Robotics Technician

Role Description

As our Robot Technician, you'll be hands-on with cutting-edge autonomous systems from prototype to production deployment. This isn't traditional maintenance – you're a technical owner who will:

• Build, test, and optimize robots that run continuously
• Troubleshoot complex mechanical, electrical, and software issues in autonomous systems
• Develop diagnostic procedures and predictive maintenance protocols
• Configure and calibrate sensors, actuators, and control systems
• Support field deployments and remote debugging of systems worldwide
• Create assembly documentation and maintenance procedures as we scale
• Help iterate on hardware designs based on real-world performance data
• Interface with our software and hardware teams to improve robot behavior and reliability

Essential

• 2+ years hands-on experience with robotic systems, automation equipment, automotive, or similar
• Strong mechanical assembly and troubleshooting skills
• Electrical debugging capabilities (reading schematics, using multimeters/oscilloscopes)
• Experience with motors, sensors, and control systems
• Detail-oriented approach to documentation and testing
• Basic Linux skills - comfortable with CLI, SSH, log files, and system diagnostics

Bonus Points

• Experience with EtherCAT lines, CAN bus, or industrial communication protocols
• Familiarity with autonomous systems and edge case handling
• CAD software proficiency (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, etc.)
• 3D printing and rapid prototyping experience
• Background in production scaling or manufacturing

What Sets You Apart

• You love taking things apart to understand how they work
• Comfortable working on bleeding-edge technology with ambiguous requirements
• Strong debugging instincts – you can isolate problems systematically
• Excited by the challenge of making robots work reliably at scale
• Pride in craftsmanship and building things that last
