Watney Robotics Inc
Overview
Watney Robotics Inc is a fast-moving robotics startup in San Francisco building autonomous systems. This role focuses on hands-on work with cutting-edge robotics, from prototype to production deployment, with ownership of technical challenges beyond traditional maintenance. Role Description
As our Robot Technician, you will be hands-on with autonomous systems from prototype to production deployment. You will: Build, test, and optimize robots that run continuously Troubleshoot complex mechanical, electrical, and software issues in autonomous systems Develop diagnostic procedures and predictive maintenance protocols Configure and calibrate sensors, actuators, and control systems Support field deployments and remote debugging of systems worldwide Create assembly documentation and maintenance procedures as we scale Help iterate on hardware designs based on real-world performance data Interface with our software and hardware teams to improve robot behavior and reliability What You Bring
2+ years hands-on experience with robotic systems, automation equipment, automotive, or similar Strong mechanical assembly and troubleshooting skills Electrical debugging capabilities (reading schematics, using multimeters/oscilloscopes) Experience with motors, sensors, and control systems Detail-oriented approach to documentation and testing Basic Linux skills - comfortable with CLI, SSH, log files, and system diagnostics Bonus Points: Experience with CAN bus, ROS, or industrial communication protocols Familiarity with autonomous systems and edge case handling CAD software proficiency (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, etc.) 3D printing and rapid prototyping experience Background in production scaling or manufacturing Experience with 24/7 reliability systems What Sets You Apart
You love taking things apart to understand how they work Comfortable working on bleeding-edge technology with ambiguous requirements Strong debugging instincts – you can isolate problems systematically Excited by the challenge of making robots work reliably at scale Pride in craftsmanship and building things that last Why Watney Robotics?
Ground-floor opportunity : Join at the inflection point between R&D and massive scaling Own your impact : Your improvements ship directly to production robots Cutting-edge technology : Work with advanced autonomous systems solving novel problems Career growth : Clear paths to lead technician, robotics engineer, or specialization roles Learn from the best : Work directly with our founding team of robotics experts We offer competitive compensation including equity, comprehensive benefits, and the chance to define how next-generation robots are built and maintained. You\'ll have direct influence on our technical direction and scaling strategy. Not sure you meet every requirement?
If you\'re passionate about building and fixing robots, we want to hear from you. We value hands-on skills and problem-solving ability over formal credentials. Exceptional candidates from non-traditional backgrounds are encouraged to apply. Apply now , and help us scale to thousands of robots operating worldwide. Please DM the job poster or share with someone you know who would be a great fit. Tags : Robotics, RobotTechnician, AutonomousSystems, StartupJobs
