Our vision

Weave is making personal robots that are built for the home and shipping soon. Our robot, Isaac , will autonomously fold laundry, tidy up messes, and care for your home while you're away.

Responsibilities

  • CNC machining – set up, run, and maintain 3-/5-axis mills and lathes; choose tooling, workholding and work setups

  • CNC maintenance- Perform regular CNC machine maintenance and inspection

  • 3-D printing – operate FDM/SLA printers, post-process parts, and validate fit & finish

  • Robot build & rework – assemble electromechanical subsystems, integrate wiring, and bring full robots to life

  • Troubleshooting & repair – diagnose mechanical failures, swap components, and document fixes

  • Rapid iteration – work shoulder-to-shoulder with engineers, giving real-time feedback on DFM and tolerances

  • Shop stewardship – keep our prototype lab organized, safe, and stocked with consumables

Requirements

  • Hands-on experience running CNC equipment or industrial 3-D printers (2+ years preferred)

  • CAM/CAD fluency (Fusion 360, SolidWorks)

  • Ability to read mechanical drawings, GD&T, and basic wiring diagrams

  • Pro at hand tools, fasteners, soldering, and safe shop practices

  • Maker mindset: you iterate quickly, keep clear notes, balance process with agility in a fast-moving environment, and own quality from first chip to final assembly

  • Eligible to work in the U.S. and available to work on-site in San Francisco

  • Bonus skills

  • Ability to manufacture high complexity parts and maintain tight tolerances for mating components

  • Experience in inspecting precision-machined parts using manual tools (calipers, micrometers, dial indicators, height gauges) and automated systems, ensuring conformance to tight tolerances and GD&T requirements

  • Hands-on experience fabricating composite structures combining materials such as carbon fiber, fiberglass, and aluminum; including layup, bonding, mechanical fastening, and post-processing.

  • Experience with building and working with/around robots

  • Basic PCB re-work, crimping, or harness fabrication

  • OSHA 10 or other safety certifications
