- Developing and maintaining engineering documentation, including assembly instructions and SOPs
### **You:**
- Have at least 2+ years of relevant experience in electrical assembly
- Have electrical intuition refined through personal or professional projects
- Are comfortable interpreting schematics/drawings and assembling complex electrical systems independently
- Have a positive attitude and like working in-person on a fast-paced startup team

## **About Charge Robotics**
We are a Series A startup building robots that build solar farms.
Demand for new solar projects is booming (1 ⁄ 5 of all the solar that exists in the US was installed last year!), but today’s construction companies can’t keep up due to limited labor resources.
We thought this was insane, so we started working on robots to directly address this bottleneck and speed up the world’s transition to renewables.
Charge is a fast-moving company, which means constant opportunities for learning and growth. You’ll have a large impact on the direction of our company, and will be compensated accordingly.
If you are excited to work on interesting problems with direct climate impact, you’re going to fit right in at Charge Robotics.
