Build Specialist

As a Build Specialist, you'll be a core member of the hardware team, assembling, testing, and troubleshooting robots and related electro-mechanical assemblies. You'll work closely with engineers to turn evolving designs into reliable, buildable hardware.

Requirements

• Assemble electro-mechanical subassemblies and full robots from drawings, 3D models, work instructions, or direction from engineers.
• Perform wiring and harness routing (crimping, pinning, labeling, strain relief) as part of the overall system build.
• Run bring-up and functional tests (continuity checks, power-on, basic motion and sensor checks) and clearly document results.
• Troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, and system-level issues together with engineers and help drive to root cause.
• Provide design-for-manufacturing (DFM) and process feedback on parts, assemblies, and work instructions to improve build speed, yield, and robustness.
• Contribute to and refine build documentation: work instructions, torque specs, checklists, and test procedures.
• Occasionally support reliability or longer-duration testing
• Help maintain an organized, safe, and efficient lab (tools, inventory, ESD practices, general 5S mindset).
