Droyd builds autonomous robotic systems that automate repetitive manual work in production environments.
Because our hardware team moves quickly, the machine shop and prototype lab are core to how we iterate and build.
The prototype team at Droyd supports both R&D and production. The work ranges from one-off parts and fixtures to repeatable components that keep engineering moving.
About the Role
As a Prototype Technician at Droyd, you will support the build of robot hardware across prototyping, fabrication, and assembly. Working under the guidance of the Prototype Team Lead, you will execute the day-to-day 3D printing workflow, set up laser cutting operations, maintain lab organization, and ensure high-quality prototype components are delivered reliably.
This is a hands-on role for someone who can wear many hats across 3D printing, laser cutting, and electromechanical assembly. You won't just run equipment; you'll help make good decisions about print orientations, cutting parameters, and part setup based on how parts will actually be used. Beyond additive and laser fabrication, you will also contribute as an agile technician supporting robotic builds, mechanical rework, and general lab overflow tasks.
This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We're an in-person company. We build faster that way.
In This Role, You’ll
Execute the day-to-day operation of the 3D printing workflow, maintaining a fleet of printers (FDM, SLA, SLS) and managing print queues to hit engineering deadlines.
Prepare, process, and optimize print jobs, making smart setup choices regarding print orientation, infill strategy, and material selection based on part function.
Set up and operate CO2 and fiber laser cutters, establishing appropriate nesting and optimizing power, speed, and frequency parameters to cleanly cut or engrave various engineering substrates.
Perform post-processing operations including support removal, washing, curing, sanding, deburring, and preparing fabricated parts for assembly.
Inspect completed parts for dimensional accuracy, cosmetic quality, and geometric integrity using calipers, micrometers, and basic metrology tools before delivery.
Handle materials and inventory management, including the proper storage, drying, and care of filaments, resins, sheet stock, and hardware consumables to ensure maximum machine uptime.
Troubleshoot and maintain equipment, identifying process or print quality failures and performing routine calibration on lab machinery.
Collaborate closely with engineers and the prototype team to track incoming requests, identify fabrication bottlenecks, and flag design or print optimization issues early.
Maintain strong standards for safety, cleanliness, and lab care, following strict EHS protocols, including proper laser safety and ventilation standards, to keep the workspace organized.
Because we move fast, everyone on the floor pitches in. You will regularly step in to execute assembly work for small manufacturing runs, assist with facility setup tasks, and maintain lab organization to ensure the team remains agile and supported.
We’re Looking For Candidates Who
Has hands-on experience building hardware in a shop, lab, startup, or prototyping environment.
Has strong hands-on experience with 3D printing workflows, understanding that good printing requires technical judgment, not just uploading a file and pressing start.
Can work across multiple fabrication methods rather than only one specialty, making sound setup choices based on part function, tolerances, and assembly requirements.
Can read engineering drawings, CAD models, and schematics to execute builds carefully and precisely.
Is highly organized and detail-oriented, maintaining a clean, structured work area while keeping multiple machines and priorities running smoothly.
Is comfortable troubleshooting, tuning, and maintaining mechanical hardware and lab machinery.
Communicates well with engineers and fellow technicians, proactively flagging quality issues before they become downstream build problems.
Is physically capable of standing for long periods, wearing required PPE, and lifting up to 50 lbs.
Nice to Have
Experience setting up or operating CO2 or fiber laser cutting systems (on-the-job training will be provided for candidates who meet all other criteria).
Training or basic experience with machining processes (manual or CNC mills and lathes).
Familiarity with cable fabrication, harness assembly, or the ability to read basic wiring diagrams.
Experience in prototype-heavy environments such as robotics, aerospace, motorsports, or hardware startups.
Experience documenting data (build logs, print parameters, or process notes) within an MES, PLM, or tracking system.

Droyd builds autonomous robotic systems that automate repetitive manual work in production environments.
Because our hardware team moves quickly, the machine shop and prototype lab are core to how we iterate and build.
The prototype team at Droyd supports both R&D and production. The work ranges from one-off parts and fixtures to repeatable components that keep engineering moving.
About the Role
As the Prototype Team Lead at Droyd, you will manage day-to-day operations for the prototype lab while directing the workflow, capacity, and priorities of the technician team.
In this role, you will be establishing and developing the lab's operational workflows completely from the ground up. Because you are building these processes from scratch, you will be heavily hands-on from day one and directly owning precision machining setups, programming and running CNC equipment, fabricating fixtures, and closing the loop on in-process inspection.
