Why This Role Exists
Every new product that enters a Molg microfactory must be understood before it can be automated. This role exists to reverse‑engineer complex hardware—quickly and accurately—so robotic processes can be designed, validated, and deployed with confidence.

What You’ll Do

Disassemble and analyze incoming products to understand construction, fasteners, materials, tolerances, and failure modes.

Reverse‑engineer assemblies and subassemblies to inform robotic disassembly, repair, and recovery processes.

Develop and document repeatable teardown and handling processes that can be translated into automated workflows.

Identify mechanical risks, variability, and edge cases that could impact automation success or yield.

Create clear technical documentation, measurements, and part‑level insights for use by mechanical and robotics teams.

Use CAD, metrology tools, and/or 3D scanning to capture geometry and critical features.

Collaborate closely with engineers to iterate on fixturing, tooling, and process design based on real product behavior.

Support early validation builds and pilot runs, helping debug issues as processes move from manual to automated.

You’ll build alongside an exceptional team, develop innovative solutions, and grow in a fast‑paced environment that values autonomy and impact.

Who You Are

Exceptional mechanical intuition and a strong sense for how things are built and why.

Hands‑on experience disassembling complex products—electronics, machinery, consumer devices, or similar.

A process‑development mindset—you naturally think in steps, constraints, and repeatability.

Experience using CAD, metrology tools, and/or 3D scanning to capture and communicate mechanical information.

Strong attention to detail and the ability to clearly document findings for others to build on.

A willingness to work in‑person at Molg HQ in Sterling, VA.
