Electrical Engineering Technician

Our Mission
Our mission is to solve the most important and fundamental challenges in AI and Robotics to enable future generations of intelligent machines that will help us all live better lives.
We are searching for skilled technicians with a strong grasp of the fundamentals and experience working through the processes and rigor required to make world class robots. Join our cross-functional teams and develop the next generation of high performance and intelligent robotic systems. You will bring novel hardware products and processes to life, learn from world-renowned technologists, share your skills with others, and play with cool robots.
Responsibilities

• Assembly of robotic subsystems and modules, prototype printed circuit boards (PCBs), and complex cable harnesses
• Rework of surface mount and through hole components, including small components under a microscope, large components requiring preheat, and rework wire
• Debugging and triage of failures during initial bring-up and testing of robotic prototypes
• Participation in collaborative design reviews across teams to improve ease of assembly and maintenance of early concept prototypes
• Establishing clear and concise build documentation, and transferring build processes to external contract manufacturing partners for low volume production
• Maintaining a highly functional electrical lab space and training protocols

Requirements

• 5+ years of relevant professional experience
• Mastery of electromechanical assembly techniques including fine SMD rework, high flex cable harnesses, and assembly of mechanical assemblies with a variety of fasteners, pins, gears, and mating features
• Strong debugging and analysis skills to assist in the triage of new problems and failures in a range of domains (mechanical, communications, electronics)
• Hands-on experience operating lab instrumentation (oscilloscope, multimeter, logic analyzer, power supply, programmable load)

Bonus

• Experience with data acquisition modules or systems
• Experience with custom battery packs
• Experience with design best practices for rugged/field-deployable systems (including shock, vibe, dynamic flex, etc)
• Python scripting experience
• Associates degree in electronics technology, automotive technology, manufacturing or similar field
• Basic knowledge of Ethernet networking principles
• Comfort in a Linux environment with a working knowledge of common Linux utilities
