Type:

full-time Robotics Technician The Mission GRAM is a self replication company creating populations of insectoids for the physical economy. Our first research frontier is self-preservation: the base case of physical self-replication. Our machines will survive, coordinate, and recover without humans. We believe scalable machine labor requires more than single-agent task generality or machines shaped in our image. About the role You will build, wire, instrument, inspect, rework, service, and test insectoids and their subsystems. You will turn engineering releases into physical hardware, identify discrepancies before they become ambiguous machine failures, and maintain records connecting every test result to the actual article on the floor. You will execute controlled work across fasteners, connectors, harnesses, bearings, sensors, adhesives, and calibration artifacts; surface defects quickly; and use measurements and documented discrepancies to restore the required build condition and improve product and process. What you will do

• Assemble mechanical and electromechanical subsystems from drawings, bills of material, schematics, work instructions, torque requirements, and controlled revisions.
• Fabricate, route, terminate, label, inspect, and test wiring harnesses, connectors, sensor leads, and low-voltage power or communication assemblies.
• Install instrumentation and operate multimeters, oscilloscopes, bench supplies, torque tools, force or displacement sensors, data-acquisition equipment, and dimensional inspection tools.
• Perform subsystem checkout, continuity and insulation checks, leak or motion checks where applicable, calibration support, functional test, and machine bring-up under approved procedures.
• Diagnose build and service discrepancies using direct inspection, measurements, drawings, schematics, logs, and known-good comparisons; escalate beyond technician authority.
• Execute approved rework, repair, maintenance, and part replacement, then verify the restored condition through documented inspection and retest.
• Maintain build travelers, serial and lot traceability, tool and equipment status, configuration records, discrepancy reports, photographs, test results, and as-built feedback. Minimum qualifications
• Professional experience assembling, testing, maintaining, or servicing complex electromechanical hardware whose work was accepted against documented requirements.
• Built or serviced complex electromechanical hardware from controlled mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, bills of material, and written procedures.
• Demonstrated proficiency in mechanical assembly and electrical workmanship, including torque-controlled fastening, connector assembly, crimping, soldering, wire identification, continuity testing, and visual inspection.
• Used measurement and diagnostic equipment such as calipers, micrometers, multimeters, oscilloscopes, bench power supplies, torque tools, or data-acquisition systems to accept or troubleshoot hardware.
• Documented a nonconformance or build discrepancy, executed or supported controlled corrective work, and verified closure through inspection or functional retest. Preferred experience
• Robotics, aerospace, automotive, medical-device, industrial-automation, or other low-volume complex hardware.
• Motor, gearbox, bearing, sensor, PCB, harness, battery, pneumatic, vacuum, adhesive, or precision-mechanism assembly and test.
• Prototype bring-up, environmental or lifecycle testing, machine-shop coordination, calibration systems, or configuration-controlled service work.

Additional requirements This role requires regular movement around a robotics workspace and sustained hands-on work with tools, fixtures, test equipment, and powered electromechanical systems. You must follow required workspace controls, lockout or de-energization procedures, and personal protective equipment requirements. The hourly wage range for this Palo Alto position is $40.00
