About The Position

This is a hands-on, execution-driven role at the center of building our robots. As an Engineering Technician, you’ll be responsible for turning parts into working systems — quickly, precisely, and reliably. You’ll help ensure builds are clean, repeatable, and scalable. In practice, you’ll assemble mechanical systems, perform basic electrical work (wiring, connectors, simple integrations), run checks, catch issues early, and help improve how we build. If something is off — misaligned parts, loose connections, unclear instructions, inefficiencies in the process — you fix it or flag it. This role is about making sure our robots come together correctly, every time. Growth & Impact As we scale, this role grows with the complexity and volume of our builds. You’ll have the opportunity to take on more ownership across build processes, quality systems, and production workflows — helping shape how our robots are assembled at scale. If you want to work hands-on with cutting-edge robotics and be directly responsible for bringing systems to life, this role has real impact.

Requirements

Hands-on experience with mechanical assembly or hardware builds
Some exposure to basic electrical work (wiring, connectors, harnesses)
Detail-oriented and take pride in clean, precise work
Comfortable using tools and working with physical systems
Catch problems early and don’t ignore small issues
Like working with your hands and seeing tangible results
Can follow structured processes but also improve them
Reliable, consistent, and move with urgency
Enjoy being part of a fast-moving, build-heavy environment
Like being the person who makes things actually come together

Responsibilities

Assembling mechanical components into fully functioning robotic systems
Performing basic electrical work (routing wires, connecting components, installing connectors)
Reading and executing build instructions with high accuracy
Using hand tools, power tools, and specialized equipment to perform precise assembly work
Inspecting and testing assemblies to ensure quality and functionality
Identifying defects, misalignments, or inconsistencies and escalating quickly
Following SOPs, safety standards, and best practices during all builds
Maintaining a clean, organized, and efficient workspace
Collaborating with engineers and teammates to hit build timelines
Contributing to process improvements to make builds faster and more reliable
