About Ultra
Ultra builds industrial AI robots that are working in the real world today. Our robots automate mission-critical warehouse labor end-to-end, starting with e-commerce order packaging. We deploy fast, learn from real production data, and iterate aggressively. We already have multiple revenue-generating robots operating in U.S. warehouses, and are now scaling toward hundreds of deployments over the next couple years. Our goal is simple: build the most advanced, most productive industrial AI robots on the planet.
About the Role
Join Ultra as our first dedicated Assembly Technician and help us scale from prototypes to production—building 10+ AI-native industrial robots per month, with aggressive growth planned for the months ahead.
You'll work directly with our engineering team at our Brooklyn headquarters, taking ownership of the complete assembly process for our fleet of warehouse automation robots. This role is critical: you'll establish our production quality standards and processes as we scale from tens to hundreds of deployed systems.
What You'll Do
Core Responsibilities
- Build complete robot systems from fabricated parts, PCBs, motors, sensors, and compute modules
- Fabricate and integrate custom wiring harnesses, including soldering, crimping, and professional cable management
- Ensure assembly quality standards: proper strain relief, correct torque specifications, clean wire routing, and reliable connections
- Perform functional testing and verification of assembled systems before deployment
- Document assembly issues and recommend process improvements as we iterate on designs
- Support occasional deployment, troubleshooting, and field service as needed
What We're Looking For
Required
- High school diploma or equivalent
- 2+ years of hands-on assembly experience in electromechanical systems (automotive, industrial equipment, robotics, or similar)
- Demonstrated proficiency with soldering and cable fabrication
- Strong attention to detail and quality control mindset—you take pride in work that's built to last
- Comfortable with hand tools, power tools, and assembly fixtures
- Manual dexterity for both precision work and general assembly
- Ability to regularly lift 50+ pounds
- Basic computer skills (email, documentation, internet)
Preferred
- Technical degree or certification (automotive technology, electronics, mechatronics, etc.)
- Experience with root-cause analysis and troubleshooting in engineering production environments
- Background in quality control or process improvement initiatives
- Strong interest in tinkering and making cool things
- Familiarity with torque specifications, fastener types, and mechanical best practices
Expected Compensation
$65,000 - $90,000/annual salary + equity + benefits
This compensation range may be inclusive of several career levels at Ultra and will be narrowed during the interview process based on the candidate’s experience and qualifications. Adjustments outside of this range may be considered for candidates whose qualifications significantly differ from those outlined in the job description.
