Electrical Assembly Technician

Ghost Robotics

Philadelphia, PA • On-site

$60K - $85K/yr

Full-time

Re-posted 7 days ago

Job description

Ghost Robotics is the industry leader in legged robotic systems that help customers solve complex operational, national security, and technical challenges to save lives, reduce harm, and improve outcomes.
In this role, you will build, inspect, and repair the custom cable assemblies, harnesses, and electronics that go into our robots. This is a hands-on bench role on a small team. You execute to documented work instructions and IPC acceptance standards, you catch problems early, and you give engineering the feedback from the floor that makes the next build easier and more reliable. You are the person who makes sure what leaves the bench is right.
This is a build-and-repair role, not a design role. You will partner closely with the engineer who owns the designs and procedures, and your bench-level input directly shapes how those designs evolve.
Key Duties
  • Assemble and terminate custom cable and wire harness assemblies to documented work instructions and IPC/WHMA-A-620 acceptance criteria.
  • Read and interpret schematics, wiring diagrams, and harness drawings.
  • Crimp, solder, and pot connectors using calibrated tooling; perform pull-testing and continuity verification.
  • Perform QC and incoming/in-process inspection on cable assemblies and robot electronics against documented procedures.
  • Debug and repair RMA electrical subassemblies and custom PCBAs to IPC-7711/7721; document failure symptoms and findings clearly so engineering can drive root-cause and corrective action.
  • Provide DFM and assembly-ability feedback to engineering from the bench (where a design is hard to build, fragile, or error-prone).
  • Flag component shortages, fit issues, and supply roadblocks to engineering and supply chain early, before they stall a build.
  • Maintain tools, fixtures, calibration logs, and an ESD-safe workstation.

Requirements
  • 2 years minimum experience at an established contract manufacturer or product company in electrical assembly.
  • IPC J-STD-001 certification (soldered electrical and electronic assemblies).
  • IPC/WHMA-A-620 certification or equivalent hands-on experience (cable and wire harness assembly). Given that custom cable work is the core of this role, this is as central as J-STD-001.
  • Experience reading schematics, wiring diagrams, and harness drawings.
  • Hands-on crimp tooling and crimp pull-testing experience.
  • Hands-on PCBA debugging and repair.
  • Comfortable with standard test and inspection equipment: DMM, continuity tester, and basic oscilloscope use.
  • Proper ESD handling discipline.
  • Familiarity with assembly documentation and the ability to follow, mark up, and improve work instructions.

Additional Experience a Plus
  • IPC-7711/7721 certification (rework, modification, and repair). Strongly preferred given the RMA repair scope.
  • Experience building and testing to IP67/IP68 ingress-protection requirements.
  • Familiarity with Lemo 0M and Harwin M80 signal contacts.
  • Familiarity with Harwin M80 and Harting D-Sub power contacts.
  • Experience with custom cable housings and potting.
  • Experience with communication cable solutions: USB 2.0/3.0/3.1, Ethernet Cat5/6, and coax for RF communications and high-throughput data transfer.
  • Familiarity with EMI testing and performance improvements.

Minimum Education
Associate's degree in electrical engineering or a similar discipline, or equivalent hands-on experience paired with the relevant IPC certifications.
Location
Philadelphia, PA (no remote candidates considered at this time).
Travel
No Travel Required. Opportunities for Domestic and International Travel are available.
Compensation
Competitive base, full benefits and highly motivating equity incentive package. Flexible time-off policy. Focus on output
and ability to work with a stellar team of interdisciplinary functions.
Background Check
Clear standard background checks, pre-hire, post hire and anytime during employment as required.
Residency Requirements
Permanent Residency Required.
Physical Requirements
Prolonged periods of standing, sitting at a desk and working on a computer.
Must be able to lift 20 pounds. Assistive equipment available
Salary Description
$60,000 - 85,000
