## Job description

[Podium Automation](http://www.podiumautomation.com/) is reimagining industrial control panel manufacturing through software-enabled design and automated fabrication. We're building technology to create a new industrial supply chain - reducing lead times for critical electrical equipment from months to days. We've raised over $23M from top-tier investors including Construct Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Transition Ventures, Sunflower Capital, Banter Capital, and SV Angel.

We are seeking an **Assembly Technician I** to join a nimble, fast-paced team at the front lines of our factory, building and testing industrial control panels. You will have the opportunity to work in a variety of different operations from enclosure modification through wiring through final testing. As Podium iterates and implements new technologies, you will work hand-in-hand with the engineering team to both operate and test the new methods and equipment, while providing feedback and suggestions to help continually improve our production process.

  

**What You’ll Do**

-   Modify enclosures to include cutouts for panel mounted devices.
    
-   Retrieve components from stockroom and help maintain stockroom inventory levels
    
-   Mount components to the panel and wire them together bsaed on work instructions
    
-   Complete inspection procedures to ensure panels were assembled correctly
    
-   Assist with preparing completed panels for shipping, and helping load/unload goods from trucks when needed.
    
-   Test new methods and operate prototype automated equipment to help improve the speed and quality of the panels Podium builds, and provide constructive and detailed feedback.
    

  

**Who You Are**

There are 4 values that all Podium employees are expected to demonstrate (albeit imperfectly):

-   _**Win for the customer.**_ We sit on the same side of the table as our customers - their wins are our wins. We’re building the vendor we always wished we had.
    
-   _**Default to transparency.**_ We believe in honesty, transparency, and kindness. It’s about how you get things done and not just what gets done.
    
-   _**Speed is a feature.**_ We move fast and take ownership. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.
    
-   _**Win and lose as a team.**_ Individuals drive inputs, teams drive outputs. We celebrate success together but aren’t afraid to fail and iterate. We own outcomes together and don’t deflect blame.
    

  

**Required for this role**

-   High school diploma or equivalent
    
-   Mechanically inclined and experience doing light sheet metal modification work
    
-   Attention to detail in following written instructions
    
-   Understanding of electrical fundamentals (AC vs DC voltage, function of overcurrent protection devices, sizing of wiring)
    
-   Proficient in Microsoft Office
    
-   Able to work on your feet 8 hours/day
    
-   Able to lift items that are 25 lbs
    
-   Available to work in-person in Brooklyn, NY Monday through Friday.
    

  

**Preferred for this role**

-   Experience working in a UL 508A panel shop or with industrial control panels
    
-   Familiar with DTM, E3, EPLAN, or AutoCAD Electrical
