Robot Deployment Technician

• Robot Deployment Technician
• Location: Field (jobsites across the US; Cosmic HQ in SF optional)

Full time, in person. Up to 100% travel.

• Company Overview
• Our mission is to accelerate the construction of critical infrastructure on Earth while pioneering technologies to enable humanity to build beyond. Starting with Cosmic-1 – a system that installs solar panels 10x faster than today's methods, helping us transition to a clean energy future and laying the groundwork for the future of autonomous construction.

• The Role
• You'll be Cosmic's leader in the field, deploying and running Cosmic-1, our solar module installation robot, on utility-scale solar sites across the US. On some projects you'll run the robot yourself full-time. On others, you'll train and support our customer crews running a fleet of robots.

You'll stay on site for the full length of each project, learn how our customers build, and make sure the robots deliver value every day. You'll be the main link between the field and engineering: reproducing bugs, supporting hardware testing, and bringing back critical feedback from the field.
