What you’ll be doing
● On-site Troubleshooting and First Response: Independently diagnose and resolve
mechanical, electrical, and software issues, often under time pressure and
changing conditions, utilizing established ticketing systems. Data Collection and Reporting: Collect operational data, monitor system logs, and provide insights to engineering teams for system refinement.
● Preventive Maintenance and Inspection: Perform scheduled maintenance routines, visual inspections, and component replacements to maximize system uptime and extend hardware life.
● Production and Assembly Support: Assist with robot assembly, sub-systemi integration, and quality checks during production runs, ensuring builds meet engineering specifications.
● Process Documentation and Continuous Improvement: Create, update, and refine work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and deployment checklists based on field learnings and evolving best practices.
● Inventory and Spare Parts Management: Track spare parts, consumables, and
tooling; coordinate restocking and ensure field kits are complete and deployment-
ready.
