Where: San Diego, CA | Pay: $35–$42/hour DOE | Schedule: Full-Time
Why This Role Matters
Own the build, integration, test, and delivery readiness of complex systems like subsea thrusters and actuators.
Work in a growing production environment where processes and documentation are rapidly maturing—your feedback shapes how we build.
This is not repetitive assembly; it’s problem-solving, precision craftsmanship, and system-level thinking.
What You’ll Tackle
Assemble multi-discipline electro-mechanical builds and complete system integrations
Install mechanical hardware, route/terminate wiring and cabling, and fit components
Handle motors, actuators, sensors, and connectors with best-practice workmanship
Read/interpret drawings, schematics, and wiring diagrams to execute work accurately
Run functional tests; verify and document performance
Troubleshoot issues at electrical, mechanical, and system layers
Conduct failure analysis; identify root cause and implement fixes with minimal supervision
Perform rework, repair, adjustments, and modifications
Collaborate directly with engineers to clear production roadblocks
Highlight documentation, process, or design gaps and recommend improvements
Steward assigned products through build, test, debug, and shipment readiness
Must-Haves
5+ years in an electro-mechanical technician role (preferred)
Experience building/integrating/testing/troubleshooting full electro-mechanical equipment
Mechanical aptitude plus demonstrated electrical/electronics troubleshooting ability
Track record of independently diagnosing and resolving technical problems
Hands-on experience with mechanical assemblies, wiring/terminations, motors, actuators, and sensors
Ability to read mechanical drawings and electrical schematics
Proficiency with electrical test gear and common mechanical measurement tools
Comfort operating without step-by-step procedures and within evolving documentation
High attention to detail and quality
Nice-to-Have Domains
Marine/subsea work is a bonus but not required. We love experience from:
Robotics and automation
Aerospace and defense
Semiconductor equipment
Industrial machinery
Prototype and R&D environments
Complex medical equipment
Field service/equipment repair
Other low-volume, high-complexity electro-mechanical products
How You’re Wired
People come to you when something won’t power up, pass test, or behave as designed. You enjoy chasing the fault, proving the fix, and delivering a system that works flawlessly.
