This role is 100% on-site at our South San Francisco office, 5 days per week. What You'll Do Build and test prototype hardware across a wide range of maturity levels, providing manufacturability and efficiency feedback to engineering teams. Assemble, commission, and maintain tester equipment used to validate new hardware. Instrument test articles with sensors and data acquisition systems, ensuring accuracy and repeatability of results. Collaborate closely with hardware teams to identify issues, troubleshoot failures, and develop solutions. Proactively flag risks, inefficiencies, or opportunities for process improvements, and help implement changes. Design and prototype fixtures to support builds, tests, and maintenance tasks. Manage multiple hardware builds through various stages of mechanical and electrical testing. What You'll Bring Over 3 years of industry experience Experience with prototyping, assembly, or manufacturing of electro-mechanical systems. Hands-on skills in instrumentation (sensors, DAQ, wiring, calibration) and troubleshooting test setups. A high level of craftsmanship, attention to detail, and ability to deliver quickly under time pressure. Strong communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain technical challenges and tradeoffs. A mix of skills such as soldering, harnessing, machining, technical documentation, or data analysis. Bonus if you have: Familiarity with test automation or scripting (Python, C++, or similar).
