We provide comprehensive, paid on-the-job training, so if you're curious, reliable, and good with your hands, we'll teach you the rest. This is not your typical desk job — you'll be keeping our fleet of robots running smoothly across the Bay Area and beyond.

• Troubleshoot mechanical and electrical problems with guidance and support from our technical team
• Maintain detailed records of all maintenance and repairs using internal tools
• Operate hand and power tools, ranging from allen wrenches to angle grinders
• Learn to prioritize and schedule repairs in a fast-paced environment
• Manage shipping and receiving of robots and parts for servicing
• Support and eventually help train servicing agents at remote sites as you gain experience
• Respond promptly to maintenance requests and help maintain healthy inventory levels
• Document debugging reports for fixes, capturing root cause, diagnostic steps, resolution, and lessons learned
• Build working knowledge of PC troubleshooting and diagnostics, including hardware, OS-level issues, and basic network connectivity

• Mechanical curiosity and a willingness to learn hands-on repair and troubleshooting skills
• High school diploma or GED
• Comfortable using basic hand and power tools, or eager to learn

• Highly organized and dependable, with the ability to develop your own system for managing tasks and tracking work as you grow into the role
• Comfortable working independently or in small teams with minimal supervision
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation for local travel to client sites
• Excellent oral and written communication skills
• Detail-oriented with a strong, proactive problem-solving mindset

Bonus Points

• Coursework, hobby experience, or prior exposure to mechanical or electrical systems (school, military, automotive, electronics, etc.)
• Familiarity with Microsoft Word, Excel, Jira, or other work-order management platforms

Schedule

• Typical hours: 11am–7pm, Monday–Friday (occasional earlier/later shifts depending on workload)
