Electronics Box Build Technician

Overview

Autonomous robots are core to Dexory’s product offering. We design, build, and test in-house at our HQ in Wallingford. We’re hiring a Box Build Technician to join Electronics Production. You’ll build mission-critical electro-mechanical systems. This is a results-focused role: quality, speed, and ownership are the fundamentals. You own your cell, your tools, your output, and the standard of work. If a fast-changing environment and minimal supervision make you uneasy, this isn’t your role.

The job is on-site in Wallingford with occasional customer visits (a full UK driving licence is ideal). We run tight comms loops, daily reviews, and fast feedback. You don’t walk past problems—you own and fix them. If something’s unclear, you propose and implement the fix today, not sometime next sprint. Team over ego: you mentor and share knowledge, pair on tricky rework, and help everyone work faster. We love what we are building, we build to spec, and we ship these incredible robots globally. Your work will be divided between sub-system assembly and product assembly.

• Build of sub-assemblies as defined by the work instructions
• Assembly of the product as defined by the work instructions
• Support the assembly and debug process of the robots for various practices, as well as the wider business to see that objectives are achieved and excelled
• Drive continuous improvement ensuring latest technologies and techniques are used throughout the product as well as assembly process.

Key Responsibilities

• Assemble complex electrical and electronic enclosures (box builds) according to mechanical drawings, wiring schematics, and assembly instructions.
• Route, bundle, and secure wire harnesses and cable assemblies within tight mechanical constraints.
• Mount and install PCBs, power supplies, relays, terminal blocks, and other components.
• Conduct continuity, insulation resistance, and functional tests on completed assemblies.
• Perform troubleshooting and rework of faulty assemblies or wiring looms with minimal supervision.
• Document build issues and provide feedback for design improvements or manufacturability.
• Work closely with engineers and production leads to ensure high quality and consistency.
• Maintain cleanliness, tidiness, and ESD safety in workspaces.
• Adhere to production schedules and prioritize tasks to meet business deadlines.
