Robot Service Technician

About the role

We’re building humanoid robots that work in home—doing the chores, handling the tasks, and giving people their time back. To do this right, we have to solve robotics, AI, and manufacturing at the same time, at scale, in a form factor that has to be safe enough to live with your family. If you’re inspired by this, you’ll thrive here. We’ve been at this since 2014 and we’re now shipping our flagship home robot, NEO, designed to move, learn, and operate in the real world alongside real people.

About the team

• Maintain accurate service records that support fleet reliability analysis and continuous product improvement.
• Identify recurring failure trends and provide actionable feedback to Engineering and Operations teams.

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience in robotics, manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, electronics, or another hands-on technical field.
• Experience assembling, maintaining, or repairing electromechanical systems.
• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, schematics, and work instructions.
• Experience using measurement and diagnostic tools such as calipers, multimeters, torque tools, or similar equipment.
• Ability to work safely around electrical systems, lift components, and perform hands-on work for extended periods.

Skills

• Strong electromechanical troubleshooting and repair skills.
• High attention to detail and craftsmanship when working on precision assemblies.
• Ability to follow structured processes while maintaining a strong sense of ownership and accountability.
• Clear communicator who can document technical findings and collaborate across teams.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where priorities and challenges evolve quickly.

Preferred Skills

• Experience working on robotic systems, automation equipment, or complex electromechanical products.
• Experience with wiring harness repair, precision soldering, crimping, or connector assembly.
• Familiarity with command-line tools, hardware diagnostics, or embedded system troubleshooting.
