About the role
About Loombotic
Loombotic is the SendCutSend of wire harnesses. Harnesses are inside almost every piece of hardware - robots, aircraft, defense systems, industrial machines - but they're still built by hand, with 6-12 week lead times that stall entire products. We're changing that by building our own instant-quoting software and our own manufacturing line - the robots, vision systems, and tooling that automate work the industry still does by hand. The result: custom harnesses designed, built, and shipped in about a week. Teams building robotics, aerospace, and advanced thermal and data-center hardware rely on us to get custom cables in days, not months.
We don't buy our factory off the shelf - we design and build the machines, fixtures, and tooling that make automated harness production possible. That's what this role does.
The role
This is a role where you own whole machines, not just parts. You'll design the mechanical systems that build harnesses - mechanisms, end effectors, fixtures, tooling - and then integrate motion, controls, and our vision/robotics systems into a machine that actually runs on the floor. You'll take problems from a blank Onshape document through prototyping, bring-up, and debugging, working shoulder-to-shoulder with robotics, controls, and the technicians running the line.
We're hiring for hunger, fundamentals, and a track record of building real things - not years on a resume. Whether you're a recent grad who's been building robots in your garage or a seasoned machine builder who wants more ownership, what matters is that you've actually built things and want to own machines end-to-end. Everyone here gets real mentorship and a steep growth curve.
Problems you'll get to solve
A few of the problems you'd actually work on:
-
Design machines and end effectors that handle limp, variable wire and tiny connectors: the parts the industry still says can't be automated
