Contractor, Robotics Lab Technician
Your Impact at LILA
Lila's Next Gen Robotics team builds and integrates the robotic systems that power our development lab. As a contract Robotics Lab Technician, you will design, build, and integrate those systems, combining off-the-shelf components like robot arms, mobile bases, and sensors (cameras, lidars, and similar) into new configurations.
You will do real CAD design work, creating the mounts, fixtures, and adapters that let these components work together, then producing them through 3D printing and building them out by hand. You will also handle the electrical and controls work needed to wire everything up and get it running.
This is a practical, in-lab role for someone comfortable designing a solution and then getting hands-on with the robot.
What You'll Be Building
- Design parts, mounts, fixtures, and adapters in CAD to integrate off-the-shelf robotic components
- Take measurements, iterate on fit and function, and produce parts via 3D printing and light fabrication
- Assemble and integrate robotic hardware from your own designs or engineering drawings
- Wire and mount sensors, actuators, and control components, including cable routing and connector termination
- Configure motor controllers, I/O, and sensor inter
