Electromechanical Assembly Technician

About Us

We are a venture-backed manufacturing startup building the most advanced automated production facilities in the United States. We are on a mission to make American manufacturing economically viable — through intelligent machinery, automation, and a relentless focus on execution.

We are early, we are moving fast, and we are looking for exceptional people who want to build something that matters.

Role Summary

We're hiring our first Electromechanical Assembly Technician — someone who will set the standard for how we build machines. This role owns the physical assembly of complex electromechanical systems: motors, drives, enclosures, wire harnesses, and the full mechanical and electrical integration of industrial manufacturing equipment.

Responsibilities

• Assemble complex electromechanical systems from engineering drawings, BOMs, and work orders — including motors, drives, sensors, actuators, and mechanical assemblies

• Build, wire, and dress electrical panels and enclosures to engineering documentation and industry standards

• Fabricate and terminate cable and wire harnesses, including crimping, pinning, and connector assembly

• Integrate PLC hardware, motor drives, and associated control components into machine assemblies

• Work directly alongside engineers during system bring-up, supporting wiring verification, I/O checkout, and sensor calibration

• Read and interpret electrical schematics, single-line, and three-line diagrams — and use them to support troubleshooting and commissioning

• Identify and communicate build issues, fit/function problems, and documentation gaps back to the engineering team

• Help establish build standards, assembly processes, and shop practices as the team grows around this role

• Maintain a clean, organized, and well-documented shop environment — tools, inventory, and work-in-progress

Preferred Experience

• Demonstrated experience assembling complex electromechanical systems — motors, drives, enclosures, harnesses, and mechanical assemblies

• Experience building and wiring electrical panels and enclosures in an industrial environment

• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, single-line, and three-line diagrams for assembly and troubleshooting

• Familiarity with PLC hardware and industrial control components in a build or commissioning context

• Hands-on troubleshooting ability — comfortable following a signal, reading a meter, and helping an engineer isolate a problem

• Able to work independently from engineering documentation with minimal direction

• Detail-oriented and process-driven — understands that build quality determines machine reliability

• Collaborative by nature — experience working closely with engineers in a lab or development environment

Nice to Have

• Exposure to PCBA assembly, soldering, or electronics build work

• Experience with precision mechanical assembly (tight tolerances, bearings, shafts, couplings)

• Familiarity with specific PLC platforms (Beckhoff, Allen-Bradley, Siemens, or similar)

• Experience in a hard tech, robotics, or aerospace environment

• Startup or small team background where you helped define how things get built

Additional

• Willingness to travel as needed for on-site equipment installation and commissioning

• Comfort with a startup pace — priorities shift, builds iterate fast, and a bias toward figuring it out is essential
