Original job description

Job Title: Engineering Technician

Job Description

The Engineering Technician will take ownership of prototype mechanical assembly and wire harness build-up on bots, subassemblies, and test assets from start to finish. This role requires working from drawings, BOMs, or verbal direction, often with evolving designs, ambiguity, and first-article quality issues. The technician will perform routine maintenance, repair, and rework on bots for in-house testing system and field-returned subassemblies, troubleshooting common electro-mechanical failures and escalating when necessary. Additionally, the technician will surface actionable build feedback to Design Engineering through a structured ticketing system, use machine and shop tools to cut, modify, and rework mechanical parts, and support validation and bring-up procedures on bot hardware under engineer direction.

Responsibilities

Own prototype mechanical assembly and wire harness build-up on bots, subassemblies, and test assets from start to finish.
Perform routine maintenance, repair, and rework on bots for in-house testing systems and field-returned subassemblies.
Troubleshoot common electro-mechanical failures and escalate issues that exceed scope.
Surface actionable build feedback to Design Engineering through a structured ticketing system.
Use machine and shop tools to cut, modify, and rework mechanical parts as required.
Support validation and bring-up procedures on bot hardware under engineer direction.
Contribute to a safe, clean, organized, and well-equipped lab and shop environment.
Support onboarding of future team members as the team scales.

Essential Skills

Proven experience with electro-mechanical hardware in prototype or fast-iterative environments.
Comfortable with mechanical assembly, fastener/torque selection, and shop tool use.
Ability to read and navigate drawings and 3D models, interpret metric/imperial tolerances, and identify revision deltas.
Solid harnessing fundamentals: wire soldering, connector crimping, cable management, and reading electrical schematics.
Ability to thrive on changing priorities and recover quickly from blocked builds.
Clear communication and constructive dissent, proactive updates, and precise questioning.
Comfortable in an industrial environment, consistently following PPE and shop safety practices.
Ability to operate independently on routine work using standard procedures and know when to escalate.
Genuine excitement about robotics and the build/break/fix/prototype cycle, with a desire to grow into more responsibility.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Experience with PCB soldering and board rework.
Comfort with terminal/SSH and command-line tools.
Experience operating manual mills, lathes, or other machine tools (Bridgeport experience a plus).
Onshape familiarity or comparable 3D CAD experience.
Exposure to PLM/ERP systems (Arena, NetSuite), ticketing and project management tools (Linear, JIRA), and dashboarding tools (Grafana).

Work Environment

This role operates in an industrial environment working on heavy equipment. The technician will consistently follow PPE and shop safety practices. The lab and shop environment is safe, clean, organized, and well-equipped, fostering a collaborative and innovative atmosphere.
