Robot Assembly & Test Associate, Scythe Robotics

• Some experience with mechanical and electrical hand tools including, but not limited to: wrenches, sockets, torque wrenches, multimeter, screwdrivers, etc
• We’re looking for people who are handy, mechanically inclined, and trainable, not necessarily that you’ve used every single tool in our toolbox (though we’ll take that too!)
• Strong verbal communication skills. You will be communicating in person with interdisciplinary team members on a daily basis (engineers, peers, supply chain, etc). Examples of this are standup meetings, team huddles, quality reviews, safety reviews, etc
• Able to follow written and verbal instructions and ask clarifying questions. In many cases you will be working on prototypes or performing tests, so clear communication and not being afraid to ask for additional information is critical
• Basic computer skills. Ideally this includes experience with a suite of Google and/or Microsoft tools (Google Sheets, Google Docs, MS Excel, MS Word, etc). Interpreting assembly instructions from these tools will be a key to success
• Able to safely use tools and wear proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
