What you'll do

As an Assembly Technician, you will be hands-on at the heart of our manufacturing operation — bringing complex energy systems to life from raw components to finished assemblies. This is not a role for someone who wants to watch from the sidelines. You will own the quality and craftsmanship of every unit you build, directly impacting the speed at which we bring critical energy infrastructure online.

Where you'll work

This role will be based in our Houston office. You must be willing to work in the office full-time.

We're onsite because velocity matters when you're building physical infrastructure. Solving complex problems in real-time with Manufacturing, Engineering, and Finance leaders is how we move faster than a slow, antiquated industry.
