About the Role

As a Senior Engineering Technician at Maven Robotics, you will bridge the gap between engineering concepts and real-world execution. You will work closely with mechanical, electrical and software engineers to build, test, troubleshoot, and refine complex electromechanical systems and prototypes. As a senior member of the technical team, you will also help mentor junior technicians, drive quality, and continually improve our products and lab.

What You'll Do

  • Assembly & Integration: Build, integrate, and modify complex electromechanical prototypes, assemblies, and test fixtures for prototyping and low-volume production
  • Wiring & Electrical: Perform precision soldering, wire harness assembly, crimping, and custom wiring
  • Fabrication: Use machining, cutting, drilling, and 3D printing to fabricate and modify prototype components
  • Testing & Troubleshooting: Develop test setups, execute test plans, and diagnose mechanical, electrical, and automated system failures
  • Data Collection & Analysis: Document technical data, analyze test results, and provide clear reports to engineering teams
  • Process Improvement: Improve lab efficiency, SOPs, and assembly and testing procedures.
  • Lab Maintenance & Safety: Maintain and calibrate equipment, manage inventory, and ensure compliance with robotics lab safety protocols
  • Mentorship: Provide technical guidance, training, and support to junior technicians and operators

What We're Looking For

  • 10+ years of hands-on technician experience in testing, manufacturing, prototyping, or R&D environments
  • Associate degree in Engineering Technology (Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics), vocational certification, or equivalent practical/military experience
  • Strong ability to interpret engineering drawings, schematics, and wiring diagrams
  • Proficiency with diagnostic and precision measurement tools, including oscilloscopes, multimeters, calipers, and micrometers
  • Experience with CAD software (NX/CATIA), fixture design, machining, and manufacturing processes
  • Solid understanding of BLDC/stepper motors, servo drives, and communication interfaces (CAN, EtherCAT, Serial, Ethernet)
  • Knowledge of laboratory safety standards, protocols, and best practices
  • Excellent troubleshooting, problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills with strong attention to detail

Nice to Have

  • Experience with CNC machining processes
  • Experience with lab automation tools (e.g., LabVIEW, basic scripting/Python)
  • Relevant industry certifications (e.g., IPC standards, Machining/CNC, ISO quality standards)
  • Prior experience in a fast-paced R&D or rapid prototyping environment

About Maven

Maven Robotics designs, builds, and deploys intelligent robotics for logistics and manufacturing. Maven is building the first general-purpose robotics system for industrial work. Our mission is to activate autonomous labor at scale and build toward infinitely elastic industrial capacity. We're a team of engineers, researchers, and operators who have spent our careers working on the hardest problems in AI, robotics, engineering, and autonomous systems. We work at the intersection of advanced research and real-world engineering, turning ideas into prototypes and deployed systems.

At Maven, we build around the realities of industrial work. The robots are designed from first principles for complex physical environments and rigorous commercial standards. They master real tasks that deliver immediate impact, industrial-grade reliability, and intelligence that compounds at scale. We're growing an ambitious team of people who think in systems, move quickly, and are builders at heart.
