Electrical Engineering Technician, Robotics Hardware Engineering

Meta; Redmond, Northern (WA, KY); Hybrid; USD 85,000 - 115,000; Full time

Job summary

Meta Robotics Studio in Redmond, WA is seeking a hands-on Electrical Engineering Technician to bridge engineering intent and hardware validation. You will build, wire, and operate test platforms, fixtures, and benches that keep robotic electrical systems validated.

This is a build-and-test role — not a design role. You will assemble harnesses, solder and rework boards, run documented tests, and capture clean data for engineers.

Qualifications

• 5+ years hands-on experience in electrical/electronic hardware test, integration, assembly, or production.
• Proficiency in soldering and rework (through-hole and SMD) and component-level repair.
• Experience fabricating and terminating cable harnesses and connectors (crimping, connectorization).
• Ability to read and interpret schematics and wiring diagrams.
• Hands-on experience with bench instrumentation (oscilloscope, DMM, LCR, power supply, electronic load) and data acquisition systems.
• Experience executing documented test procedures and capturing/reporting test data.
• Strong technical writing and documentation skills.
• Experience prioritizing competing tasks and adapting to evolving requirements in hardware development or test environments.

Responsibilities

• Assemble harnesses and rework boards under engineering guidance.
• Stand up device-under-test setups and run documented test procedures.
• Capture clean data and report results to engineers.

Job description

At Meta, we're building the future of human connection and the technology that enables it. This means continuously inventing and developing technologies for the next generation of experiences.

To continue our efforts on the path to AGI, and as we move closer to a future with intelligent robots and advanced AI models, we're hiring talent across a broad range of disciplines from robotics hardware to system software, machine perception, and artificial intelligence. These crucial projects and initiatives taken on by this team have never been done before, so you have a rare opportunity to help us create new ways people connect around the world.

Meta Robotics Studio is seeking a hands‑on Electrical Engineering Technician to be the bench‑level bridge between engineering intent and validated hardware. Working closely with our System Integration and Test engineers, you will build, wire, and operate the test platforms, fixtures, and benches that keep our robot electrical systems under continuous validation. This is a build‑and‑test role — not a design role: you will spend your time assembling harnesses, soldering and reworking boards, standing up device‑under‑test setups, running documented test procedures, and capturing clean data that engineers can act on. Candidates should be comfortable working in a high‑ambiguity, fast‑paced environment where full system requirements are seldom known.

• 5+ years of hands‑on experience in electrical/electronic hardware test, integration, assembly, or production (robotics, consumer electronics, automotive, or aerospace preferred)
• Proficiency in soldering and rework (through‑hole and SMD) and component‑level repair
• Experience fabricating and terminating cable harnesses and connectors (crimping, connectorization)
• Ability to read and interpret schematics and wiring diagrams
• Hands‑on experience with standard bench instrumentation (oscilloscope, DMM, LCR, power supply, electronic load) and data acquisition systems
• Experience executing documented test procedures and capturing/reporting test data
• Strong technical writing and documentation skills
• Experience prioritizing competing tasks and adapting to evolving requirements in hardware development or test environments
• Direct experience with robotic or electromechanical systems (motors, actuators, drive electronics)
• IPC‑A‑610 and/or J‑STD‑001 soldering workmanship certification, and ESD‑control certification
• Basic scripting (e.g., Python) for test automation, data collection, or instrumentation control
• Experience with power systems — DC/DC conversion, battery management, and power cycling
• Familiarity with electrical and operational safety controls and procedures
• Experience building or maintaining Hardware‑in‑the‑Loop (HIL) benches, flatpacks/mules, or modular test rigs
• Associate's degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering Technology (EET) or equivalent experience
• Familiarity with communication bus protocols (EtherCAT, CAN, SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet) in distributed embedded systems
