Job description

Proto-Town is a hardware campus in Lockhart where companies build real things prototyping, manufacturing, and frontier hardware, all in one place.

We're spinning up a production run of 100 robotic arms and hiring technicians to build them. This is not a maintenance job or a line job at an established plant. You'll be assembling the first hundred units of a new product, which means the process is still being figured out as you go.

What you'll do

• Assemble robotic arms from drawings and parts kits

• Install motors, sensors, and wiring

• Test each arm and fix what doesn't work (physically)

Ideal Skillsets

• Hands-on assembly experience: robotics, automation, aerospace, automotive, appliance, medical device, electronics manufacturing, or comparable

• Ability to read mechanical drawings and electrical schematics and build from them without hand-holding

• Comfortable with hand tools, torque wrenches, calipers, and a multimeter

• Capable of operating 3d printers

• Genuine attention to detail

• Able to lift 40 lbs and work on your feet
