You will inspect, power-on, and bring up each subsystem, verify software and firmware, and perform long-duration tests. This role requires hands-on repair expertise with electromechanical systems and a disciplined, safety-minded approach.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience troubleshooting and repairing complete machines: robots, industrial automation, field equipment, or similar electromechanical systems
• Experience bringing machines up or commissioning them, not only assembling or running checklists
• Comfort reading electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and assembly drawings
• Confident with a multimeter on power, wiring, and signal problems
• A sharp eye for wiring quality: crimps, ferrules, connector pins, strain relief, routing
• Working knowledge of DC power, motors, actuators, sensors, and connectors
• A methodical approach: form a hypothesis, test it, find the cause, verify the repair
• Clear notes and communication, including knowing the difference between a confirmed cause and a guess
• Willingness to work extended hours during production pushes

Responsibilities

• Receive robots from the line, inspect wiring workmanship, and perform safe first power-up
• Bring up each subsystem: DC power and battery, CAN communications, robot arm and controller, mobile base and drives, sensors, vacuum, and safety circuits
• Load and verify software, firmware, calibrations, and configurations using our tools and procedures
• Run functional and final acceptance tests, including multi-hour continuous runs
• Troubleshoot electrical, mechanical, and configuration failures down to root cause
• Repair within approved procedures, then retest to prove the fix
• Log failures, repairs, and test results in our manufacturing system
• Prep robots for shipment: final checks, battery charge, arm stowing, and paperwork
• Bring recurring problems to Production Engineering so they get fixed at the source
• Help train other technicians and build troubleshooting guides
• Follow electrical safety, ESD, lithium battery, and lockout procedures
