Robotics Engineer l Field

🚨 Field Robotics Engineer / Technician | Climate Robotics 📍 West Coast field locations 💰 $80k–$110k + equity (6-12 months time increase to c$175k with milestones met). 🗓 Thursday–Monday schedule We’re supporting an early-stage climate robotics company building physical systems that operate in the real world — supporting land restoration, flood defence, disaster recovery, and critical infrastructure resilience. They’re looking for a hands-on Field Deployment Engineer / Technician to help keep field operations running. (Internally known as Forward Deployed Engineer). This is a practical, outdoor, site-based role for someone who can troubleshoot equipment, solve problems quickly, and support real-world deployments. The kind of experience we are looking for: Experience deploying, commissioning, or supporting robotic systems in live customer/site environments. Hands-on troubleshooting across mechanical, electrical, software, sensor, and network issues. Comfortable working with field-deployed hardware in non-lab environments, such as warehouses, farms, construction sites, industrial sites, or outdoor locations. Experience with robotics platforms such as AMRs, AGVs, autonomous vehicles, drones, industrial robots, or field robots. Ability to read logs, use telemetry, and work with engineering teams to diagnose recurring system failures. Familiarity with Linux, Python/Bash scripting, ROS/ROS2, embedded systems, sensors, cameras, LiDAR, motors, or actuators. Experience performing hardware/software upgrades, retrofits, calibration, validation checks, and system bring-up. Strong documentation habits, including writing SOPs, runbooks, test reports, issue summaries, and field feedback for engineering teams. Comfortable working directly with technicians, operators, customers, and cross-functional engineering teams. Willingness to travel, work unusual schedules, and spend long hours on-site to keep deployments running. A degree is not essential but useful. The main thing is being smart, practical, gritty, and comfortable working outside. This role would suit someone who wants more ownership, more variety, and more interesting technical work than a standard field technician role. Interested or know someone who could be a fit?
