Job description

This role is hands on building and fixing humanoid robot hardware. A strong candidate has several years of electromechanical assembly or prototype work, can read CAD and wiring diagrams, solder and rework boards, and test sensors and actuators with bench equipment. Comfort with Unix command line and git, plus careful documentation, matters as much as tool skills.

How it fits the AI era

The work sits at the physical edge of an AI robotics company, turning designs and AI driven behaviours into reliable machines. AI may speed up diagnostics and test analysis, but assembly precision, fault finding with meters and scopes, and judgement about build quality stay human. The technician is the person who makes the robot real and safe in industrial settings.

How it builds AI experience

Experience comes from testing and bringing up sensors, actuators and compute on real robot platforms, and from running validation scripts and logging results carefully. Building familiarity with command line tooling, git workflows and embedded debugging would prepare someone well for this kind of hardware and AI framework pairing.

Worth showing

• Electromechanical assembly
• PCB rework and soldering
• Unix command line
• Sensor and actuator testing