As the lab's infrastructure matures, your focus will shift into a hybrid leadership and mentorship role. You will provide technical oversight, audit CAM programs, and coach junior machinists through complex CNC setups, workholding design, and quality verification. You will also work closely with 3D printing and electrical technicians, maintaining enough working familiarity with those disciplines to communicate effectively, track their work, and keep the lab moving as a single team.
This is an evolutionary leadership role in a fast-paced prototype and R&D environment where you will work directly with engineers to review advanced prints, provide design-for-manufacturability (DFM) feedback, and scale the team's long-term capabilities safely and efficiently.
This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We're an in-person company. We build faster that way.
In This Role, You’ll
Manage daily priorities, lab logistics, and capacity for the Machinist, 3D Printing, and Electrical Technicians, balancing machine readiness, tooling and consumable inventory, and material availability against shifting R&D schedules and engineering deadlines.
Mentor junior machinists through advanced CNC setups, CAM programming, and workholding design while coordinating closely with 3D printing and electrical technicians to track progress and keep communication with engineering clear and actionable.
Program, set up, and operate 3-axis CNC mills across a wide range of engineering materials, taking personal ownership of precision parts from start to finish and closing the loop on in-process inspection.
Design and fabricate custom workholding — including soft jaws and vacuum fixtures — and guide technicians in developing their own solutions; read and interpret engineering drawings, CAD models, and advanced GD&T callouts to verify part requirements and provide actionable DFM feedback to engineers.
Oversee quality assurance and part verification, coaching technicians on metrology tools and leading root cause analysis for machining defects or tolerance drift; document machining and additive processes, setup instructions, inspection results, and control plans to ensure future builds are repeatable.
Maintain and enforce strict EHS compliance across the prototype lab and machine shop, ensuring safe equipment operation and consistent adherence to safety protocols.
Because we move fast, everyone on the floor pitches in. You and your team will regularly step in to execute assembly work for small manufacturing runs, assist with facility setup tasks, and maintain lab organization to ensure the team remains agile and supported.
We’re Looking For Candidates Who
Demonstrates strong people leadership skills, with a track record of managing workflows, setting team priorities, and developing junior talent on and off the shop floor.
Is highly organized and detail-oriented, demonstrating independent judgment when resolving ambiguous machining, workflow, or resource problems within the lab.
Has 3+ years of hands-on CNC machining experience in a high-precision industry (robotics, aerospace, medical device, automotive), along with 1+ years of leadership, supervisory, or team management experience.
Demonstrates expert proficiency in CAM programming (Fusion 360 preferred) and 3-axis CNC machine setup and operation.
Possesses a deep understanding of machining fundamentals, including feeds and speeds, tool wear, workholding rigidity, and holding tight tolerances below 0.001 inch (0.025mm).
Can personally produce precision parts with speed and consistency across engineering metals, polymers, and ceramics.
Has working familiarity with 3D printing workflows (FDM, Resin, SLS) sufficient to understand what 3D printing technicians are communicating, coordinate their work effectively, and resolve production issues.
Has working familiarity with electrical assembly and wiring sufficient to understand what electrical technicians are communicating and keep their work moving without needing to perform it directly.
Communicates professionally and proactively across all levels of the team, managing competing priorities and schedule pressure without losing clarity or momentum.
Is proficient with manual shop equipment (mills, lathes, saws, hand tools) and physically capable of standing for long periods and lifting up to 50 lbs.
Thrives in a fast-paced hardware environment managing team operations alongside design engineers and cross-functional stakeholders.
Nice to Have
A degree in Manufacturing Technology, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field. Equivalent experience accepted.
Experience with 5-axis machining or multi-axis turning.
Experience programming or operating CMMs or using advanced metrology workflows.
Familiarity with difficult-to-machine materials (e.g., titanium, Inconel, hardened steels, ceramics).
Deep working knowledge of 3D printing workflows (FDM, Resin, SLS) sufficient to actively mentor technicians on machine setup, material selection, and troubleshooting.
Deep working knowledge of cable fabrication, harness assembly, and wiring schematics sufficient to mentor or directly support electrical technicians.
Experience with TIG welding, light fabrication, or other joining processes.
Familiarity with other prototyping equipment such as laser cutters or sheet metal fabrication tools.
Experience documenting data (inspection results, build logs, nonconformances) within an MES, PLM, or ERP system.

