Robotic Operations Technician

As a robotic operations technician, you will often be the person directly interfacing with the customer. You will be maintaining and installing robots at an ever-expanding number of sites. This is an exciting opportunity to have a real impact on the health and functionality of our fast-growing fleet of robots deployed in logistics warehouses across the United States. Fluency in Spanish is a big plus as it helps us interact with some of our warehouse associate stakeholders.

• Use clear written communication to describe issues and bugs seen in the field and suggest potential solutions
• Work with other Field Technicians and Deployment Engineers to deploy and manage installations at customer sites
