Location:
1st: Central Production B (1st time there)
2nd: Central Production B (2nd time back)
3rd: Research and Development
There are going to be three locations where you will meet Jo and have to give it Tech Scrap in order to earn this trophy. The first time is in Central Production B. You will have to give Jo the tech scrap here before you fight the boss LU-74 Firebug. Jo is located in the Toxic Waste Disposal area. Right when you open the doors to the Toxic Waste Disposal area turn right and interact with the ventilation machine. You will need to give it 5000 scrap in order to complete the first step towards this trophy.
The second time you meet Jo you will find Jo in Central Production B again, but later on in the game before you fight the third boss. You will need to interact with Jo before you defeat the boss Big Sister 1/3. Jo is located in the circulation tower. Once you get to the circulation tower you will go up a long set of stairs. You will then see a familiar character who you may or may not have helped out earlier in the game. You will need to go past her into the hallway. At the end of the hallway you will see an enemy standing there. Defeat the enemy and proceed up the stairway to the left. Once you make it up the first set of stairs you will see a ventilation shaft. Interact with it and you will need to give Jo 10,000 tech scrap this time in order to complete the second part of this trophy.
The Final time you meet Jo you will find Jo in research and Development. You will need to interact with Jo before you leave this area. You will find Jo a little way into Nano production hall. Once you get into the Nano production hall you will go out the broken glass window, then go up the lift. You will encounter two enemies once you get up this lift the first is a robot that you will need to defeat twice, and the other is a hover robot machine. After you beat them you will make your way out the corridor and you will see 1 more enemy walking near a door that’s closed by a hand scanner. Defeat this robot enemy twice then open the door. Once you enter this room, look to your left and you will find a ventilation shaft. Interact with it and you will need to give Jo 15,000 tech scrap this time. Doing this will get you the trophy.

Missable!
Note that this achievement and "Sunglasses At Night" are mutually exclusive.You have to give Jo three times increasing amounts of Tech Scrap. Since she's hiding in pipes, she's easy to miss if you don't pay attention.
First time: Central Production B, as soon as you walk out of Recycling into Toxic Waste Disposal. You can hear a knocking sound coming out of the pipe to your right. Interact with it and agree to give Jo 5,000 Tech Scrap.
Second time: Central Production B, just after you start ascending Builder Service Access. Give her 10,000 Tech Scrap.
Important! When entering Pressure Control, you'll escape poison gas into a room. You'll hear Jo telling you not to touch her stuff, DON'T TAKE ANYTHING! Stealing will make her angry and void the achievement.
Third time: R&D, Exhibition Floor, Top Level. Give her 15,000 to unlock the achievement.
The first time you can talk to Jo in the second location near the pipe not far from the second boss, you need to give her 5,000 spare parts. The second time you can talk to her after returning from the third location before the battle with the third boss, the pipe is next to the passage to the boss, you will need to give her 10,000 spare parts. The third time you need to talk to her in the exhibition complex, which you find yourself in after the battle with the third boss after falling through the technical tunnels. You need to find the pipe at the very top of the location and give Joe 15,000 spare parts, this must be done before leaving the location.
If you go specifically for this trophy, then after you give her spare parts three times, return to the medical station in the second location, her unique hammer will be lying at the entrance.
One thing to remember is that if you only give Joe the parts once or twice, you won't get any trophies for the wreckage or points for finding them.

(If after talking to her and returning to her room and not finding the robot there, try talking to Hobbs first, and then check her room again)
In general, I advise you to take this prize on the first playthrough, and on the second, aim for the “Rose Glasses” trophy, as it is faster in terms of obtaining (you don’t need to clear the fourth location, unlike the “Loyal Customer” trophy - you’ll get sunglasses practically immediately after killing the third boss, the main thing, let me remind you, is not to give Joe spare parts at all).
