Night-Shift Robotics Technician - On-Site Fleet Support

Bonfirevc; Sumner (WA); On-site; USD 75,000 - 110,000; Full time

Job summary

Destro AI in Sumner, WA is seeking a hands-on, on-site technician to own the night-shift operational health of deployed robotic fleets. You diagnose, resolve, and restore production when issues arise, deploy new systems, and train warehouse staff who work with the robots.

You will monitor the fleet via the MothershipOS dashboard, perform preventive maintenance, and escalate engineering issues with clear diagnostics.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of hands-on technical experience with robotics, automation, or comparable electromechanical systems.
• Strong mechanical and electrical troubleshooting instincts across mechanical, electrical, network, and software layers.
• Comfortable working independently on a night shift, often as the only technical person on site.
• Able to stay calm and methodical when production is down and people are waiting for a resolution.

Responsibilities

• Deploy and commission Destro’s robotic systems on-site — unboxing, assembly, charging infrastructure, network setup, and configuration.
• Support site mapping, zone setup, and workflow configuration for new deployments.
• Execute acceptance testing and validate systems against defined performance criteria before go-live.
• Run functional, integration, and end-to-end tests on robots and the MothershipOS platform.
• Validate robot behavior against expected workflows and document deviations.
• Verify software updates and configuration changes in the live environment before and after rollout.
• Monitor the robot fleet through the MothershipOS dashboard during the shift.
• Respond to and resolve robot exceptions in real time — blocked paths, failed picks, navigation faults, charging faults, connectivity drops.
• Triage issues quickly to keep throughput and uptime targets on track.
• Track exception patterns and recurring failures rather than just clearing them one by one.
• Execute scheduled preventive maintenance on the robot fleet — inspections, cleaning, sensor calibration, wheel and drive checks, battery health.
• Diagnose and repair mechanical, electrical, and electromechanical faults.
• Manage spare parts inventory and coordinate replacements.
• Maintain accurate maintenance logs and service records for every unit.
• Train warehouse associates on safe and effective operation with Destro robots.
• Deliver refresher training as workflows change and new associates join.
• Build and maintain SOPs, quick-reference guides, and troubleshooting documentation for the site.
• Train and onboard new technicians as the team grows, and serve as their escalation point.
