Standard Bots is a New York-based robotics company building AI-powered six-axis robot arms designed and manufactured in the United States. Founded to make industrial automation more accessible and affordable, Standard Bots takes a vertically integrated approach — developing its own hardware, software, vision system, and electronics — so manufacturers of all sizes can deploy robots without specialized expertise or coding skills. Standard Bots' robots are trusted by organizations ranging from independent machine shops to NASA and Lockheed Martin. Standard Bots is the largest U.S. industrial robotics company by robots shipped and one of the fastest-growing in the industry.
This role is onsite 5 days/week onsite in our South East PA shop
As a Technician on the Implementation team, you are the hands-on builder behind Standard Bots' integrated turn-key systems. You'll assemble and wire robotic cells in our shop, travel to customer sites to support machine installations alongside Automation Engineers, and serve as the first point of contact when deployed systems need attention. You're equally at home at a workbench wiring an electrical panel as you are on a factory floor aligning a robot installation. You take pride in clean work, follow safety procedures without being told, and communicate clearly when something doesn't look right.
• Assemble robotic automation cells from mechanical drawings and BOMs (bill of materials), including frame assembly, fixture mounting, and component installation
• Wire electrical panels, junction boxes, and field devices per engineering schematics and NEC standards
• Route cable, conduit, and pneumatic lines within automation cells to drawing specifications
• Perform pre-ship checks: continuity testing, sensor verification, and documentation of as-built deviations
• Travel to customer sites to install robotic automation systems alongside Automation Engineers
• Coordinate equipment rigging, anchoring, and utility connections with customer facilities teams
• Commission mechanical and electrical systems on-site: equipment integration, alignment, cable dressing, and sensor setup
• Support FAT/SAT processes and work through installation punch lists to closure
• Serve as the primary first responder for customer support requests during warranty and post-deployment periods
• Diagnose and resolve mechanical and electrical issues remotely or on-site; escalate
software-level issues to Automation Engineers with clear documentation
• Log support cases, capture symptoms and steps taken, and follow through until issues are resolved
• Contribute field observations back to engineering to help prevent recurring issues
• Maintain shop workspaces, inventory, and tooling in clean, organized condition
• Complete build records and update drawings with as-built changes
• Support the development and refinement of build procedures, wiring standards, and installation checklists
• 1–3 years of hands-on experience in electrical or mechanical assembly, industrial installation, or field service
• Demonstrated ability to read and work from wiring schematics, mechanical drawings, and BOMs
• Experience working in a manufacturing, fabrication, or hands-on technical environment
• Proficiency in wire termination, panel wiring, and reading electrical schematics
• Mechanical assembly skills: hand tools, power tools, fastener torque, and basic fixture alignment
• Ability to interpret BOMs, wiring diagrams, and assembly drawings accurately
• Basic troubleshooting with a multimeter and standard test equipment
• Comfortable using computers for logging support tickets, updating documentation, and coordinating remote troubleshooting
• Hands-on and self-motivated: you take ownership of your work and your workspace
• Comfortable working independently in the shop and at customer sites; willing to travel
• Clear communicator: you document your work accurately, flag issues early, and loop in the right people
• Safety-conscious: you follow procedures, use PPE, and look out for your teammates
• Experience with robot systems, cobots, or industrial automation equipment
• OSHA 10 course or equivalent safety training
• Electrical apprenticeship, vocational training, or associate's degree in an electromechanical field
• Experience with pneumatic systems and component installation
• Familiarity with reading and interpreting 2D CAD or SolidWorks drawings
• Willingness to travel for customer site installations (estimated 25–50% travel)
