## About the role

This is a hybrid technician / field engineer role. Most of the time, you'll work hands-on in our New York City Lab: assembling machines, integrating subsystems, running tests, and making sure everything we ship works. When a machine goes to a customer, you go with it, installing, commissioning, and supporting it on-site until it runs reliably. Our first deployment is in Germany, and you'll be a core part of that team on the ground.

## What they're looking for

- Hands-on experience assembling, testing, or servicing industrial machinery, robotics, automation equipment, or similar (technician, mechatronics, field service, or maintenance background)
- Comfortable working across mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic systems, able to read technical drawings and wiring schematics
- Strong troubleshooting instincts - you can isolate a problem methodically and fix it, or know when to escalate
- Excellent communication skills: you'll represent us in front of customers and translate between their operators and our engineers
- Willingness to travel internationally, sometimes for extended commissioning stints (multiple weeks)
- Self-directed and reliable, in a small team, things you own actually get done
