Role: Technician 2 - Reliability Team

Job Summary:

Design, build, and operate test systems that validate the mechanical and electrical performanceof robotic subsystems. The role will require direct collaboration with hardware design engineersto generate the data that drives design decisions. The role is primarily mechanical (75%) withsome electrical skillsets required (25%).

Responsibilities:

• Build and maintain test fixtures - mechanical and electrical assembly of test beds andtest fixtures, assisting controls engineers with commissioning, bringing tests online andadministering test bed maintenance throughout test life.
• Assist in troubleshooting electromechanical issues - assist test engineers and hardwaredesigners in diagnosing failures in robotic systems and test bed components includingmotors, actuators, cable assemblies, control circuits and more.
• Read and work from engineering drawings - aptitude in mechanical (GD&T tolerances) and electrical schematics and wiring diagrams. Capability of using drawings to build real world components, fixtures, wiring basic wiring, and ability to perform quality control specs on mechanical components and basic wiring troubleshooting.
• Perform hands-on mechanical work Create components, construct test beds and wirecontrol systems and components. Modify and make components through basicmachining (mill, lathe basics), fastener installation, alignment, fit-and-finish on prototype
  hardware. Knowledge of fabrication methods (sheet metal, 3D printing, laser-cut etc.) orinterest in learning about fabrication methods will be required to fill this role.
• Electrical fabrication, installation & troubleshooting create wire harnesses via directsoldering or connectors from raw wire or cable stock. Terminate motors, drives, PLCs ormicrocontrollers. Wire basic power distribution. Use a multimeter to perform electricaltroubleshooting and collecting baseline data for tests.
• Collect, organize, and present data maintain test logs, flag anomalies, report findingsto test owners and design team members and participate in team meetings to bettersolidify findings, decide on next steps and share learnings across the team.

Qualifications:

• 13 years hands-on electromechanical experience (robotics, automation, aerospace,automotive, or manufacturing R&D environments preferred, automation, panel shopetc.)
• Proven ability to independently build real world components from drawings and providefeedback to designers and engineers based on those drawings.
• Electrical fundamentals basic electrical knowledge AC circuits and common usage, familiarity with low voltage DCV control circuits, terminate wires, crimp cables.
• Solid mechanical fundamentals can read a print, hold tolerance on a manual machine,select a bearing/fastener/seal appropriately, familiarity with torque tools andmechanical best practices.
• Comfort with ambiguity R&D means the procedure doesn't exist yet; you help createit.

Nice-to-Have:

• Experience with robotic arms, end-effectors, or high-cycle-count electromechanicalassemblies.
• Familiarity with reliability/life testing concepts (Weibull, MTBF, accelerated testmethodology).
• CAD proficiency (SolidWorks preferred) beyond just reading ability to model simplefixtures.
• Basic programming or scripting is a plus (Python, LabVIEW, PLC ladder logic) but notrequired willingness to learn is.

Benefits:

• Employer pays 50% premiums of Health/ Dental/ Vision Insurance for employee and dependents
• Access to supplemental plans such as GAP, Disability, Accident, Whole Life, Identity Protection & more
• Paid leave and paid holidays
• 401(k) matching (up to 4%)
• Educational Reimbursement
• Supportive environment & company hosted events
