Engineering Support Technician

Agility Robotics Agility Robotics · Robotics · Fremont, CA · Hardware

Agility Robotics is seeking an Engineering Support Technician to support Systems Engineering, Integration, and Testing (SEIT) initiatives. This role involves hands-on technical support for test operations, system integration, Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL), and hardware reliability, including build, maintenance, modification, setup, and operational support for test assets, prototype robots, high-voltage battery systems, custom fixtures, and lab infrastructure.

What you'd actually do

  1. Maintain, rework, upgrade, and repair the engineering robot fleet.
  2. Assist engineers during system-level test execution, including setup/teardown, sensor installation, high-voltage instrumentation, and fixture reconfiguration.
  3. Support prototype robot bring-up, subassembly maintenance, hardware reworks, and rapid iterations across mechanical, low-voltage, and high-voltage electrical domains.
  4. Fabricate and assemble test fixtures, build custom low-voltage and high-voltage wiring harnesses/cables, terminate connectors, and perform light part modifications to support rapid prototyping.
  5. Assemble racks, mount hardware, wire power supplies/PCs, and manage cables for Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) setups.
