About the role

Contract Robotics Lab Technician role focused on designing, building, and integrating robotic systems for the development lab. Includes CAD design, 3D printing, assembly, wiring, and bringing up sensors and control components in a fast-paced in-lab environment.

Responsibilities

  • Design parts, mounts, fixtures, and adapters in CAD to integrate off-the-shelf robotic components
  • Take measurements, iterate on fit and function, and produce parts via 3D printing and light fabrication
  • Assemble and integrate robotic hardware from your own designs or engineering drawings
  • Wire and mount sensors, actuators, and control components, including cable routing and connector termination
  • Configure motor controllers, I/O, and sensor interfaces, and debug basic control issues alongside engineers
  • Install, calibrate, and troubleshoot robotics sensors and subsystems during bring-up and integration
  • Maintain and upgrade lab robots, document builds and fixes, and keep the lab safe and organized

Qualifications

  • Hands-on experience working on or around robots, such as arms or mobile bases, with a practical understanding of how they function
  • Solid working ability in CAD (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or similar), able to design parts from scratch
  • Comfortable taking measurements, iterating on fit and function, and producing parts via 3D printing
  • Familiarity with common robotics sensors (cameras, lidars, or similar), including installation, wiring, and basic troubleshooting
  • Basic hands-on electrical skills: wiring, soldering or crimping, using a multimeter, reading simple schematics
  • Practical, adaptable problem-solver who is comfortable in a fast-moving, hands-on lab environment
  • Good communicator who can work closely with engineers across mechanical, electrical, and software domains
