Assembly Technician I

Podium Automation is reimagining industrial control panel manufacturing through software-enabled design and automated fabrication. We're building technology to create a new industrial supply chain - reducing lead times for critical electrical equipment from months to days. We've raised over $23M from top-tier investors including Construct Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Transition Ventures, Sunflower Capital, Banter Capital, and SV Angel.

We are seeking an Assembly Technician I to join a nimble, fast-paced team at the front lines of our factory, building and testing industrial control panels. You will have the opportunity to work in a variety of different operations from enclosure modification through wiring through final testing. As Podium iterates and implements new technologies, you will work hand-in-hand with the engineering team to both operate and test the new methods and equipment, while providing feedback and suggestions to help continually improve our production process.

There are 4 values that all Podium employees are expected to demonstrate (albeit imperfectly):

• Win for the customer. We sit on the same side of the table as our customers - their wins are our wins. We’re building the vendor we always wished we had.

• Default to transparency. We believe in honesty, transparency, and kindness. It’s about how you get things done and not just what gets done.

• Speed is a feature. We move fast and take ownership. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

• Win and lose as a team. Individuals drive inputs, teams drive outputs. We celebrate success together but aren’t afraid to fail and iterate. We own outcomes together and don’t deflect blame.

• Mechanically inclined and experience doing light sheet metal modification work

• Attention to detail in following written instructions

• Understanding of electrical fundamentals (AC vs DC voltage, function of overcurrent protection devices, sizing of wiring)

• Proficient in Microsoft Office
