Engineering Technician

Job type: Full Time · Department: Mechanical · Work type: On-Site · USD 30-45 / hour

El Segundo, California, United States

What you get to do:

  • Support the build, integration, debugging, and testing of robotic subsystems, production hardware, and test fixtures

  • Work closely with mechanical, electrical, and software engineers to bring prototypes to life, maintain hardware, and support field deployments

  • Assist with assembly of actuators, structure, and fluid systems

  • Perform harness builds, rework, and routing for development and production systems

  • Troubleshoot electro-mechanical assemblies and support root-cause investigations

  • Assist with hardware-in-the-loop test systems setup and maintenance

  • Support engineers during prototype bring-up including mechanical assembly, electrical wiring, and basic plumbing

  • Maintain a clean, organized lab space and manage tools and spare inventory

  • Occasionally support field deployments and hardware upgrades at customer sites

  • Collaborate with Production Coordinator to meet build timelines and production goals

What you will need:

  • 2+ years of hands-on technician or manufacturing experience

  • Strong mechanical aptitude and familiarity with hand tools, power tools, and light fabrication

  • Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings, wiring schematics, and harness diagrams

  • Experience with electro-mechanical assemblies including PCBAs, motors, actuators, and sensors

  • Comfortable in a fast-paced R&D environment with evolving requirements

  • Attention to detail and a proactive, self-starting mindset

  • Comfort switching between mechanical assembly, electrical troubleshooting, and basic plumbing — you may help an engineer debug a PCB one day, then route a harness or integrate a subsystem the next

Bonus if you have experience with:

  • Industrial crimping tools, D-sub and circular connectors

  • Low-voltage electrical systems and safe troubleshooting practicesTest setups involving pumps, valves, or pneumatics

  • Basic Linux command line or Python scripting

  • Supporting prototype bring-up or field deployments

Other things to know:

We’re a fast-paced, hardware-heavy team that thrives on solving tough mechanical and electrical challenges in the real world. Whether it’s a testbed on the bench or a robot being deployed on a fishing vessel, we believe in building things that work — and fixing them fast when they don’t.
