09/16/2026 Job Description Job Description This Person is responsible for assembling and refining pre-production robotic systems with a strong emphasis on engineering collaboration. Working from early-stage documentation, CAD models, wiring diagrams, and verbal direction, this role integrates mechanical, electrical, and control components into functional prototypes. Beyond assembly, this position plays an active role in Design for "x" (DFx) initiatives, providing real-time manufacturability, serviceability, and quality feedback to engineering teams. Key Responsibilities Interpret and work from CAD models, engineering drawings, wiring schematics, and assembly instructions to build robotic prototypes and subsystems. Assemble mechanical frames, integrate wiring harnesses, and install sensors, actuators, and control systems. Partner closely with mechanical, electrical, and manufacturing engineers to evaluate designs for manufacturability, assembly efficiency, cost reduction, and serviceability (DFx). Provide actionable feedback to improve part fit, alignment, accessibility, wiring routing, and overall build processes. Perform rework, modifications, and functional testing to support rapid design iterations. Document assembly processes, tooling requirements, and recommended design changes for future builds. Conduct functional and performance tests to validate subsystem and system-level integration. Maintain compliance with safety protocols when working with mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic systems. Contribute to continuous improvement of prototype build processes and DFx review practices. Core Competencies Execution - Delivers precise, functional assemblies on schedule, incorporating engineering feedback loops into the build process. Collaboration - Works as an extension of the engineering team, influencing design decisions through hands-on prototype assembly insights. Innovation - Proactively identifies and tests assembly process improvements, tooling options, and design refinements for DFx compliance. Adaptability - Rapidly adapts to evolving designs, emerging technologies, and shifting DFx priorities in a fast-paced robotics environment.
