Ability Score Increase: (In your case, +2 Int) Usually the +1 is reserved for Sub-race variation. I'd suggest opening it up to +1 Wis for less combative versions of the Sub-race and +1 Con or Str for the more combative side. That way this becomes a more viable race to use with other classes.
Age: Just an expected life age-range. Are these more long-lived humans that keep their lives prolonged via technical enhancements or more "eternal" like elves?
Alignment: Basic alignment tendencies. nobody really pays much heed to this section anyway, as characters can be whatever they want.
Size: Are these people a Medium size race or is this more of a "little gray/green men" sort of deal, making them Small?
Speed: Most speeds are set around 30, but there is some variation. Does one of the sub-races have biological/cybernetic enhancements that make them faster?
Languages: Chances are, these things know Common because everyone tends to. Do they also have their own language or do they sort of speak a dialect from some other race's tongue?
After that, races tend to pick up an ability or two (usually a vision enhancement and one other thing), some sort of proficiency, and then another ability off of the sub-race. I think your guys can probably justify some amount of Darkvision or Blindsight via body mods. After that, it just depends on what you want from them overall.

I am making a forgotten race with advanced technology and I need a little help with their stats and appearance. Here is what I have so far:
+2 Int +1 Wis
proficiency with Arcana
Proficiency with Tinker tools or Smith tools.
Any ideas?
Well here are the things most races require:
