Hardware Support Engineer II

The role

You will drive hardware builds, diagnostics, validation, and quality control for robotic systems. You will also improve lab processes and support cross-functional engineering initiatives.

What you will do

• Fabricate, assemble, integrate, and validate robotic prototypes.
• Maintain and enforce hardware quality standards across builds, repairs, and deployments.
• Lead root cause investigations for mechanical, electrical, and system-level failures.
• Develop, execute, and refine comprehensive test plans.
• Design and fabricate assembly jigs, test fixtures, and validation systems.
• Support and optimize bench-top electrical system builds.
• Own setup, calibration, validation, and maintenance of teleoperation rigs.
• Serve as on-site technical lead during client deployments.
• Develop and maintain Standard Operating Procedures, quality checklists, and training materials.
• Improve lab organization, inventory tracking, and sourcing workflows.

Required qualifications

• 3+ years of experience as an Engineering Technician, Hardware Technician, or similar role in Robotics, Automotive, Medical Devices, R&D, or Manufacturing.
• Demonstrated experience maintaining and improving hardware quality standards in a lab or production environment.
• Strong experience assembling and troubleshooting complex electro-mechanical systems.
• Ability to independently diagnose and resolve system-level mechanical, electrical, and basic software issues.
• Hands-on experience with hand and power tools.
• Hands-on experience with high- and low-voltage systems.
• Hands-on experience with wire harness assembly and repair.
• Hands-on experience with soldering and rework.
• Hands-on experience with DMMs, oscilloscopes, and power supplies.
• Hands-on experience with electro-mechanical devices and actuators.
• Ability to interpret mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, and 3D CAD models.
• Working knowledge of Linux, command line tools, Python scripting, and networking debugging.

Nice to have

• Direct experience with robotic systems, automation platforms, or autonomous hardware.
• Experience implementing or working within structured quality systems (e.g., ISO-based processes, formal validation procedures).
• Proficiency in CAD tools (Onshape preferred; SolidWorks, CATIA, etc.).
• Experience with electrical design tools (e.g., Altium) and PCB bring-up.
• Experience with 3D printing, machining, laser cutting, and rapid prototyping workflows.
• Experience mentoring junior technicians or leading small build efforts.
• Experience in fast-paced startup environments with evolving quality systems.
