As a Mechanical Build & Integration Technician at Waabi, you will assemble, integrate, and support the build of sensor, compute, and actuation hardware onto autonomous truck platforms. This role is hands-on and requires strong attention to detail, comfort working across mechanical, electrical, and fluid systems, and the ability to follow documented work instructions accurately and consistently. You will work closely with mechanical and electrical engineering teams to build vehicles, improve integration processes, identify quality issues, and help ensure that hardware is installed safely, correctly, and repeatably. This is an ideal role for someone who enjoys hands-on technical work, takes pride in high-quality builds, and wants to grow within a fast-moving autonomous vehicle hardware program.
You will...
Assemble and integrate mechanical systems, subassemblies, and hardware components onto vehicle platforms according to work instructions, drawings, checklists, and standard operating procedures
Perform mechanical assembly, sensor and actuator installation, bracket and mount fabrication support, fluid routing, and other hands-on build tasks
Support wiring, harness routing, and connector installation where mechanical and electrical integration intersect
Follow established quality checks and test procedures to verify that assemblies are complete, accurate, and functioning as intended
Work closely with mechanical and electrical engineering to clarify instructions, resolve build issues, and support program priorities
Identify and communicate documentation gaps, recurring build issues, part problems, and opportunities to improve integration quality or efficiency
Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area while properly handling tools, equipment, parts, and in-progress vehicle builds
Support troubleshooting, rework, and checkout activities during vehicle builds and integration cycles
Accurately document work completed, issues found, test results, and any deviations from standard procedures using PLM/document control tools
