Job Description

About Mind:

Mind Robotics is building Physical AI for real-world industrial deployment, starting with the factory floor. We believe the hardest problems in AI are solved when researchers and engineers are hands-on with the physical world every day - and we're looking for people who are passionate about robotics, value ownership, and are excited to tackle difficult problems. Join us if you want to move beyond digital intelligence and put intelligence into motion.

About the team and the role:

Looking for high energy, ambitious, inquisitive individual to help facilitate any and all lab operations for Mind Robotics. Communicating and working directly with engineering to provide assistance in any capacity and anticipate and prevent blockers. Meanwhile building and maintaining the lab facility.

Responsibilities:

• Assemble, commission, and maintain lab equipment, machines, test rigs, and tooling
• Work with the development team on tasks, goals, and benchmarks — including calling out when an approach won't survive the shop floor
• Partner with engineering to scope and fulfill build requests, and flag equipment or capability needs before they become bottlenecks
• Support data collection efforts with feedback on test setups and practical alternatives when a plan meets reality
• Diagnose and repair tooling, equipment, and prototype hardware — mechanical, electrical, and everything in between
• Document everything: build procedures, maintenance records, test setups, and inventory

Requirements:

• 3+ years of hands-on technical experience in a lab, prototyping/pre-production, manufacturing, or field service environment
• Standing, walking, bending, and kneeling for extended periods
• Working knowledge of electrical fundamentals — reading schematics, wiring and harnessing, using a multimeter and basic bench instruments
• Comfort with hand and power tools, and mechanical assembly of precision hardware
• Strong diagnostic instincts: able to isolate a problem systematically rather than swapping parts until it works
• Clear communication, verbal and written — you can explain what you found to an engineer and write it down so the next person understands it
• Proficiency with Google Workspace and other digital recording/tracking tools
• Inquisitive - someone who asks why and how, and isn't afraid to speak up.

Nice to have:

• Soldering and rework experience (through-hole and SMD)
• Familiarity with robotics, motion control, actuators, or sensor integration
• Experience with 3D printing, machining, or fabrication
• Basic scripting or comfort with test automation tooling
• Experience with CAD
