Robotics Technician - Expressions of Interest

The Bigger Picture

At Andromeda, we're building the social intelligence layer for humanoid robots - technology that allows robots to understand people, build relationships and become a meaningful part of everyday life.

Our first robot, Abi, is already doing this in aged care and healthcare, where she brings conversation, companionship and engagement to people every day.

Now we're scaling from early deployments into a platform that can operate across thousands of real-world environments. We're looking for individuals who want to tackle hard problems across robotics and AI, and help define what it means for robots to live and interact alongside people. .

Our Values

• Empathy - Kindness and compassion are at the heart of everything we do.
• Play - Play sharpens focus. It keeps us curious, fast and obsessed with the craft.
• Never Settle - A relentless ambition, bias toward action, and uncomfortable levels of curiosity.
• Tenacity - Tenacious under pressure, we assume chaos and stay in motion to adapt and progress.
• Unity - Different minds. Shared mission. No passengers.

Your Role in the Action

As a Robotics Technician at Andromeda Robotics, you’ll be hands-on with the hardware and systems that bring Abi to life. You’ll assemble, test, and maintain complex robotic subsystems—from actuators and motors to sensors and embedded electronics—making sure everything works together seamlessly. You’ll support the engineering team by troubleshooting issues on the floor, running diagnostic tests, wiring and soldering components, and keeping our robots operating at their best. This is a deeply practical role: you’ll spend your time in the lab and workshop, building, fixing, and iterating, ensuring Abi is reliable, safe, and ready for deployment in the real world.

How You’ll Make an Impact

• Assemble, calibrate, and test robotic subsystems including actuators, joints, and sensor arrays.
• Perform diagnostics, troubleshooting, and repairs across electrical, mechanical, and embedded systems.
• Support engineers in validating new hardware and software integrations.
• Maintain robots used for development, demos, and customer deployments, ensuring uptime and reliability.
• Document processes, test results, and maintenance logs to feed into continuous improvement.
• Work closely with mechanical, electrical, and software engineers to solve integration challenges on the ground.

What We Are Looking For

• Diploma, trade qualification, or Bachelor’s degree in Mechatronics, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or related fieldor equivalent hands-on experience.
• 2+ years of experience in a robotics, mechatronics, or hardware workshop environment.
• Strong practical skills in assembly, wiring, soldering, and troubleshooting electro-mechanical systems.
• Comfortable using lab tools such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, and diagnostic equipment.
• Ability to read and interpret technical documentation.
• A structured, methodical approach to testing and problem-solving.

Bonus Qualifications

• Experience with robotic actuators (e.g., Dynamixel, brushless motors) and sensor calibration.
• Familiarity with Linux and ROS environments.
• Exposure to rapid prototyping tools such as 3D printing and CNC machining.
• Hands-on experience supporting robots in customer or field environments.
