ABOUT THE ROLE 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. YOU’LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR: - 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 YOU MIGHT THRIVE IN THIS ROLE IF YOU: - Have hands-on experience with mechanical assembly or hardware builds - Have some exposure to basic electrical work (wiring, connectors, harnesses) - Are detail-oriented and take pride in clean, precise work - Are 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 - Are reliable, consistent, and move with urgency - En
