Robotics Lab Technician

Our vision

Weave is making personal robots that are built for the home and already shipping.

Responsibilities

• CNC machining – set up, run, and maintain 3-/5-axis mills and lathes; choose tooling, workholding and work setups

• CNC maintenance- Perform regular CNC machine maintenance and inspection

• 3-D printing – operate FDM/SLA printers, post-process parts, and validate fit & finish

• Robot build & rework – assemble electromechanical subsystems, integrate wiring, and bring full robots to life

• Troubleshooting & repair – diagnose mechanical failures, swap components, and document fixes

• Rapid iteration – work shoulder-to-shoulder with engineers, giving real-time feedback on DFM and tolerances

• Shop stewardship – keep our prototype lab organized, safe, and stocked with consumables

Requirements

• Hands-on experience running CNC equipment or industrial 3-D printers (2+ years preferred)

• CAM/CAD fluency (Fusion 360, SolidWorks)

• Ability to read mechanical drawings, GD&T, and basic wiring diagrams

• Pro at hand tools, fasteners, soldering, and safe shop practices

• Maker mindset: you iterate quickly, keep clear notes, balance process with agility in a fast-moving environment, and own quality from first chip to final assembly

• Eligible to work in the U.S. and available to work on-site in San Francisco

Bonus skills

• Ability to manufacture high complexity parts and maintain tight tolerances for mating components

• Experience in inspecting precision-machined parts using manual tools (calipers, micrometers, dial indicators, height gauges) and automated systems, ensuring conformance to tight tolerances and GD&T requirements

• Hands-on experience fabricating composite structures combining materials such as carbon fiber, fiberglass, and aluminum; including layup, bonding, mechanical fastening, and post-processing.

• Experience with building and working with/around robots

• Basic PCB re-work, crimping, or harness fabrication

• OSHA 10 or other safety certifications
