About Tractable

Tractable’s AI products already transform how the automotive and insurance industries assess vehicle damage. We’re now taking the leap from pure software into our first hardware platform – a drive‑through imaging rig that automatically captures high‑fidelity photos and sensor data for instant AI analysis. As our first Electro‑Mechanical Assembly & Test Technician, you’ll turn pre‑built frames into fully operational scanner systems and ship them worldwide.

Core responsibilities

• Install electrical hardware (relays, power distribution units, GFCI outlets) on the scanner frame following wiring diagrams and safety codes

• Mount and secure electronic sub‑assemblies: embedded compute, USB hubs, PoE switches, sensors and machine‑vision cameras

• Route, label and strain‑relieve cabling; torque and mark fasteners to spec

• Flash firmware and run scripted diagnostics on cameras and compute modules

• Execute final functional tests by driving vehicles through the scanner and logging image/sensor data; troubleshoot and document anomalies

• Complete QA checklists in the MES system and sign off units for shipment

• Partially disassemble, foam‑wrap and crate systems for domestic and international transport

• Provide feedback to engineering on build pain points; suggest fixture or kitting improvements to shorten assembly time and improve quality

• Maintain an ESD‑safe bench and follow IPC‑A‑610, OSHA and company safety practices

Minimum qualifications

• 2+ years electro‑mechanical assembly, field‑service or technician experience

• Able to read basic electrical schematics, wiring schedules and mechanical exploded views

• Proficient with hand tools, torque drivers, crimp/ferrule tools; comfortable with light soldering

• Basic computer literacy: can use Windows/Linux command line to run scripts or update firmware

• Valid driver’s license (company vehicle provided for test passes)

• Able to lift 50 lbs and work on ladders or scissor lift when routing overhead cabling

Preferred / nice‑to‑have

• IPC‑A‑610 or J‑STD‑001 certification (or willingness to obtain within 6 months)

• Experience with USB3/GigE cameras, industrial sensors or machine‑vision systems

• Familiarity with Python or shell scripting for test automation

• Forklift certification and/or experience packing large technical equipment

• Exposure to lean 5S or ISO‑9001 production environments

Diversity commitment

At Tractable, we are committed to building a diverse team and inclusive workplace where people’s varied backgrounds and experiences are valued and recognised.
