TAR; San Francisco (CA); Vor Ort; USD 90.000 - 130.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

TAR builds fully islanded solar and storage campuses that power AI data centers, plus the construction robots that install them. As Forward Deployed Operator, you own field test campaigns from pre-test setup to go/no-go decisions, delivering structured data and safe, steady testing at our San Francisco robotics facility with multi-week field deployments in West Texas.

You will operate unmanned robotic systems in outdoor environments, field-test software and electromechanical systems, and

Qualifikationen

• 3+ years operating or testing unmanned or robotic systems in the field.
• FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certification, required at time of joining.
• Demonstrated aeronautical or operational decision-making: owning go/no-go calls, running preflight checklists, and escalating safety issues with clear documentation.
• Hands-on electromechanical troubleshooting and repair under time pressure in an iterative, failure-heavy test environment.
• Comfortable working outdoors for multi-hour test windows, lifting and moving 50+ lb equipment, and adapting to variable field conditions.
• Strong documentation and communication skills, able to report results clearly and coordinate across engineering, safety, and manufacturing.
• Open to travel and to spending multi-week stretches on-site during live deployments.

Aufgaben

• Own end-to-end execution of field test campaigns for TAR's robotic systems, from pre-test setup and checklists through data collection and post-test reporting.
• Serve as the certified operator for testing that requires FAA Part 107 authorization, making go/no-go decisions and following safety-forward operating procedures on every test.
• Set up, launch, operate, and recover test units in the field, troubleshooting and repairing electromechanical and software issues on-site to keep campaigns moving.
• Execute mission and fault-injection test profiles defined by engineering, capturing clear, structured data that engineering can act on.
• Maintain test equipment, spares, and field tooling, and keep detailed records of test conditions, anomalies, and outcomes.
• Escalate safety-relevant issues immediately with clear documentation, and pause or stop testing when conditions warrant.
• Report operability, reliability, and failure patterns observed during testing directly to engineering to drive design iteration.
