The Debug Project at Verily is focused on enhancing mosquito production systems, release, and monitoring, which includes support for field and partner sites. To facilitate this initiative, we are seeking an Electro-Mechanical Technician with a strong background in automated systems, precision robotics, and manufacturing. As part of a dynamic team comprising mosquito biologists, software engineers, and automation experts, the technician will play a crucial role in developing innovative solutions to mitigate the impact of mosquito-borne diseases. In this role, the Electro-Mechanical Technician will be responsible for building and maintaining quality systems for all processes and products. This includes the assembly, deployment, and maintenance of Debug technology across various global release programs, ensuring that products are effective, efficient, and consistently of high quality at all sites. The technician will oversee the build-out and maintenance of large-scale automated mass rearing facilities, as well as the industrial automation equipment operating within these facilities. The work will encompass everything from early prototypes to final production builds, making it essential for the technician to have a comprehensive understanding of both mechanical and electrical systems. The position requires a proactive approach to problem-solving, particularly in diagnosing and troubleshooting automated robotic systems that involve complex mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and fluidic components. The technician will also be expected to perform maintenance on robots, independently resolving issues as they arise and taking steps to prevent future failures. Additionally, the technician will assist project management with renovations of manufacturing spaces, ensuring that technical requirements for power, air, and water distribution are met. This role will involve a minimum of 15% travel for the purpose of repairing, retrofitting, or deploying systems globally.
