The Fleet Operations Robot Technician (AKA: Robot Wrangler) is responsible for the day-to-day physical health, readiness, and availability of a humanoid robot fleet. This role ensures robots are clean, charged, configured, and in the right place at the right time so research, testing, and development work can proceed without unnecessary delays. Robot Wranglers are the frontline operators of fleet readiness. They perform routine checks, detect early signs of issues, and ensure accurate handoff to technical leads when problems arise. This role requires strong attention to detail, operational discipline, and comfort working hands-on with complex robotic systems in a fast-paced lab environment.
Job Responsibility:
Perform routine pre-use and post-use checks to ensure robots are safe, functional, and ready for operation
Ensure robots are powered, charged, cleaned, and staged according to daily schedules
Verify correct hardware configuration, accessories, and setup for planned activities
Identify visible wear, damage, or abnormal behavior and escalate promptly
Stage robots for experiments, testing, demos, and deployments
Execute standard operating procedures consistently and reliably
Track robot location, assignment, and availability throughout the day
Coordinate robot handoffs between teams and shifts to ensure continuity
Maintain organized fleet areas, charging stations, tools, and accessories
Participate in training and continuous improvement initiatives as the fleet scales
Serve as the first observer for robot issues during handling, setup, or operation
Log issues accurately in work tracking systems with clear descriptions and context
Escalate issues to Robot Captains or Fleet Operations leadership according to defined procedures
Update fleet status, readiness, and location in tracking systems
Log health checks, incidents, and handoffs to maintain fleet visibility
Follow standardized operating procedures for startups, shutdowns, and shift transitions
Follow and reinforce safety protocols when working around high-energy or mobile robotic systems
Ensure work areas remain clean, organized, and compliant with safety standards
Stop work and escalate immediately if unsafe conditions are observed
Requirements:
Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a related technical field or equivalent hands-on experience
1–4 years of experience in a technical operations/service, lab support, manufacturing, or field support role
Experience working with mechanical, electrical, or robotic systems preferred
Prior experience in lab, test, or production environments is a plus
Experience with lean manufacturing and 5S/6S preferred
Comfort working hands-on with complex mechanical or electromechanical systems
Ability to follow technical procedures and checklists with high attention to detail
Familiarity with work tracking or issue management systems
Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple tasks in parallel
Willingness to work in a fast-paced, evolving R&D environment
Nice to have:
Experience working with mechanical, electrical, or robotic systems
Prior experience in lab, test, or production environments
