- 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.
