About the role

This role is ideal for someone hands-on, reliable, collaborative, and excited to work around real hardware every day.
This role is based in San Francisco, CA.
Work from CAD models, drawings, and engineering input to produce accurate components using detailed engineering prints and advanced GD&T callouts.

Droyd builds autonomous robotic systems to automate manual work for enterprises.
We design the hardware, write the control stack, and deploy robots that operate in real environments.
Join us and help build hardware that ships.
Prototype Technician at Droyd, you'll support the day-to-day operation of the prototype lab and help keep hardware work moving.
You will take ownership of precision machined parts from start to finish, while also providing crucial cross-functional team support by assisting with 3D printing workflows and assembly tasks as needed.
You'll oversee shop organization, maintain machine readiness, coordinate material handling, and execute the practical tasks that keep prototyping and production efficient.
This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We're an in-person company. We build faster that way.
Machine parts and fixtures to support prototype and production hardware.
Support iteration on mechanical designs with strong attention to tolerances, tooling, and manufacturability, providing actionable design-for-manufacturability (DFM) feedback to engineers.
Develop efficient CAM programs utilizing Fusion 360 (or other industry-standard software) to define tooling strategies, cutting parameters, and toolpaths for complex geometries.

Exposure to other shop workflows such as basic 3D printing, laser cutting, or post-processing operations.
Experience programming or operating CMMs or working with advanced metrology platforms.
Experience with TIG welding, advanced sheet metal fabrication, or other structural joining processes.
Experience documenting data (inspection logs, nonconformances, setup sheets) within an MES, PLM, or ERP system.
If we do this right, robots stop being prototypes and start being infrastructure.
Has strong experience working with CNC machines and setting up CAM tool paths for 3-axis to 5-axis equipment (Fusion 360 proficiency preferred).

Droyd builds autonomous robotic systems that automate repetitive manual work in production environments.
Because our hardware team moves quickly, the machine shop and prototype lab are core to how we iterate and build.
The prototype team at Droyd supports both R&D and production.
The work ranges from one-off parts and fixtures to repeatable components that keep engineering moving.
We're an in-person company.
