About Proception

At Proception, we’re building the future of humanoid robotics — starting with the most dexterous robotic hands ever made. Our mission is to give robots human-level manipulation skills through world-class hardware and AI training data.

Role Overview

We’re looking for a Robotics Technician who’s passionate about building things that move. You’ll be hands-on assembling our robotic hands — putting together precision mechanical, electrical, and tendon-driven systems that form the core of our humanoid platform.

Responsibilities

  • Assemble mechanical, electrical, and cable/tendon subsystems of robotic hands
  • Perform testing, calibration, and troubleshooting of assemblies
  • Maintain clean, organized work areas and build documentation
  • Work closely with mechanical and electrical engineers to refine assembly procedures
  • Support prototype builds and small production runs

Qualifications

  • Experience with mechanical/electronic assembly or lab technician work
  • Skilled in using hand tools, soldering equipment, and test instruments
  • Strong attention to detail and patience working with small, delicate components
  • Ability to read simple assembly drawings or wiring diagrams
  • Bonus: experience with robotics, actuators, or mechatronics systems

Why Join Us

You’ll be part of a small, world-class team solving some of the hardest problems in robotics. We move fast, value craftsmanship, and make real things that work.

If you love working with your hands and want to help bring humanoid robots to life, we’d love to meet you.
