Standard Bots•Philadelphia, PA

21h•$60,000 - $100,000•Onsite

About The Position

As a Technician on the Implementation team, you are the hands-on builder behind Standard Bots' integrated turn-key systems. You'll assemble and wire robotic cells in our shop, travel to customer sites to support machine installations alongside Automation Engineers, and serve as the first point of contact when deployed systems need attention. You're equally at home at a workbench wiring an electrical panel as you are on a factory floor aligning a robot installation. You take pride in clean work, follow safety procedures without being told, and communicate clearly when something doesn't look right.

Requirements

1–3 years of hands-on experience in electrical or mechanical assembly, industrial installation, or field service
Demonstrated ability to read and work from wiring schematics, mechanical drawings, and BOMs
Experience working in a manufacturing, fabrication, or hands-on technical environment
Proficiency in wire termination, panel wiring, and reading electrical schematics
Mechanical assembly skills: hand tools, power tools, fastener torque, and basic fixture alignment
Ability to interpret BOMs, wiring diagrams, and assembly drawings accurately
Basic troubleshooting with a multimeter and standard test equipment
Comfortable using computers for logging support tickets, updating documentation, and coordinating remote troubleshooting
Hands-on and self-motivated: you take ownership of your work and your workspace
Comfortable working independently in the shop and at customer sites; willing to travel
Clear communicator: you document your work accurately, flag issues early, and loop in the right people
Safety-conscious: you follow procedures, use PPE, and look out for your teammates

Nice To Haves

Experience with robot systems, cobots, or industrial automation equipment
OSHA 10 course or equivalent safety training
Electrical apprenticeship, vocational training, or associate's degree in an electromechanical field
Experience with pneumatic systems and component installation
Familiarity with reading and interpreting 2D CAD or SolidWorks drawings
Willingness to travel for customer site installations (estimated 25–50% travel)

Responsibilities

Assemble robotic automation cells from mechanical drawings and BOMs (bill of materials), including frame assembly, fixture mounting, and component installation
Wire electrical panels, junction boxes, and field devices per engineering schematics and NEC standards
Route cable, conduit, and pneumatic lines within automation cells to drawing specifications
Perform pre-ship checks: continuity testing, sensor verification, and documentation of as-built deviations
Travel to customer sites to install robotic automation systems alongside Automation Engineers
Coordinate equipment rigging, anchoring, and utility connections with customer facilities teams
Commission mechanical and electrical systems on-site: equipment integration, alignment, cable dressing, and sensor setup
Support FAT/SAT processes and work through installation punch lists to closure
Serve as the primary first responder for customer support requests during warranty and post-deployment periods
Diagnose and resolve mechanical and electrical issues remotely or on-site; escalate software-level issues to Automation Engineers with clear documentation
Log support cases, capture symptoms and steps taken, and follow through until issues are resolved
Contribute field observations back to engineering to help prevent recurring issues
Maintain shop workspaces, inventory, and tooling in clean, organized condition
Complete build records and update drawings with as-built changes
Support the development and refinement of build procedures, wiring standards, and installation checklists
