About the Role
As a Manufacturing/Sub Assembly Technician, you will build sensor pods and sub-assemblies for autonomous vehicles. You will assemble components, ensure proper torque specifications, and perform quality checks. This entry-level role offers training from senior technicians and leads in a dynamic production environment where precision and proactive communication are key.
Responsibilities
- Assemble sensor pods from components, including mounting and aligning sensors, brackets, and enclosures per engineering drawings and work instructions.
- Build and stage sub-assemblies (brackets, mounts, harness segments, and hardware kits) ahead of final pod and vehicle install.
- Torque all fasteners to spec using calibrated torque tools, and mark/verify torque (e.g., torque striping) so every pod is secure and vibration-ready.
- Route and secure pod wiring with proper connector seating, strain relief, and cable management.
- Perform quality checks on finished pods and sub-assemblies (fit, fastener security, connector checks) before handoff to installation.
- Follow standard operating procedures and flag gaps, unclear steps, missing or wrong parts, and design issues to leads and engineering.
- Log build issues in the issue tracker so engineering can close the loop on part and design problems.
- Accurately document completed builds, serial numbers, and checks as required.
- Support rework when design updates roll out to existing pods.
- Complete on-the-job training and build proficiency across assembly stations.
- Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area, including tool and part organization.
Requirements
- High school diploma or equivalent.
- Basic familiarity with hand tools and power tools, and willingness to learn proper torque tool use.
- Mechanical aptitude and ability to follow work instructions, diagrams, and assembly documentation.
- Some hands-on mechanical or electro-mechanical assembly experience (including vocational training, school programs, or personal projects).
- Experience using torque wrenches/drivers or working to torque specs.
- Exposure to wiring, connectors, or low-voltage electrical systems, basic multimeter use.
- Strong teamwork skills, communication, and attention to detail–especially on repetitive, precision assembly work.
- Eagerness to learn and take feedback in a fast-changing production environment where processes evolve week to week.
- Ability to lift and carry up to 50 pounds.
- Ability to work in, under, and around vehicles, including kneeling, crouching, reaching into confined spaces, and roof-level work.
- Ability to stand and perform repetitive tasks for extended periods.
