply of physical labor through safe, intelligent humanoids, we need to manufacture them reliably, repeatably, and at volume. As a Manufacturing Engineering Technician, you are on the production floor making that happen - dialing in mechanical and electrical assembly processes, validating wire harnesses, troubleshooting the issues that would otherwise stop the line, and turning engineering intent into builds that hold up in the real world. The cleaner and more capable our manufacturing process, the faster NEO gets into homes.

Requirements

• Hands-on experience in manufacturing, assembly, machining, or wire harness production
• Experience troubleshooting mechanical and/or electrical production issues
• Comfort interpreting work instructions, technical drawings, and build documentation
• Working knowledge of crimping, connector assembly, harness routing, or precision mechanical assembly
• Experience performing inspections, in-process verification, or production testing (continuity, isolation, hipot, or functional testing ideal but not a deal breaker)

Nice To Haves

• Experience supporting new product introduction (NPI) or production ramp environments
• Familiarity with SPC, yield tracking, and basic data analysis tools
• Exposure to robotics, automation cells, or automotive/aerospace harness manufacturing
• Experience supporting ECO implementation and first article inspections
• Background working alongside design and quality engineering on root cause investigations

Responsibilities

• Stand up and sustain manufacturing processes for mechanical assemblies, machined components, and wire harnesses that meet quality, yield, and cycle time targets
• Drive measurable improvements in scrap, rework, first-pass yield, and throughput through hands-on troubleshooting and SPC-driven analysis
• Validate engineering changes through first article inspections and pilot builds, ensuring revisions reach production without disrupting flow
• Maintain fixtures, harness boards, automated cells, and test stations so production never stops for preventable equipment issues
• Own root cause investigations on production failures and close them out with corrective actions that stick

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
