Job summary

ADRobotics is seeking a Senior Assembly Technician to lead advanced mechanical, electrical, and electronics assembly on the production line. You will train Junior Assembly Technicians, sign off their work, and ensure quality through in-depth checks under the supervision of the Production Lead and Manufacturing Engineering.

You will apply hands-on skills, read engineering drawings and wiring diagrams, and mentor teams to achieve safe, efficient, and accurate builds in a fast-paced, early-stage

Qualifications

• 5+ years of production/assembly-line experience, including mechanical, electrical, and electronics assembly.
• Demonstrated experience training, mentoring, or informally leading junior technicians on the floor.
• Strong familiarity with hand and power tools, and working knowledge of basic electrical/electronics assembly (wiring, connectors, crimping) and ESD handling procedures.
• Excellent manual dexterity and attention to detail, with the ability to diagnose and describe assembly defects clearly.
• Ability to read and work from engineering drawings, wiring diagrams, and detailed work instructions.
• Ability to lift 25-35 lbs and stand, bend, and perform repetitive motions.
• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, early-stage, or scaling business environment, and patient enough to coach less experienced technicians.

Responsibilities

• Assemble and troubleshoot complex mechanical, electrical, and electronics subassemblies per standard work instructions, BOMs, and engineering drawings, including build steps too complex or sensitive for junior technicians.
• Train, mentor, and sign off Junior Assembly Technicians ('runners') on standard work, tool use, ESD handling, and quality checks; act as first point of escalation for their build questions.
• Perform in-depth visual, functional, and electrical checks (e.g., wiring/connector verification, basic continuity/function checks) to confirm build quality beyond basic visual inspection.
• Identify and diagnose assembly defects, connector/wiring issues, or fit problems, and either correct them or escalate to Manufacturing Engineering/Quality with a clear description of the issue.
• Use hand, power, and precision tools (torque drivers, crimping tools, basic test equipment) correctly and train others in their safe use.
• Support process improvement by flagging unclear work instructions, recurring defects, or line balance issues to the Production Lead and Manufacturing Engineering.
• Assist with kitting, parts staging, and inventory/cycle counts, and help coordinate line-side material flow with the Storekeeper.
• Maintain and enforce 5S and safety standards on the line, including for the junior technicians being trained.
• Complete and review assembly checklists/documentation, including sign-off on work performed by trainees where applicable.
