Job description

Assembly Technician
Oakland, CA
Full-time - In Person
Energy is the binding constraint on human progress. Solar and storage are the lowest cost sources of new generation, but the conventional project delivery model has not changed in 30 years and deployment cannot keep pace with demand.
Planted is the execution layer between a parcel of land and a powered facility. We digitize sites, optimize designs, and deploy robots to build the lowest cost and fastest new power systems at the speed of manufacturing.
We're expanding our team of ambitious, curious, and hands-on engineers and operators who want to accelerate that transition. Come take ownership of large parts of our product, company, and business development as we help power the world with 100% clean and abundant energy.

  • Experience fabricating with hand tools, drill press, mill, lathe, welding, etc.
  • Able to follow assembly instructions and documentation with precision
  • Strong communication skills to convey information to engineering
  • Hands-on aptitude, strong ownership mentality, and resourcefulness
  • Forklift or heavy equipment certification a plus - training available
  • Located in the SF Bay Area or able to relocate, and able to be in-person 5 days a week with flexible starting times for commute optimization

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • Prior experience in a robotics, automotive, aerospace, or industrial assembly environment
  • Basic computer skills for reading BOMs, drawings, task management, and documentation
  • A track record of organization and attention to detail

*A note on qualifications: Many people only apply for jobs if they believe they can perform every task in the job description. We are most interested in finding the best candidate for the job and will consider equivalent combinations of knowledge, skills, education, and experience to meet minimum qualifications. If you are interested in applying, we encourage you to think broadly about your background and skill set for the role.
PHYSICAL AND SENSORY REQUIREMENTS
  • Full-time active work in an industrial warehouse performing mechanical assembly and fabrication
  • Frequent lifting, standing, and use of hand and shop tools
  • Construction project site visits

What We Offer

  • Stock options
  • Medical, vision, dental, and other benefits
  • Pre-tax commuter benefits
  • 401(k)

  • You are biased towards action and focus on the vital work that drives the most impact
  • You prioritize the physical and psychological safety of yourself and those around you
