Robot Technician

Keep the fleet in known-good condition: preventive maintenance, calibration, inspection and bring-up.

About the role

Our robots do real work every day, and this role keeps them in known-good condition. You will own preventive maintenance, calibration and inspection across the fleet, with the standing to make the call on whether a robot goes out. It's a hands-on, high-trust role at the heart of the operation.

What you'll do

  • Perform preventive maintenance and service: cabling, fasteners, wear parts, mechanical condition
  • Run calibration as a routine, including the teleoperation rig
  • Own the inspection routine and its records, so trends stay visible
  • Handle new-platform and new-unit bring-up
  • Communicate with the robot vendor to troubleshoot problems
  • Make the final call on whether a robot is fit for operation
  • Work closely with the engineering teams who depend on the fleet being ready

What we look for

Some combination of the following:

  • Hands-on electromechanical service experience on real equipment
  • A methodical, documenting work style — behaviour changes should be traceable to a specific service
  • Comfort with Linux basics, SSH and networks
  • The professional confidence to keep quality steady, even under schedule pressure

Tools you'll work with

  • Standard electromechanical service tooling
  • Linux CLI / SSH for diagnostics and calibration routines
  • Version-controlled service logs and inspection records
  • CAD modelling and 3D printing

Bonus experience

  • Robotics or automation background
  • Sensor mounting, fixtures, light fabrication
  • Electrical diagnosis: harnesses, connectors, power
  • Field service experience
