Robot Field Engineer

About Maven Maven Robotics designs, builds, and deploys intelligent robotics for logistics and manufacturing. Maven is building the first general-purpose robotics system for industrial work. Our mission is to activate autonomous labor at scale and build toward infinitely elastic industrial capacity. We’re a team of engineers, researchers, and operators who have spent our careers working on the hardest problems in AI, robotics, engineering, and autonomous systems. We work at the intersection of advanced research and real-world engineering, turning ideas into prototypes and deployed systems. At Maven, we build around the realities of industrial work. The robots are designed from first principles for complex physical environments and rigorous commercial standards. They master real tasks that deliver immediate impact, industrial-grade reliability, and intelligence that compounds at scale. We’re growing an ambitious team of people who think in systems, move quickly, and are builders at heart. About the Role As a Robot Field Engineer at Maven Robotics, you will play a key role in supporting pilot deployments at customer sites, collaborating closely with the Controls, Autonomy, and Integration teams to ensure reliable robot performance in real-world environments. You’ll also partner with the Customer team to ensure deployments meet customer requirements and expectations. What You’ll Do Oversee and operate robotic systems within pilot environments to meet operational goals Coordinate with the customer engineering team and collect their feedback to ensure that our solution is meeting their expectations and goals Collaborate with the Maven Autonomy and Controls teams to execute on-site test plans Conduct first-level software triage, diagnose operational issues, and clearly report findings to the engineering development team for resolution Integrate our robotic solutions with customer systems Proactively monitor and manage robot task success rate and throughput Execute routine and preventative maintenance on robotic hardware and electromechanical systems to ensure peak performance Repair or replace electrical and mechanical components as necessary What We’re Looking For Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related technical field Demonstrated hands-on experience working with complex robotic or electromechanical systems Proficiency with C++/Python programming languages and familiarity with ROS2 and Linux-based development and debugging environments Working knowledge of common robotics networking and communication protocols (e.g., CANOpen, EtherCAT, UART) Ability to work independently, troubleshoot issues effectively, and ensure the successful completion of robotic tasks Comfortable working with standard mechanical and electrical tools (e.g., screwdrivers, wrenches, crimpers, multi-meter) Ability to travel 40-50% of the time to customer facilities Nice to Have Masters of Science (M.S.) in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related technical field Previous experience deploying and supporting robotic systems in field or production environments Familiarity with safety-critical or real-time software systems Equal Opportunity Maven Robotics is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
