  • Travel to customer job sites across the U.S. and internationally, including KSA and UAE.
  • Prepare, test, and verify robots before shipment and before customer deployment.
  • Perform hands-on work with electrical components, sensors, batteries, wiring, basic mechanical parts, and related hardware.
  • Diagnose and resolve hardware, electrical, mechanical, and basic software issues in the field.
  • Support field testing, product validation, and deployment readiness activities.
  • Gather customer feedback and field insights to help improve robot performance, reliability, usability, and training materials.
  • Collaborate with Operations, Customer Success, and Engineering teams to improve documentation, support processes, and customer training.
  • Use tools, testing procedures, and software systems to confirm robots are operating as expected before and after deployment.

What We’re Looking For

  • 3+ years of hands-on experience in drone operations, robotics, field technical support, hardware support, technical training, or similar field-based technical roles.
  • Experience working with drones, robotics, autonomous systems, or other field-deployed technical hardware.
  • Experience training customers, operators, or end users on how to use technical products or equipment.
  • Comfortable working with basic electronics, wiring, sensors, batteries, mechanical assemblies, and hands-on troubleshooting.
  • Experience with basic electrical or mechanical assembly, repair, or maintenance.
  • Strong technical troubleshooting skills and the ability to diagnose issues in real-world field environments.
  • Familiarity with software tools, firmware updates, logs, diagnostics, or basic technical debugging.
  • Experience with construction, surveying, mapping, GNSS/GPS, field data collection, or other outdoor technical environments.
  • Ability to explain technical concepts clearly to customers, operators, and internal teams.
  • Comfortable working directly with customers in the field and providing support under pressure.
  • Self-sufficient, reliable, and able to take ownership of field deployments, customer training, and support situations.
  • Comfortable working in a startup or fast-moving technical environment.
  • Willingness to travel for short domestic trips and international occasional trips.

Why Join Civ Robotics

  • Work on real-world robotics systems deployed across active construction sites.
  • Join a fast-growing robotics company transforming the infrastructure construction industry.
  • Gain hands-on experience across robotics hardware, field operations, customer training, and global deployments.
  • Work closely with customers and help them successfully adopt practical robotics technology.
  • Collaborate with a mission-driven team building technology at scale.
  • Competitive compensation and stock options in a growing early-stage startup.
