About the role

This role sits at the core of the company. You’ll be assembling the actual systems that go out into the world, working closely with engineering to improve reliability, speed, and quality.

Responsibilities

• Assemble Axol robots, including mechanical structures, wiring, and enclosures
• Perform bring-up, testing, and basic debugging of robot systems
• Follow and improve assembly procedures, work instructions, and checklists
• Identify and flag issues during builds (fit, tolerance, wiring, reliability)
• Work closely with engineers to iterate on designs
• Support prototyping, rework, and small-batch production builds
• Help manage parts, tools, and build organization on the floor
• Track, audit, and manage inventory levels to ensure accuracy
• Evaluate current processes and recommend improvements to increase efficiency

Requirements

• 1–3+ years of hands-on assembly or technician experience (robotics, hardware, automotive, aerospace, or similar)
• Strong mechanical intuition and attention to detail
• Experience with hand tools, fasteners, torque specs, and basic fabrication
• Comfort working with wiring, connectors, and cable routing
• Ability to debug issues and follow problems through to resolution

• Experience assembling robots, electromechanical systems, or automation equipment
• Familiarity with test equipment (multimeter, power supplies, etc.)
• Experience with low-volume manufacturing or production builds
• Exposure to CAD or ability to read engineering drawings

What we’re looking for

• High ownership: you care about the robot working in the real world, not just on the bench
• Speed & quality: you can move fast without breaking things
• Strong communication with engineers. Surfacing issues early and clearly
• Excitement about building real-world robotics systems

About the interview

• Intro call
• On-site build + practical assessment
• Team fit / collaboration discussion
