Job Description
Chirp is looking for an Assembly Technician to support the production of precision robotics components in a hands-on manufacturing environment.
This role is a good fit for someone who is detail-oriented, reliable, and comfortable working with their hands. The work may involve a mix of manual assembly, machine-assisted processes, automation support, inspection, and general production tasks. The exact responsibilities may vary day-to-day as we continue building out our manufacturing processes.
You do not need extensive prior experience, but you should be comfortable learning new tools, following instructions carefully, and taking pride in clean, consistent work.
The ideal candidate is someone who enjoys building things, working with their hands, and being part of a fast-moving manufacturing team. We are looking for someone who can do careful, consistent work while also staying flexible as priorities change.
This is not a narrow assembly-line position. You may be supporting different parts of the production process depending on what the team needs, from preparing parts and using hand tools to running equipment, assisting automated processes, and helping with final assembly.
There is room to grow for someone who wants to take on more responsibility. As the team expands, this role could develop into more advanced assembly, equipment operation, quality control, process improvement, or production leadership responsibilities.
Compensation:
$18 - $25 hourly
Responsibilities:
Assemble precision components using hand tools, fixtures, and production equipment
Support automated and semi-automated assembly processes
Prepare, organize, and handle small parts and materials
Perform detailed tasks such as soldering support, wire stripping, pressing, machine loading, balancing, and final assembly
Load, run, and monitor production equipment such as winding machines, presses, and other shop tools
Inspect work visually and with basic measuring tools to ensure quality
Follow work instructions, process steps, and safety procedures
Keep the work area clean, organized, and ready for production
Track completed work and move parts through the correct production steps
Communicate issues, defects, missing materials, or process improvements to the team
Support general manufacturing, assembly, and shop needs as required
Qualifications:
Experience with mechanical assembly, production work, robotics, electronics, soldering, wiring, or shop tools is helpful
Comfortable using basic hand tools and working with small parts
Strong attention to detail and ability to follow step-by-step instructions
Reliable, organized, and able to stay focused on repetitive or detailed tasks
Willingness to learn new equipment and processes
Ability to work safely around tools, machines, and automation equipment
Prior experience in manufacturing is a plus, but not required
