Engineering Technician

Have hands-on experience with mechanical assembly or hardware builds

Have some exposure to basic electrical work (wiring, connectors, harnesses)

Are detail-oriented and take pride in clean, precise work

Are comfortable using tools and working with physical systems

Catch problems early and don’t ignore small issues

Like working with your hands and seeing tangible results

Can follow structured processes but also improve them

Are reliable, consistent, and move with urgency

Enjoy being part of a fast-moving, build-heavy environment

Like being the person who makes things actually come together

This is not a purely theoretical or design-focused role

This is not a robotics software or controls engineering position

This is not a deep electrical engineering role

This is not a passive “follow instructions only” job

Instead, this role sits on the front lines of building real robotic systems — where mechanical precision and clean electrical work directly impact what ships.

As we scale, this role grows with the complexity and volume of our builds.

You’ll have the opportunity to take on more ownership across build processes, quality systems, and production workflows — helping shape how our robots are assembled at scale.

If you want to work hands-on with cutting-edge robotics and be directly responsible for bringing systems to life, this role has real impact.

At Generalist, we are on a mission to make general-purpose robots a reality. We believe the industries and homes of the future will depend on humans and machines working together in new ways. Robots can help us build more and get more done.

We build embodied foundation models, starting with a focus on dexterity. This requires advancing the frontiers of data, models, and hardware, to enable robots to intelligently interact with the physical world.

The company embraces both large-scale AI and robotics as core to its DNA. Our team of researchers, roboticists, and company builders come from OpenAI, Boston Dynamics, Google DeepMind, and other frontier labs—with a track record of shipping AI breakthroughs. Before Generalist, we pioneered large embodied multimodal models and vision-language-action models (PaLM-E, RT-2 , Gemini Robotics ), launched and scaled ChatGPT and GPT-4 to hundreds of millions of users, engineered the foundations of autonomous driving, built next-generation robots ( Atlas , Spot , Stretch ) and pushed the limits of what they can do (from parkour to manipulation , and testing robustness ).
