Senior NPI Build Engineer

Fulfil is a well-funded, rapidly growing, and inclusive company that has developed a custom automation robotics system to pick and pack online orders of groceries and other consumables, bringing delight and a value proposition to consumers that doesn’t exist today. Additionally, its unique design and technology is purpose-built to solve today’s environmental problems in the world’s food supply chain. Founded by a team with previous startup success and backed by top-tier VCs, we are committed to reducing waste, improving environmental impact, and reducing emissions with truly new technology. Our first commercial product launch with the technology was in summer 2022.

We can’t do it alone -- we’re seeking curious, capable, passionate team members motivated by the opportunity to create lasting impact on the world through their work. This role offers ample growth opportunities while working side-by-side with an impassioned, multi-disciplinary team spanning mechanical design, software, computer vision, systems integration, and ops to design and operationalize world-changing technology.

Your Responsibilities

As a Senior NPI Build Engineer, you will help us build early revisions of mechanical structure, automation assemblies, control cabinets and mobile robots. You’ll provide engineering with DFM feedback, draft assembly guidelines for our installation teams, and provide on site deployment support for new design elements. You’ll be working side-by-side with a motivated team to bring our innovative and exciting new technology to reality.

In this role you will:

• Work with engineers and technicians to build prototypes and early revisions of our products, both at our headquarters and customer sites

• Working understanding of basic mechanical and electrical engineering principles, ideally experience with motors and sensors
• Ability to lead small teams to achieve schedule goals
• Strong communication skills (verbal and written)
• Familiarity with design-for-assembly practices
• Ability to travel domestically. Most work local to Mountain View, but during deployments, could be as much as 75% remote.

What we’d love to see

• Experience developing SOEs (Sequence of Events) and detailed assembly instructions
• Able to navigate complex assemblies in Solidworks, design simple fixtures, understanding of GD&T
• Experience doing PCB rework, ideally some formal training or familiarity with IPC-610
• Experience building cables, ideally some formal training or familiarity with IPC-620
• Care for local and global communities, and desire to make an impact through technology
• Not afraid of robots

• A PTO policy where we encourage and expect all employees to take time to enjoy life outside of work

• Discount on groceries from our store

• The salary range for this position is 120,000-$150,000 plus stock and benefits. Pay within the range is based on candidate experience, job-specific skills, and education/training.
