Job Summary

Pay: $33-40/hr

This is a hands-on build-heavy manufacturing role in a fast-paced production environment. Most days will be spent assembling integrating and inspecting Shinkeis Poseidon machines. Mid-level technicians are expected to independently complete builds own assigned subassemblies follow engineering documentation and consistently meet quality and production targets.

Our work focuses primarily on mechanical electrical and electromechanical assemblies with some wiring testing and troubleshooting. Were looking for someone who can work efficiently with limited supervision adapt to evolving hardware and processes and help maintain a consistent production cadence.

What Youll Do
  • Independently assemble and integrate mechanical electrical and electromechanical subassemblies and production machines.

  • Own assigned subassemblies and build stages from start to completion ensuring work meets quality standards and production schedules.

  • Follow engineering drawings BOMs build instructions and torque specifications to complete builds accurately and consistently.

  • Perform wiring cable preparation crimping connector assembly harness routing and electrical integration.

  • Use hand tools power tools torque wrenches crimpers and multimeters throughout daily assembly work.

  • Inspect completed work identify discrepancies and resolve routine build issues before they affect downstream assembly.

  • Troubleshoot mechanical and electrical issues during integration and testing escalating issues that require engineering support.

  • Incorporate engineering changes and updated instructions into active builds while communicating unclear documentation or part discrepancies.

  • Identify opportunities to improve build instructions tooling and assembly processes.

  • Manage assigned work efficiently communicate progress and blockers and coordinate with the Production Coordinator to meet build deadlines.

  • Maintain an organized work area and support the training and development of junior technicians.

  • Occasionally support field deployments (if interested) hardware upgrades and service work.

What Youll Need
  • 2 years of hands-on experience in manufacturing mechanical or electromechanical assembly robotics automation or a similar environment.

  • Strong mechanical aptitude and proficiency with hand tools power tools and torque wrenches.

  • Ability to independently read and interpret mechanical drawings part diagrams BOMs and build instructions.

  • Experience with electrical assembly wire stripping crimping connectors and multimeter use.

  • Familiarity with quality standards and the importance of accurate repeatable assembly.

  • Strong attention to detail time management and ability to balance build quality with production deadlines.

  • Ability to work independently manage competing priorities and maintain a consistent pace with limited supervision.

  • Adaptability in a fast-paced environment where designs instructions and production priorities can change.

  • Dependability initiative and willingness to support teammates and share technical knowledge.

Required Technical Experience
  • Mechanical electrical or electromechanical assembly.

  • Hand tools power tools torque wrenches and basic assembly practices.

  • Wire stripping crimping connector assembly and basic electrical troubleshooting.

  • Reading technical drawings BOMs and detailed work instructions.

  • Familiarity with IPC/WHMA-A-620 wire harness standards or willingness to learn and apply them.

Preferred Experience
  • Industrial crimping tools D-sub connectors and circular connectors.

  • Low-voltage electrical systems and multimeter-based troubleshooting.

  • Experience with motors actuators or other electromechanical assemblies.

  • Manufacturing robotics automation or hardware integration.

  • Basic Linux command line Python or hardware testing.

  • Field deployments equipment installation or preventive maintenance.

What Success Looks Like

Successful mid-level technicians consistently produce high-quality work while maintaining the pace required in a growing production environment. They can independently complete assigned builds follow documentation closely manage their time and identify problems before they become larger production issues.

As Poseidon continues to evolve technicians must adapt to engineering changes while maintaining build quality and communicating discrepancies early. Mid-level technicians are also expected to help improve repeatability support junior team members and take increasing ownership of their subassemblies and processes.

What We Offer
  • Competitive hourly pay with opportunities for growth.

  • A collaborative engineering-focused team.

  • Hands-on experience building meaningful hardware from the lab to fishing vessel.

  • Opportunities to develop technical skills and take ownership of production processes.

  • Occasional travel to docks and deployment sites.

  • A freezer full of Seremoni-grade fish (seriously!).

Shinkei is an equal opportunity employer. We encourage applicants from all backgrounds to apply especially those who have taken an unconventional path to develop their skills.