You will provide technical oversight, audit CAM programs, and coach junior machinists through complex CNC setups, workholding design, and quality verification. You will also work closely with 3D printing and electrical technicians, maintaining enough working familiarity with those disciplines to communicate effectively, track their work, and keep the lab moving as a single team.\n\nThis is an evolutionary leadership role in a fast-paced prototype and R&D environment where you will work directly with engineers to review advanced prints, provide design-for-manufacturability (DFM) feedback, and scale the team's long-term capabilities safely and efficiently.\n\nThis role is based in San Francisco, CA. We're an in-person company. We build faster that way.\n\nIn This Role, You’ll\n\n - Manage daily priorities, lab logistics, and capacity for the Machinist, 3D Printing, and Electrical Technicians, balancing machine readiness, tooling and consumable inventory, and material availability against shifting R&D schedules and engineering deadlines.\n\n - Mentor junior machinists through advanced CNC setups, CAM programming, and workholding design while coordinating closely with 3D printing and electrical technicians to track progress and keep communication with engineering clear and actionable.\n\n - Program, set up, and operate 3-axis CNC mills across a wide range of engineering materials, taking personal ownership of precision parts from start to finish and closing the loop on in-process inspection.\n\n - Design and fabricate custom workholding — including soft jaws and vacuum fixtures — and guide technicians in developing their own solutions; read and interpret engineering drawings, CAD models, and advanced GD&T callouts to verify part requirements and provide actionable DFM feedback to engineers.\n\n - Oversee quality assurance and part verification, coaching technicians on metrology tools and leading root cause analysis for machining defects or tolerance drift; document machining and additive processes, setup instructions, inspection results, and control plans to ensure future builds are repeatable.\n\n - Maintain and enforce strict EHS compliance across the prototype lab and machine shop, ensuring safe equipment operation and consistent adherence to safety protocols.\n\n - Because we move fast, everyone on the floor pitches in. You and your team will regularly step in to execute assembly work for small manufacturing runs, assist with facility setup tasks, and maintain lab organization to ensure the team remains agile and supported.\n\nWe’re Looking For Candidates Who\n\n - Demonstrates strong people leadership skills, with a track record of managing workflows, setting team priorities, and developing junior talent on and off the shop floor.\n\n - Is highly organized and detail-oriented, demonstrating independent judgment when resolving ambiguous machining, workflow, or resource problems within the lab.\n\n - Has 3+ years of hands-on CNC machining experience in a high-precision industry (robotics, aerospace, medical device, automotive), along with 1+ years of leadership, supervisory, or team management experience.\n\n - Demonstrates expert proficiency in CAM programming (Fusion 360 preferred) and 3-axis CNC machine setup and operation.\n\n - Possesses a deep understanding of machining fundamentals, including feeds and speeds, tool wear, workholding rigidity, and holding tight tolerances below 0.001 inch (0.025mm).\n\n - Can personally produce precision parts with speed and consistency across engineering metals, polymers, and ceramics.\n\n - Has working familiarity with 3D printing workflows (FDM, Resin, SLS) sufficient to understand what 3D printing technicians are communicating, coordinate their work effectively, and resolve production issues.\n\n - Has working familiarity with electrical assembly and wiring sufficient to understand what electrical technicians are communicating and keep their work moving without needing to perform it directly.\n\n - Communicates professionally and proactively across all levels of the team, managing competing priorities and schedule pressure without losing clarity or momentum.\n\n - Is proficient with manual shop equipment (mills, lathes, saws, hand tools) and physically capable of standing for long periods and lifting up to 50 lbs.\n\n - Thrives in a fast-paced hardware environment managing team operations alongside design engineers and cross-functional stakeholders.\n\nNice to Have\n\n - A degree in Manufacturing Technology, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field. Equivalent experience accepted.\n\n - Experience with 5-axis machining or multi-axis turning.\n\n - Experience programming or operating CMMs or using advanced metrology workflows.\n\n - Familiarity with difficult-to-machine materials (e.g., titanium, Inconel, hardened steels, ceramics).\n\n - Deep working knowledge of 3D printing workflows (FDM, Resin, SLS) sufficient to actively mentor technicians on machine setup, material selection, and troubleshooting.\n\n - Deep working knowledge of cable fabrication, harness assembly, and wiring schematics sufficient to mentor or directly support electrical technicians.\n\n - Experience with TIG welding, light fabrication, or other joining processes.\n\n - Familiarity with other prototyping equipment such as laser cutters or sheet metal fabrication tools.\n\n - Experience documenting data (inspection results, build logs, nonconformances) within an MES, PLM, or ERP system.\n\nAbout Droyd\n\nDroyd builds autonomous robotic systems to automate manual work for enterprises.
