About the role

Hands-on role in building, wiring, and calibrating early prototype units; collaborates with mechanical, electrical, and manufacturing engineers to bring up prototypes and feed build experience back into designs.

Responsibilities

  • Build, assemble, and calibrate prototype and early-production units — including mechanical assembly, wiring and harnessing, fastening, and subsystem integration
  • Surface assembly issues, fit problems, and DFA/DFM feedback that informs the next design revision
  • Develop and refine assembly work instructions (SWIs) as processes are established for the first time
  • Troubleshoot build issues alongside the engineering team and contribute to real-time problem solving
  • Optionally grow into BOM and build-system work (OpenBOM, version control) based on interest

Qualifications

  • Hands-on assembly experience with complex electromechanical hardware — robotics, EVs, aerospace, medical devices, or similar; no degree required
  • Comfort with ambiguity and incomplete documentation in a fast-moving R&D environment
  • Strong generalist skill set across torque/fastening, wiring and harnessing, soldering, reading CAD and GD&T, and basic electrical troubleshooting
  • Genuine curiosity about how things go together and the communication skills to give engineers actionable feedback
