Electronics Technician

Your New Role and Team

Sanctuary AI, a company on a mission to deliver production-ready Physical AI to industry today, is looking to hire a skilled and motivated Electronics Technician to join our Electrical team. Reporting to the Electrical Lead, you’ll assemble, modify, troubleshoot, and test the electronics that power our robotic systems.

This hands-on role spans fine surface-mount PCB assembly and rework, complex cable harnesses, electrical panels, and intricate electromechanical assemblies. You’ll turn engineering requests into working hardware and collaborate with engineers to improve designs for assembly, testing, and serviceability.

Our Success Criteria

• Within your first 90 days, independently complete core assembly, rework, and test tasks to our workmanship standards.

• Take technical requests from initial discussion through implementation and verification, clarifying requirements and selecting appropriate materials, tools, and methods.

• Work with electrical, mechanical, and production teams to troubleshoot hardware, support integration, and provide practical design feedback.

• Over your first year, improve build quality and repeatability through work instructions, test fixtures, and solutions to recurring assembly problems.

• Maintain an organized electronics lab, including ESD practices, tools, component inventory, and procurement.

Your Experience

• Diploma in electronics, electrical engineering technology, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

• Demonstrated PCBA assembly and fine-pitch component rework experience under a microscope; experience with 0201 components is strongly preferred.

• Ability to interpret schematics, wiring diagrams, assembly drawings, bills of materials, and datasheets.

• Practical familiarity with IPC standards for electronic assembly, rework, and cable/harness workmanship; relevant certification is an asset.

Additional Experience We Value

• Electrical or control-panel assembly, including component mounting, wiring, grounding, and cable management.

• Reading, creating, or updating panel layouts and wiring diagrams, particularly using EPLAN or similar tools.

• Using Altium Designer or another ECAD tool to navigate layouts and support assembly or rework.

• Building test fixtures and using diagnostic software or basic test scripts in prototype or low-volume production.

Skills

• Fine soldering, hot-air rework, trace modifications, jumper installation, and inspection.

• Component-level troubleshooting using multimeters, oscilloscopes, bench power supplies, and test procedures.

• Wire preparation, crimping, connector assembly, pin extraction, and cable termination.

  Clear documentation of build changes, test results, faults, and repairs.

Traits

• Takes ownership, shows initiative, and follows through on technical problems.

• Precise, organized, and adaptable as priorities change.

• Communicates clearly, collaborates constructively, and enjoys learning new skills.

About Sanctuary

Founded in 2018, Sanctuary AI builds robots and a novel control system that integrates symbolic logic and reasoning with data-driven robot foundation models. We use our robots to collect vision, audio, touch and proprioception data from the perspective of the robot while they perform real-world work tasks. We use that data to train multimodal robot foundation models. Because our systems are vertically integrated, we can design, deploy and refine at scale. Our mission is to create the world's first human-like intelligence in general-purpose robots.
