Supports robotics hardware testing by setting up test rigs, running procedures, collecting ROS bags, documenting results, and flagging issues. Assists remote engineers with on-site robot operation and pair debugging. Performs 3D printing, fabrication, workcell and fixture assembly, cabling, lab organization, and basic maintenance. Requires hands-on robotics troubleshooting, Linux and terminal familiarity, basic ROS/ROS2 knowledge, some Python exposure, reliability, and clear written communication.
About the job
You're the hands and eyes in our robotics lab for our hybrid global team. You'll support hardware testing, help our remote engineers work on physical robots, and pitch in on fabrication: 3D printing and building out workcells. It's a great fit for someone who’s hands-on and likes hardware, and wants to be at the center of how a robotics products actually gets built and tested.
Job Responsibilities
- Support hardware testing in the lab: set up test rigs, run test procedures, capture results, and flag issues.
- Act as the on-site hands for remote engineers: record and collect ROS bags, run robots through scenarios, and join live pair-debugging sessions on real hardware.
- Support fabrication: 3D printing (prepping, printing, post-processing parts) and building/assembling workcells, fixtures, and cabling.
- Keep the lab organized and test-ready: manage hardware, cables, and fixtures, and handle basic setup and maintenance.
- Document test setups, results, and observations clearly so a distributed team stays unblocked.
Job Requirements
- Local to the San Francisco Bay Area and able to work on-site 20-30 hours per week; Our lab is located in Oakland near the airport.
- Hands-on aptitude with hardware: comfortable troubleshooting robotics systems.
- Comfortable in a Linux/terminal environment; basic ROS/ROS2 familiarity (e.g., recording ROS bags) or the ability to pick it up quickly.
- Some Python exposure: enough to follow along and be useful in a pair-debugging session.
- Organized, reliable, and a clear communicator, especially in writing with remote teammates.
Nice to have
- 3D printing experience and comfort with basic shop/fabrication tools.
- Coursework or hobby projects in robotics, mechatronics, EE, ME, or CS.
- Exposure to industrial or collaborative arms, teach pendants, sensors, or machine vision.
- Degree in Industrial Engineering, Computer Science, Mechatronics, etc.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
