About the role

AIM builds autonomous heavy equipment that performs real work in the real world - moving earth with 100-ton machines operating in unpredictable environments across mining, construction, and large-scale infrastructure sites. Our customers depend on us for daily operational performance, safety, uptime, and productivity.

Responsibilities

• Lead physical installation of AIM hardware on heavy equipment (compute, sensors, wiring, power).
• Execute mechanical and electrical integration following standardized install procedures.
• Perform initial power-on, safety validation, and hardware acceptance checks.
• Validate E-Stops, lockout/tagout, and safety-critical wiring.
• Identify install-related failure modes (vibration, dust, heat, strain relief).
• Propose improvements to mounts, harnessing, enclosures, and service access.
• Document installation guides, wiring diagrams, and checklists.
• Create and maintain install acceptance criteria and handoff standards.
• Train and enable dealers to perform installs safely and independently.
• Manage expectations around downtime, features, maintenance windows, and machine readiness.
• Build trust through competence, transparency, and ownership.

Requirements

• 5+ years experience in auto mechanics, heavy equipment installation, field service, or similar.
• Hands-on experience with wiring, harnessing, sensors, power systems, and safety circuits.
• Comfort working on large machines in demanding field environments.
• Strong safety mindset and attention to detail.
• Ability to work autonomously under ambiguous, high-pressure conditions.
• Willingness to travel internationally and domestically, often on short notice.

Qualifications

• Experience deploying robotics, autonomous systems, heavy equipment, or industrial automation.
• Experience with safety-critical systems, emergency stops, lockout/tagout, or functional safety frameworks.
• Familiarity with hydraulics, GNSS systems, perception stacks, or motion control systems.
• Experience developing service manuals, install guides, or field engineering playbooks.
• OEM or dealer network experience (e.g., Komatsu, Caterpillar, Volvo).

Skills
