Job description

Weave is building Isaac, a general-purpose personal robot designed for the home. We’re looking for a dependable, hands-on Operations Assistant to help keep our day-to-day robotics and data collection operations running smoothly.

This is a highly practical, physical role for someone who enjoys keeping things organized, taking care of what needs to get done, and helping a fast-moving team stay productive. The work will vary from day to day and includes supporting robot laundry operations, maintaining data collection workspaces, organizing supplies and materials, running errands, and handling light administrative and bookkeeping tasks.

A significant part of the role involves supporting laundry operations at one of our deployment sites. This includes loading and unloading washers and dryers, moving and organizing laundry, staging clean laundry for robots, and maintaining a clean and efficient workspace.

At the Weave office, you’ll help keep our robotics and data collection environments ready for use. This includes clearing and resetting workstations, organizing clothing and robot materials, restocking supplies and snacks, picking up items as needed, and generally making sure the team has what it needs to operate effectively.

You’ll also work directly with our robots at a basic operational level. This may include starting up robots, monitoring them during operation, repositioning or restarting them when needed, running simple diagnostics, and communicating issues to Weave’s Operations and Engineering teams. No robotics or engineering experience is required, and we’ll train you on the necessary procedures.

The ideal person is reliable, resourceful, organized, and comfortable switching between different kinds of work. On a given day, you might do several loads of laundry, reset a data collection area, move equipment, start up a robot, pick up supplies, organize receipts, and prepare materials for the next day’s operations.
