Senior Electromechanical Integration Specialist
Where: San Diego, CA | Pay: $35–$42/hour DOE | Schedule: Full-Time
Why This Role Matters
- Own the build, integration, test, and delivery readiness of complex systems like subsea thrusters and actuators.
- Work in a growing production environment where processes and documentation are rapidly maturing—your feedback shapes how we build.
- This is not repetitive assembly; it’s problem-solving, precision craftsmanship, and system-level thinking.
What You’ll Tackle
- Assemble multi-discipline electro-mechanical builds and complete system integrations
- Install mechanical hardware, route/terminate wiring and cabling, and fit components
- Handle motors, actuators, sensors, and connectors with best-practice workmanship
- Read/interpret drawings, schematics, and wiring diagrams to execute work accurately
- Run functional tests; verify and document performance
- Troubleshoot issues at electrical, mechanical, and system layers
- Conduct failure analysis; identify root cause and implement fixes with minimal supervision
- Perform rework, repair, adjustments, and modifications
- Collaborate directly with engineers to clear production roadblocks
- Highlight documentation, process, or design gaps and recommend improvements
- Steward assigned products through build, test, debug, and shipment readiness
Must-Haves
- 5+ years in an electro-mechanical technician role (preferred)
- Experience building/integrating/testing/troubleshooting full electro-mechanical equipment
- Mechanical aptitude plus demonstrated electrical/electronics troubleshooting ability
- Track record of independently diagnosing and resolving technical problems
- Hands-on experience with mechanical assemblies, wiring/terminations, motors, actuators, and sensors
- Ability to read mechanical drawings and electrical schematics
- Proficiency with electrical test gear and common mechanical measurement tools
- Comfort operating without step-by-step procedures and within evolving documentation
- High attention to detail and quality
Nice-to-Have Domains
Marine/subsea work is a bonus but not required. We love experience from:
- Robotics and automation
- Aerospace and defense
- Semiconductor equipment
- Industrial machinery
- Prototype and R&D environments
- Complex medical equipment
- Field service/equipment repair
- Other low-volume, high-complexity electro-mechanical products
How You’re Wired
People come to you when something won’t power up, pass test, or behave as designed. You enjoy chasing the fault, proving the fix, and delivering a system that works flawlessly.
