Job description: About Us

At Pickle Robot, we're on a mission to automate global supply chains with Physical AI. Our robots work alongside warehouse teams to unload trucks and containers — one of the toughest, most understaffed jobs in logistics — making the work safer, faster, and more efficient for the people doing it. Loading trucks comes next, followed by the Dill Autonomy Engine: generalized autonomy that will eventually orchestrate robots across entire logistics processes.

We’re looking for a Manufacturing Technician with a strong electrical background to lead complex builds on our robotic systems, focusing on wiring, electrical cabinet assembly, and controls hardware integration. This is a senior technician role — you’ll work with minimal oversight, serve as the primary point of contact for electrical build-floor troubleshooting, and train junior technicians on electrical systems and safety.

What You'll Do

Lead end-to-end builds of electrical subsystems — wiring harnesses, electrical cabinets, sensor and motor wiring, and controls hardware integration

Serve as the primary troubleshooting resource for electrical build issues on the floor, diagnosing problems others escalate to you

Perform continuity testing, wiring verification, and electrical safety checks per defined procedures

Train and mentor junior technicians on electrical build steps, wire routing standards, and safety practices

Regularly surface DFM/DFA issues to Engineering that you catch during electrical builds — connector fit, harness routing, labeling clarity — and propose workable fixes, not just flag problems

Maintain accurate, complete electrical build and test records

Also supports mechanical assembly builds when needed

What You'll Bring

3+ years of hands-on electrical assembly experience — wiring, harnessing, panel/cabinet builds, or similar electro-mechanical work

Comfortable reading electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and connector pinouts

Experience with hand tools and test equipment specific to electrical work: crimpers, wire strippers, multimeters, continuity testers

Strong troubleshooting instincts — able to diagnose the root cause of an electrical issue, not just identify that something’s wrong

Comfortable training and mentoring less experienced technicians

Prior experience in robotics, automation, or industrial controls electrical assembly is a strong plus

Familiarity with basic electrical safety standards (lockout/tagout, E-stop systems) preferred

Positive attitude and strong communication skills; willingness to learn and share knowledge with others.
