About the role

Hands-on Field Technician to support maintenance, testing and operation of advanced robotic systems for the RIVR team. Responsible for preparing and maintaining robotic platforms, field testing, data collection, and continuous process improvement in customer-facing and production-support contexts. Occasional travel to field locations; open to applicants within Schengen Area.

Responsibilities

  • On-site Troubleshooting and First Response: Independently diagnose and resolve mechanical, electrical, and software issues, often under time pressure and changing conditions, utilizing established ticketing systems.
  • Customer Interaction and Reporting: Serve as the technical point of contact for customers during field operations, providing clear communication, professional support, and post-mission reporting to internal teams.
  • Data Collection and Reporting: Collect operational data, monitor system logs, and provide insights to engineering teams for system refinement.
  • Preventive Maintenance and Inspection: Perform scheduled maintenance routines, visual inspections, and component replacements to maximize system uptime and extend hardware life.
  • Production and Assembly Support: Assist with robot assembly, sub-system integration, and quality checks during production runs, ensuring builds meet engineering specifications.
  • Process Documentation and Continuous Improvement: Create, update, and refine work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and deployment checklists based on field learnings and evolving best practices.
  • Inventory and Spare Parts Management: Track spare parts, consumables, and tooling; coordinate restocking and ensure field kits are complete and deployment-ready.
  • Safety and Compliance: Uphold workplace health and safety standards across workshop and field environments, including proper handling of batteries, electrical systems, and heavy equipment.
  • Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with software, hardware, and operations engineers to relay field observations, validate fixes, and support iterative design improvements.
  • Test Execution and Validation: Support structured testing campaigns—both in the lab and in the field—by following test protocols, recording results, and flagging anomalies for engineering review.

Qualifications
