Robotics Design Engineer Jobs in Green Bay, WI (NOW HIRING)

RC Mowers l We're Hiring

Engineering Technician

Full-Time | In-Person | Suamico, WI

We build full-size commercial autonomous robots that mow large properties without an operator in the seat. We also develop remote control mowers that have to navigate real terrain, work in wet grass and dust and heat.

We're hiring an Engineering Technician to be the person who turns a new concept into something real. You'll be the first person to build it, run it, break it, and report back - and your findings go straight into what gets built next.

THE JOB

You'll report to our Lead Engineer and work at the center of the development process - in the R&D build area, where concepts become real hardware.

Some weeks you're building prototypes or helping engineering develop ideas for our future products. Others you're running tests, chasing a failure mode, updating drawings, or writing a service procedure for something you just validated. The work shifts. What doesn't change is that your output goes directly into decisions about what gets built, fixed, or changed next.

We aren't looking for a degreed engineer - this is a hands on technician position. You need strong mechanical instincts, the ability to read a drawing and build from it, and the discipline to document what you find clearly enough that engineers and service techs can act on it.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Build prototypes, test fixtures, and subassemblies from drawings, sketches, or verbal direction

Run functional, durability, and validation tests - set up equipment, collect data, document findings

Create and operate bench tests for mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic subsystems

Help track down root causes when tests fail or machines come back broken from the field

Prepare test summaries, build notes, inspection reports, and issue reports for engineering

Review drawings for fit, function, and manufacturability based on what you see during builds

Write step-by-step service procedures and validate them by doing the actual repair

Make minor updates to drawings, assembly documentation, and bills of materials from engineering approved markups (we will teach you how)

Keep the R&D build area clean, highly organized, stocked, and ready to work

WHAT YOU BRING

Real hands-on mechanical or electrical experience working on actual equipment

Ability to read and interpret part drawings, assembly drawings, and schematics

Experience with hand tools, power tools, and diagnostic equipment

Strong troubleshooting instincts: you investigate why something failed, you don't just swap parts

You document clearly enough that engineers and techs can act on it without asking you to explain it

Comfortable managing multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment without losing track

Basic computer skills: spreadsheets, reports, and technical files using Microsoft Office products.

Bonus Points:

Experience with prototype equipment, off-road machinery, robotics, mowers, vehicles, or industrial equipment

CAD familiarity or hands-on drawing update experience

Hydraulic, electrical, mechanical, or control system experience

Experience building test fixtures or writing service procedures

Welding, fabrication, machining, or electrical harness work
