Field Assembly Technician – GW-Scale Energy Hardware

TAR; Odessa (TX); On-site; USD 25,000 - 34,000; Full time

Job summary

TAR is building the world’s first off-grid power plant for data centers in West Texas. As part of our assembly line, you’ll join a small crew assembling racking tables, robot subassemblies, and field equipment to strict drawings and torque specs.

You’ll gain hands-on experience with mechanical and electrical subassemblies, use hand and power tools, perform checks, and contribute to real deployments in demanding environments.

Qualifications

• 1+ year of hands-on experience in assembly, manufacturing, construction, fabrication, or a mechanical trade.
• Comfort with hand and power tools, following written instructions and basic drawings, and using measurement tools (multimeter, calipers).
• Attention to detail. You check your torque, count your bolts, and catch mistakes before they leave your station.
• Soldering experience; fine-pitch and through-hole rework is a plus.
• Solid troubleshooting ability across electrical and mechanical failures.
• Read layout drawings, schematics, wiring diagrams, and parts lists.

Responsibilities

• Assemble racking tables, robot subassemblies, and field equipment to drawings, work instructions, and torque specs.
• Build and test mechanical and electrical subassemblies, including wire harnesses.
• Install hardware in the field. That includes placing plates, setting rebar, bolting and leveling assemblies, and routing ground and bonding wires under supervision.
• Use hand and power tools, torque wrenches, crimpers, and measuring tools, and check your own work against spec.
• Keep tools and equipment calibrated, including torque wrenches and crimpers.
• Run functional checks on what you build, including setup, testing, and teardown, before it goes to the field.
• Stage parts and kits so builds never wait, and keep tools, carts, and work areas organized.
• Run forklifts and other material handling equipment once you’re trained and certified.
• Flag problems early and log what you find, like parts that don’t fit, steps that don’t work, or anything slow, unsafe, or exhausting. Suggest the fix if you have one.
• Follow site safety rules and JSAs every time.
• Help try out new processes and fixtures, and give honest feedback on what works.
