• Completion of a relevant technical trade program, such as diesel technology, hydraulics, welding, mechatronics, electrical technology, or a similar field, may be considered in lieu of professional experience.
• For experienced candidates, 5+ years of experience in a related technical or industrial field is preferred. Relevant education, training, and hands-on experience will be considered together when evaluating candidates.
• Competency with computers, spreadsheets, electronic documentation, and other digital tools.
• Experience, training, or demonstrated ability in fabricating and modifying metal parts using equipment such as mills, lathes, and welders.
• Experience, training, or demonstrated ability to read and build from electrical schematics, including crimping and soldering.
• Ability to travel occasionally as needed.
• Enthusiasm for our mission and for building, testing, troubleshooting, and improving robotic systems.

For more experienced candidates, we are particularly interested in:

• 3+ years of experience in a related technical or industrial field.
• Experience independently troubleshooting complex electro-mechanical systems.
• Experience with fabrication, welding, machining, wiring, robotics, hydraulics, or vehicle systems.
• Experience working alongside engineering or design teams in an R&D, prototype, manufacturing, or field environment.

• Experience working with diesel engines.
• Experience with hydraulic systems.
• Experience with electric vehicles or similar battery-powered electrical systems.
• Proficiency with MIG and TIG welding.
• Familiarity with ABB robotic arms or similar industrial robotics.
• Experience building automotive or industrial wiring harnesses.

We encourage candidates to apply even if they do not meet every qualification listed above. We value demonstrated technical ability, hands-on experience, curiosity, and a willingness to learn, and will consider candidates based on their overall combination of skills, education, and experience.
