What are the responsibilities and job description for the Field Technician position at Mind Robotics?
About Mind Robotics
The hardest problems in AI are solved when researchers and engineers are hands-on with hardware. At Mind Robotics, we solve for the real world. We're building a lean, collaborative team where every individual has a massive impact and we look for builders who are passionate about robotics and live for the challenge of making systems work in messy, complex environments.
About the Role
We're hiring Field Technicians to be the backbone of our data collection operation at the Rivian manufacturing facility in Normal, IL. This is a critical, hands-on role: you'll keep our camera and docking station network running across a live factory floor, making sure every shift starts clean and every station comes back in good shape.
What we need is someone reliable, detail-oriented, and comfortable working in an active industrial environment.
Deploy and maintain a station cluster. Set up, power, and recover hardware across your assigned stations each shift - making sure every camera is recording when it needs to be and every battery and drive is returned, charged, and ready to go again.
Monitor and respond in real time. Use our centralized dashboard to track station health across your cluster throughout the shift, and escalate issues to your Team Lead the moment something looks wrong.
Support operators on the floor. Be a reliable, approachable presence for Rivian operators - helping with camera fitting, docking procedures, and remote trigger usage so production never skips a beat.
Keep meticulous records. Log every hardware issue with station ID, timestamp, and a clear description. Your notes are what keep the broader team one step ahead of problems.
Requirements
Reliable, detail-oriented, and takes ownership of their area
Comfortable with consumer electronics - phones, cameras, charging systems

Clear communicator: you escalate issues fast and log them accurately
