- Provide technical support to customers both on-site and remotely.
- Travel to customer job sites across the U.S. and internationally, including KSA and UAE.
- Train customers on how to operate, maintain, and troubleshoot Civ Robotics systems in the field.
- Assemble, wire, and test electrical components, sensors, motors, batteries, and related hardware.
- Diagnose and resolve hardware, electrical, mechanical, and basic software issues.
- Support field testing, product validation, and deployment readiness activities.
- Gather customer feedback and field insights to help improve robot performance, reliability, and usability.
- Collaborate with engineering and customer success teams to improve documentation, training materials, and support processes.
- Use tools, testing procedures, and software systems to verify that robots are operating as expected before and after deployment.
What We’re Looking For
- Degree, diploma, or equivalent practical experience in Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or a related technical field.
- 3+ years of hands-on experience with robotic systems, field technical support, electrical/mechanical assembly, or hardware troubleshooting.
- Comfortable working with basic electronics, wiring, soldering, sensors, motors, batteries, and mechanical assemblies.
- Strong troubleshooting skills and ability to diagnose issues in real-world field environments.
- Ability to work independently, take ownership, and stay calm under pressure when supporting customers on-site.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to explain technical concepts clearly to customers and internal teams.
- Willingness to travel for short domestic trips and international trips, including approximately once per quarter.
- Valid driver’s license.
Nice to Have
- Exposure to ROS.
- Experience using GitHub or similar version-control tools.
- Experience with construction, surveying, robotics, autonomous systems, GNSS/GPS, or field-deployed hardware.
- Experience working in a startup or fast-moving technical environment.
Why Join Civ Robotics
- Work on real-world robotics systems deployed across active construction sites.
- Join a fast-growing robotics company transforming the infrastructure construction industry.
- Gain hands-on experience across robotics hardware, field support, automation, and customer deployment.
- Collaborate with a mission-driven team building practical robotics technology at scale.
- Competitive compensation and stock options in a growing early-stage startup.
- Full health, dental, and vision benefits.
- Flexible work environment, with hybrid options available when field and office responsibilities allow.
