This role is ideal for a technician, field engineer, application engineer, or associate-level engineer who enjoys building, testing, troubleshooting, and working directly with customers. You will support robot deployments across the U.S. and internationally.
What You’ll Do

• Install, test, calibrate, and troubleshoot robotic systems before shipment and during field deployment.
• 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.
