We believe massive scale through data-driven machine learning is the key to unlocking these capabilities for the widespread deployment of robots within society. Our team consists of individuals with varying levels of experience and backgrounds, from new graduates to domain experts.

Responsibilities
- Diagnose, troubleshoot, and repair complex mechanical, electrical, software, and perception system issues across a large fleet of robots.
- Collaborate with engineers to identify recurring issues, recommend design improvements, and enhance serviceability.
- Communicate technical findings clearly and contribute to documentation, repair manuals, and troubleshooting guides.
- Perform CAD design, prototype fabrication, and robotic hardware assembly.
- Improve embedded control systems and implement electromechanical and perception systems.
- Conduct root cause analysis, debugging, and testing for sensors, edge compute devices, and control systems.
- Build dashboards (Looker, Tableau) and develop automation scripts in Python and Linux.
- Maintain detailed records of repairs, maintenance activities, and recurring technical issues.
Preferred Qualifications
- 5+ years of full time work experience in relevant industry
- Strong experience in diagnosing and repairing mechanical, electrical, and software systems.
- Proficiency in CAD design and prototype fabrication.
- Familiarity with embedded control systems, perception technologies, and electromechanical components.
- Excellent communication skills for cross-functional collaboration.
