Pickle Robot Company

You would commission and configure assembled robots, run acceptance tests, document results, and escalate failures while following established procedures and safety protocols. | The role seeks an electrical, mechanical, robotics, or related degree or equivalent experience, comfort with test tools and technical procedures, clear documentation, and foundational CLI knowledge. | About Us At Pickle Robot, we're on a mission to automate global supply chains with Physical AI. Our robots work alongside warehouse teams to unload trucks and containers — one of the toughest, most understaffed jobs in logistics — making the work safer, faster, and more efficient for the people doing it. Loading trucks comes next, followed by the Dill Autonomy Engine: generalized autonomy that will eventually orchestrate robots across entire logistics processes. We’re looking for a Junior Manufacturing Test Engineer to join our Manufacturing Test Engineering team and support the commissioning, configuration, and final acceptance testing of our robotic systems. This is an entry-level, hands-on role—you’ll execute defined test and commissioning procedures on the floor, working closely with senior engineers and technicians as you build toward owning test processes independently. What You’ll Do • Execute commissioning procedures on assembled robots per defined work instructions, including device configuration, calibration, and functional validation • Load production software and customer-specific configurations onto units per established procedures • Carry out Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) procedures and record results accurately • Flag test failures, calibration issues, or unexpected results with enough detail for senior engineers to act on • Keep test and commissioning records complete, accurate, and current • Learn and follow safety protocols, especially around electrical systems, robotic motion, and emergency stop validation • Work alongside senior Test Engineers and Manufacturing Engineering to understand the “why” behind each test step, not just the “how” What You'll Bring • Bachelor’s or Associate’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a related field — or equivalent hands-on experience • Comfortable working with test equipment, basic electrical measurement tools, and following detailed technical procedures • Strong attention to detail — this role is as much about catching when something doesn’t look right as it is about executing steps correctly • Clear and methodical written and verbal communication, especially for documenting test results and escalating issues • Foundational knowledge of command-line interfaces (CLI) and text editors • Willingness to learn the breadth of robotics-specific systems (networking, firmware, pneumatics) on the job — prior robotics experience is a plus, not a requirement • Aptitude for hands-on technical work with complex electro-mechanical systems • Inclination towards proactive process improvements • Frequent standing, walking, bending, and kneeling required; occasional lifting of equipment weighing up to 40 pounds • Comfortable in a fast-paced, hands-on manufacturing environment • Scripting experience to automate commissioning steps preferred Pay at Pickle At Pickle Robot Company, we believe transparency builds trust. The salary range listed here is provided in accordance with Massachusetts law and reflects what we reasonably and in good faith expect to offer for this role. We often consider candidates at different levels of seniority, and final compensation will reflect the level at which a candidate is hired, along with factors like experience and location.

Loading trucks comes next, followed by the Dill Autonomy Engine: generalized autonomy that will eventually orchestrate robots across entire logistics processes. We're looking for a hands-on Manufacturing Operations Manager to run production of our robotic systems and own our MES (Manufacturing Execution System) implementation — ideally with Tulip. You'll be on the floor daily, understand the build process for complex robotic hardware, and directly configure and deploy digital workflows that replace paper-based processes, giving the business real-time production visibility. \n What You'll Do Manufacturing Operations Manage day-to-day operations for production/assembly of robotic systems (arms, cabinets, end effectors, and related subassemblies) Understand mechanical assembly, wiring/harnessing, electro-mechanical integration, and functional test steps well enough to troubleshoot directly with technicians Lead root cause analysis on build defects, quality escapes, and process deviations Own production scheduling, capacity planning, and staffing for your area Drive continuous improvement (Lean/Six Sigma) across assembly lines and test stations Partner with mechanical/electrical/manufacturing engineering on new product introductions (NPI), ensuring assembly processes and MES workflows are designed in from the start Manage and develop a team of technicians/assemblers, including performance reviews and coaching MES Implementation & Ownership Lead the implementation, configuration, and rollout of MES software Build and maintain digital work instructions, operator apps, and andon/alert workflows, and data collection stations within the MES platform Integrate MES with test equipment, torque tools, scanners, and fixtures to capture real-time production data (cycle time, first-pass yield, scrap, downtime reasons) Train assemblers, technicians, and supervisors on new digital workflows; drive adoption and resolve resistance to change Build dashboards and reporting from MES data to give leadership visibility into production performance and traceability (especially serialized component/subassembly tracking) What You'll Bring 5+ years in manufacturing operations, ideally within robotics, complex electro-mechanical assembly, or similar high-mix/precision hardware manufacturing Demonstrated experience implementing an MES system from the ground up — not just using one already in place. Tulip experience strongly preferred; will consider comparable platforms Comfortable being on the floor daily — not a desk-only role Understanding of OEE, first-pass yield, downtime tracking, and how to translate shop-floor data into actionable improvement Strong people leadership skills, including experience managing technicians/assemblers Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, or related field (or equivalent hands-on experience) Preferred: Lean/Six Sigma certification \n $120,700 - $155,700 a year \n Pay at Pickle At Pickle Robot Company, we believe transparency builds trust.
