Technician

In This Role

You will work closely with our hardware team to ensure high-quality, repeatable production of our actuators and robot systems. You will help make the hardware and process better through your feedback.

• Mechanical Assembly, Manufacturing & Build Execution: You will be responsible for the mechanical build, assembly, and manufacturing steps of our robot systems

• Fabrication & Prototyping Support: You will help produce custom parts (fixtures, jigs, and production parts) using manufacturing machines and 3D printers and feedback ways to improve/streamline the process.

• In-Process Quality Control: You will perform systematic in-process QC against our quality metrics and log results to keep production traceable.

• Machine Uptime and Maintenance: You will own the upkeep of our core machines and perform routine servicing, calibration and troubleshooting.

• You will help grow the workshop itself: improving layout, tooling, and workflows as we scale.
  

What We're Looking For

• Technical Skills: Hands-on mechanical assembly, comfort with workshop tools (calipers, soldering irons, power drills), 3D printing, and basic machine operation.

• Technical Background: A relevant trade qualification (e.g., Polymechanic, Automation Technician, Electronics Technician, or similar apprenticeship) or equivalent hands-on experience in mechanical assembly, mechatronics, or electrical systems in a professional setting.

• Problem Solving: The ability to troubleshoot hardware issues independently and critically analyze your own work to find improvements.

• Reads engineering drawings fluently and works independently from written instructions

• Attention to Detail: A preference for an organized, functional workspace and a systematic approach to technical tasks.

• Fluent in English or in German but with at least basic English skills (A2/B1) and a willingness to learn (we are an international team)
