We are seeking skilled Electromechanical Build Technicians to execute build campaigns for products under development. In this role, you will assemble products, performing mechanical and electrical integration, preparing assemblies for end-of-line testing, and collaborating closely with design and manufacturing engineers. This is a hands-on role for builders who take pride in craftsmanship and thrive in a fast-paced environment where designs evolve rapidly.
Key Responsibilities
Build Campaign Execution
Execute build campaigns for subassemblies and full system integration across multiple products.
Perform mechanical and electrical assemblies
Complete final integration of subassemblies into full systems.
Interpret engineering drawings, 3D CAD models, wiring schematics, and assembly work instructions to build products to design intent
Support the varying development builds and maintain quality and throughput targets
Track build progress against production schedule, flag parts shortages or design issues, and communicate status to production leadership
Testing & Quality
Prepare assemblies and subassemblies for end-of-line (EoL) functional testing and performance characterization
Prepare completed robot assemblies for system-level testing and safety validation
Perform in-process quality inspections during assembly: verify fit, alignment, torque specifications, electrical continuity, and connector seating
Conduct dimensional checks using hand tools (calipers, micrometers, height gauges, go/no-go gauges, torque wrenches)
Document build deviations, non-conformances, and quality incidents per established procedures
Support firmware and software integration by verifying hardware readiness and cable/connector integrity prior to software loading
Collaboration & Continuous Improvement
Collaborate directly with mechanical, electrical, and systems engineers throughout the build process
Provide design-for-assembly (DFA) feedback to engineering, identifying opportunities to simplify builds, reduce cycle time, or improve reliability
Work with production planners and material handlers to ensure parts kitting and staging support build schedules
Contribute to the development and refinement of assembly work instructions, process documentation, and standard operating procedures
Maintain organized workstations, tools, and build areas following 5S principles
Support multiple concurrent build programs as product lines evolve
Participate in build readiness reviews and after-action reviews to capture lessons learned
Basic Qualifications
High school diploma or equivalent
3+ years of hands-on experience in mechanical and/or electrical assembly of prototype or low-volume hardware products
Experience with precision mechanical & Electrical assembly
Familiarity with common assembly tools: torque wrenches (calibrated), crimpers, soldering irons, hand tools, power tools, pneumatic tools
Ability to work in an engineering and production environment with build rate targets and quality standards
Preferred Qualifications
Associate degree or technical certification in electromechanical technology, mechatronics, robotics, or related field
Proficiency reading and interpreting mechanical drawings, wiring diagrams, and 3D CAD models
5+ years of experience in robotics, aerospace, automotive, or consumer electronics prototyping/pre-production environments
Experience assembling actuator systems: motors, gearboxes, encoders, brakes, and related drive components
Experience assembling articulated multi-axis robotic systems or similar complex electromechanical products
Familiarity with GD&T and basic metrology tools; CMM or 3D scanner experience a plus
Experience working in low-rate initial production (LRIP) environments with ramp-up targets
Track record of working collaboratively with cross-functional engineering teams in a fast-paced development environment
Compensation: $32
