About the role

Hands-on Electrical Engineering Technician in Meta Robotics Studio acting as the bench-level bridge between engineering intent and validated hardware. Build, wire, and operate test platforms and harnesses; perform assembly, soldering, testing, and data capture to support robotic electrical systems validation in a fast-paced, high-ambiguity environment.

Responsibilities

  • Test Execution: Set up and run functional, power-on, and system-level tests on robotic electrical hardware following documented procedures and acceptance criteria
  • Bench & Fixture Build: Assemble, wire, and maintain test benches, fixtures, and device-under-test (DUT) interfaces that replicate robot subsystems for continuous, 24/7 testing
  • Soldering & Rework: Perform through-hole and SMD soldering, board rework, and component-level repair on PCBAs and prototype hardware
  • Cable & Harness Assembly: Fabricate and terminate cable harnesses and interconnects — crimping, connectorization, and continuity verification against wiring diagrams
  • Integration Support: Install and integrate PCBAs, sensors, actuators, power distribution, and communication buses (EtherCAT, CAN, SPI, UART, Ethernet) into test setups
  • Instrumentation & Data: Operate standard bench instrumentation (oscilloscopes, logic/protocol analyzers, DMMs, LCR meters, power supplies, electronic loads) and data acquisition systems; log, organize, and report test data and anomalies
  • Basic Debug: Assist engineers with first-level troubleshooting and root-cause isolation of electrical and electromechanical issues, escalating complex faults with clear documentation
  • Documentation & SOPs: Create and maintain assembly instructions, test procedures, and maintenance logs to ensure repeatable processes and compliance with safety standards
  • Lab & Safety: Maintain high standards for lab safety, tool organization, consumable stocking, and equipment readiness
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with electrical, firmware, software, and manufacturing engineers to provide feedback on testability, assembly issues, and hardware refinements

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in electrical/electronic hardware test, integration, assembly, or production (robotics, consumer electronics, automotive, or aerospace preferred)
  • Proficiency in soldering and rework (through-hole and SMD) and component-level repair
  • Experience fabricating and terminating cable harnesses and connectors (crimping, connectorization)
  • Ability to read and interpret schematics and wiring diagrams
  • Hands-on experience with standard bench instrumentation (oscilloscope, DMM, LCR, power supply, electronic load) and data acquisition systems
  • Experience executing documented test procedures and capturing/reporting test data
  • Strong technical writing and documentation skills
  • Experience prioritizing competing tasks and adapting to evolving requirements in hardware development or test environments
