We are seeking a proactive and hands-on Junior Field Application Engineer to join our Humanoid Robot design team. In this role, you will play a vital part in the deployment, testing, and on-site support of our advanced robotic systems. While a strong foundation in software is essential, the primary focus will be on evaluating robot performance in real-world scenarios, identifying and resolving technical issues, and ensuring smooth system integration and operation. This is an ideal opportunity for a technically inclined problem-solver who enjoys bridging the gap between cutting-edge development and practical application in the robotics field.

Responsibilities

• Robot Deployment & Field Support
  Deploy, configure, and maintain humanoid robots in both test environments and live field locations.
• Troubleshooting & Debugging
  Identify and resolve software, hardware, and communication issues through hands-on diagnosis, log analysis, and software patching.
• Performance Monitoring & Data Collection
  Utilize diagnostic tools to monitor robot behavior, collect operational data, and provide actionable insights to the development team.
• Scripting & Tooling Support
  Write and maintain Python scripts and lightweight tools to streamline robot configuration, testing, and diagnostics.
• Field Feedback & Reporting
  Deliver clear, structured feedback and documentation based on field observations to help enhance product design and reliability.
• Cross-functional Collaboration
  Collaborate with software engineers, hardware teams, and robotics experts to validate functionality and system integration.
• Training & Internal Support (Optional)
  Provide basic operational training and troubleshooting guidance to internal users or customers, if needed.

Qualifications

• Diploma or Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Automation, Mechatronics, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Able to communicate effectively in Mandarin for collaboration with Chinese development teams.
• Fresh graduates are welcome – no prior work experience required.
• Working knowledge of Linux systems and command-line utilities.
• Working knowledge of Python scripting; exposure to C++ is a plus, particularly for debugging purposes.
• Working knowledge of computer networking and hardware-software interaction.
• Familiar with version control systems such as Git or GitHub.
• Excellent troubleshooting and analytical skills; able to diagnose complex issues with minimal supervision.
• Self-motivated team player with strong communication and task management abilities.
• Willingness to travel to deployment sites (local or regional, as applicable).

Nice to Have

• Hands-on experience in robotics projects (academic, personal, or internships).
• Familiarity with diagnostic/logging tools or remote monitoring systems.
• Exposure to remote access tools, data logging, or web interfaces for robot management.
