Job Title:
Deployment Operations Specialist / Robotics Technician Job Description The Deployment Operations Specialist / Robotics Technician plays a key role in connecting customers, product teams, and engineering to ensure robotic systems consistently deliver value in the field. You will manage operational deployments from early concept through pilot phases, oversee daily operations at customer sites, and proactively resolve technical and operational challenges. This position blends hands-on work with physical equipment, process development, and performance reporting, and is ideal for someone who combines strong technical aptitude with customer focus and operational discipline. Responsibilities Manage and execute operational projects from initial concept through pilot phases, including hands-on testing, validation, and implementation of robotic systems. Coordinate closely with internal operational teams and external vendors to ensure smooth deployment and ongoing operation of robotic systems. Collaborate with internal teams to develop, document, and implement training programs for operational staff who support robotic deployments. Identify and propose practical solutions when encountering project blockers, escalating issues appropriately and driving them to resolution. Organize, track, and manage inventory stock in the lab for pilot programs and research and development testing, ensuring equipment and materials are available when needed. Oversee daily operations at customer locations, ensuring robotic systems function reliably, meet service expectations, and deliver consistent value. Compile, analyze, and present operational performance metrics, such as task success rates and system health indicators, for regular reviews with stakeholders.
