Manufacturing Technician
Swarmbotics is looking for a hands-on Manufacturing Technician to build, test, and deliver our autonomous ground robots from our Phoenix production floor. This role will perform end-to-end assembly of complex electromechanical products, working from drawings, work instructions, and BOMs to deliver quality hardware on a predictable cadence. You'll perform mechanical assembly, electrical integration, harness work, sub-assembly, final integration, and station-level functional checks across the production line. You'll also be responsible for maintaining unit traceability through serial numbers, torque records, and calibration records on every robot that ships. Additionally, this role will help stand up new fixtures, jigs, and station layouts as the line scales and as product revisions roll. This role will work closely with hardware, embedded, and systems engineering to surface defects early, redline work instructions when needed, and turn one-off builds into a stable production process.
Required Qualifications
5-7 years of hands-on assembly experience building complex electromechanical products
Ability to read mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, and indented BOMs
Hands-on experience with calibrated torque tools and torque traceability practices
Experience working at an ESD-controlled bench with proper electronics handling discipline
Experience with harness work, including crimping, terminating, and continuity testing
Experience with mechanical assembly techniques including press-fits, gasketing, threaded inserts, and fastener preload
Experience running power-on functional checks against a written test procedure on embedded systems
Strong commitment to documentation, work instruction redlines, and unit traceability
A high school diploma or GED
Comfort working in the high-paced, fluid environment of a tech startup
Excitement about contributing to the defense of the United States and its allies
Ability to obtain and hold a U.S. security clearance
Ability to relocate to Phoenix, AZ
Preferred Qualifications
Associate degree, technical certificate, or military technical training in a relevant field
Prior experience as a build, line, or new-product-introduction technician at a hardware startup
Experience with transducerized electric drivers and networked torque-data capture
Experience flashing firmware and bringing up Linux-based embedded compute platforms
Familiarity with vehicle bus diagnostics and bench-level telemetry
Experience using an ERP, MES, or PLM system for kit pulls, traveler sign-offs, and serialized unit tracking
Experience with lean production practices and structured workplace organization
IPC-A-610, J-STD-001, or equivalent crimp and harness certification
Forklift, pallet jack, or material-handling experience
Active U.S. security clearance
