About the role

Mechatronics Technician to develop systems and processes ensuring quality, reliability, and performance across robotics and autonomous platforms. Hands-on work with aerial, ground, and integrated hardware systems—building prototypes, fabricating test setups, and supporting manufacturing workflows. Collaborates with Electrical, Mechanical, and Firmware Engineers to accelerate prototyping and lay foundation for scalable production.

Responsibilities

  • Build and test prototypes, sub-assemblies, and feasibility units under engineering guidance.
  • Interpret schematics, diagrams, and layouts to perform testing, checkout, troubleshooting, and rework of PCBAs and harnesses.
  • Fabricate custom test equipment, boxes, and harnesses; procure and source components as needed.
  • Operate and set up standard test equipment (oscilloscopes, analyzers, supplies, DMMs) and perform PCBA/cable rework to IPC standards.
  • Adapt plans quickly in a fast-paced environment with evolving goals.

Qualifications

  • 3+ years’ experience as an engineering technician in a prototype or development lab.
  • Strong ability to read/interpret PCBA schematics, cable drawings, and test procedures independently.
  • Experience with prototype electro-mechanical hardware (PCBAs, cables, harnesses, robotic/vehicle systems).
  • Hands-on skills: soldering, crimping, rework, cable assembly to IPC standards; familiarity with electrical components, connectors, tools, and test equipment.
  • Solid grasp of fundamental electrical engineering concepts.
