Full-Time Production Technician

Location: Atlavox | 116 Tupelo Street, Unit 2, Bristol, RI
Pay: $20/hr, plus paid sick time, holiday pay, and 1 week accrued time off
Schedule: Full-time, Monday–Friday, on-site

Atlavox designs and manufactures mesh radio hardware that keeps people connected when there's no cell service, no internet, and no satellite. Our Beacon solar nodes and M1 handheld radios are built right here in Bristol and used in the field by first responders, the military, conservation teams, hikers, and hobbyists building their own networks.

We're a two-person shop that's outgrowing what two people can do. Right now the founder designs the products, bends the metal, runs the printers, and packs the orders. This role takes the production and fulfillment side off his bench so the company can keep growing.

Who This Is For This is a hands-on production job for someone who likes to build. You'll be a good fit if you enjoy:

Radio communications, electronics, and 3D printing
Building things with small tools and getting the details right
Repetitive assembly work, where you settle into a rhythm and turn out unit after unit that all come out the same
Ham radio, Meshtastic, or MeshCore (or you're curious and want to learn)

Key Responsibilities

Build Atlavox Beacons and M1s from sub-components into finished, tested units
Assemble and package DIY kits
Bend sheet metal parts on our press brake (training provided)
Run and maintain our 3D printers: start prints, swap filament, clear beds, basic upkeep, and log finished parts into inventory
Receive inbound shipments, count and verify against what was ordered, and put stock away
Keep fulfillment bins stocked so orders go out without anyone hunting for parts
Merchandise product: apply labels to antennas and finished goods, package for sale, and keep finished inventory organized and presentable
Check your own work. Every unit gets inspected before it ships.
Grow into customer support over time: helping customers by email, phone, and social comments once you know the products
Keep the shop clean and organized
Speak up when a process could be better. We change how we work all the time, and we want your ideas.

What We're Looking For

Experience (hobby or professional) with 3D printing, soldering, electronics, or general maker work
Comfortable with hand tools, drills, and small power tools, with a good feel for how tight is tight enough
Strong attention to detail and pride in clean work. A crooked label or a missed screw bothers you.
Someone who likes repetitive, precise work and can stay focused on it for hours
Able to count accurately, stay organized, and follow a process without cutting corners
Reliable, on time, and quick to flag when something isn't right
Interested in Ham radio, Meshtastic, or MeshCore, or willing to learn. You'll need this for customer support down the road.
Bonus: a Ham license, your own mesh node, RF or electronics background, or sheet metal experience

Why Join Us?

Full-time, steady hours with paid sick time, holiday pay, and accrued time off
Learn 3D printing, sheet metal fabrication, radio hardware, and how a small manufacturing business runs
Work on real products that ship every day and get used in the field all over the world
Direct impact on a growing company. Your ideas change how we work.
Room to take on more as we grow
