About the RoleAs our Engineering Lab Manager, you'll be the backbone of our hardware lab - keeping it organized, stocked, and running smoothly so our engineers can focus on building. This is a hands-on, highly visible role in a small, fast-moving office of around 30 engineers working on cutting-edge humanoid robotics.
This is a great opportunity for someone with a hands-on technical background who wants to grow inside a robotics company at an early and exciting stage.
What You'll Do- Own lab organization - maintain a clean, safe, and well-organized lab environment. Keep workbenches, storage, and shared spaces in order so the team can work efficiently.
- Engineering inventory management - track and restock components, consumables, tools, and lab equipment. Own the procurement process for day-to-day lab needs, working with vendors and internal stakeholders to keep things moving. Kit parts for engineering builds and repairs.
- Support hardware and equipment - assist engineers with equipment setup, basic maintenance, and calibration of lab tools including oscilloscopes, power supplies, soldering stations, and test fixtures. Flag equipment issues and coordinate repairs or replacements.
- Facilitate general lab operations - coordinate deliveries, manage lab access, support onboarding of new team members to lab tools and processes, and help enforce lab safety policies.
- Support the team day-to-day - pitch in where needed across a small, busy engineering team. This might mean helping set up a demo, organizing a shipment, or sourcing a hard-to-find component quickly.
What We're Looking For- Hands-on experience in an electronics, engineering, or hardware lab environment - through work or school.
- Demonstrated experience managing physical inventory: receiving, tracking, reorder thresholds, vendor coordination in a lab, warehouse, makerspace, or production environment.
- Familiarity with component and inventory management tools or systems
- Comfort handling and organizing electronic components, PCBAs, cables, and lab equipment
- Expertise with ESD handling protocols for sensitive electronic components and assemblies.
- Strong attention to detail and a natural tendency to keep shared spaces organized and functional
- Strong communication skills and comfort working closely with technical teams
- Ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities in a fast-moving environment
- This role requires the ability to lift and carry equipment and materials weighing up to 40 lbs as part of regular lab duties
Nice to Have- Experience with basic soldering, rework, or electronics assembly
- Exposure to robotics, electromechanical systems, or a hardware startup environment
- Comfort using tools like Notion, Jira, or similar for tracking and documentation.
- Experience with PLM tools, such as TeamCenter or Arena.
