Mechanical Assembly Technician

Responsibilities

You'll be central to the physical construction of Clone's skeletal systems — not just executing assembly, but actively improving how it gets done.

Hardware Assembly

• Perform hands-on assembly of the Clone skeletal system across prototype and pre-production stages.
• Evaluate and test new materials supplied by the mechanical team — silicones, 3D prints, metals — to support continuous product development.
• Identify opportunities to optimize workflows and workstation setups for improved efficiency and repeatability.

Process & Collaboration

• Partner with mechanical engineers to provide structured, actionable feedback throughout the prototype assembly process.
• Contribute as a key stakeholder in developing new solutions — your insights into production processes will directly influence quality standards across manufacturing stages.
• Help shape the structure and operating practices of the Assembly team as the company scales toward full android production.

Requirements

We're looking for someone with genuine hands-on workshop depth — someone who can work independently, communicate across time zones, and bring structured thinking to a fast-moving build environment.

Required

• 2+ years of workshop experience across various technologies and manufacturing fields.
• Proven ability to work with diverse materials including silicones, 3D prints, and metals.
• Solid understanding of manufacturing processes and the ability to read technical drawings.
• Ability to work independently and communicate clearly with engineering teammates.
• Fluent English — essential for coordination between our Mountain View and Poland teams.
• We are looking for someone with experience similar to Automotive Assembly Operator (repairs and renovations) or Phone Micro-component Assembler.

Bonus points

• Familiarity with CAD design programs (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or similar).
• Experience in precision assembly environments.

What We Offer

This is an early-stage opportunity with real scope: you'll influence manufacturing quality standards across the whole production pipeline.

• Real impact. Your feedback shapes quality standards across the entire manufacturing pipeline — not just your bench.
• Early-stage ownership. Help define team structure and assembly processes before they're set in stone.
• Cutting-edge hardware. Work with novel materials and prototype systems at the frontier of humanoid robotics.
• Collaborative environment. Close working relationship with mechanical engineers across the U.S. and Poland.
• On-site in Mountain View. Hands-on role in our California workshop, where the robots are actually built.
• Contract with 20 days of paid holidays + 5 days of sick leave + 8 unpaid days off
