Functional Activities:
- Travel between sites to deploy and commission robot fleets, which includes setup, network configuration, and mapping.
- Deploy software builds and configurations, and conduct site acceptance tests prior to go-live.
- Troubleshoot hardware, software, sensor, and connectivity issues, utilizing the terminal and ROS tools as necessary.
- Escalate complex issues to the development teams, providing clear logs, data, and reproduction steps.
- Transfer fully operational robots to the Live Operations team, accompanied by configuration records and known issues.
- Maintain deployment checklists and runbooks, adhering to all site safety and HSE requirements.
Industry / Domain: Field robotics and autonomous systems deployed in real-world environments (delivery robots, quadrupeds, humanoids).
Technical Knowledge:
- Proficient understanding of ROS / ROS 2, including nodes, topics, services, parameters, launch files, and bag files.
- Comfortable working in Linux, utilizing the terminal, and managing SSH; basic shell scripting knowledge is advantageous.
- Comprehension of robot operations (perception, localization, navigation, control), as well as familiarity with sensors, motors, drivers, and embedded components when necessary.
- Networking knowledge, including Wi-Fi, IP configuration, and 4G/5G connectivity.
- Awareness of robot safety protocols, emergency stop systems, and safe handling practices.
- Familiarity with Git, Docker, or similar deployment tools is beneficial.
Experience and Competencies:
- Hands-on experience in deploying, operating, testing, or integrating robots, drones, or similar autonomous systems.
- A structured, methodical approach to troubleshooting under time constraints on site.
- Effective communication skills with development teams, live operations, and site staff; capable of producing concise issue reports.
- Strong attention to detail in maintaining checklists, safety protocols, and documentation.
- Willingness to travel between sites and work flexible hours during deployments.
Working Conditions
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechatronics, Mechanical, Electrical, Robotics, Computer, or Software Engineering, or a related field.
- HSE training and certifications are desirable (or a willingness to complete them).
- A valid driving license is required.
- This is a field-based role involving regular travel between sites, in both indoor and outdoor environments, with flexible or extended hours during deployment windows.
