Job description

Our Vision

Weave is making personal robots that are built for the home and shipping soon. Our robot, Isaac, will autonomously fold laundry, tidy up messes, and care for your home while you're away.

Responsibilities

• CNC machining – set up, run, and maintain 3-/5‑axis mills and lathes; choose tooling, workholding and work setups
• CNC maintenance – Perform regular CNC machine maintenance and inspection
• 3‑D printing – operate FDM/SLA printers, post‑process parts, and validate fit & finish
• Robot build & rework – assemble electromechanical subsystems, integrate wiring, and bring full robots to life
• Troubleshooting & repair – diagnose mechanical failures, swap components, and document fixes
• Rapid iteration – work shoulder‑to‑shoulder with engineers, giving real‑time feedback on DFM and tolerances
• Shop stewardship – keep our prototype lab organized, safe, and stocked with consumables

Requirements

• Hands‑on experience running CNC equipment or industrial 3‑D printers (2+ years preferred)
• CAM/CAD fluency (Fusion 360, SolidWorks)
• Ability to read mechanical drawings, GD&T, and basic wiring diagrams
• Pro at hand tools, fasteners, soldering, and safe shop practices
• Maker mindset: you iterate quickly, keep clear notes, balance process with agility in a fast‑moving environment, and own quality from first chip to final assembly
• Eligible to work in the U.S. and available to work on‑site in San Francisco

Bonus Skills

• Ability to manufacture high complexity parts and maintain tight tolerances for mating components
• Experience in inspecting precision‑machined parts using manual tools (calipers, micrometers, dial indicators, height gauges) and automated systems, ensuring conformance to tight tolerances and GD&T requirements
• Hands‑on experience fabricating composite structures combining materials such as carbon fiber, fiberglass, and aluminum; including layup, bonding, mechanical fastening, and post‑processing.
• Experience with building and working with/around robots
• Basic PCB re‑work, crimping, or harness fabrication
• OSHA 10 or other safety certifications
