Your Impact at LILA
The Robotics Operations Engineer supports deployment and day-to-day operation of Lila’s production robot fleet. This role is the front-line technical presence for robots operating in production environments, ensuring safe, reliable operation and rapid response when issues arise.
You’ll monitor live robot operations, perform hands-on troubleshooting, document incidents clearly, and partner with robotics software and hardware teams to improve uptime. The role is based in a lab production environment and will help support expanded fleet operating hours as the team scales. This role begins on a standard 9am-5pm schedule and transitions to first shift coverage, 6am-2pm, as fleet operating hours expand.
What You'll Be Building
- Monitor robot behavior during live production operations.
- Intervene quickly and safely to pause, stop, or reset robots when needed.
- Document logs, sensor output, video, and reproduction steps for incident escalation.
- Perform minor robot maintenance, including cabling, sensor swaps, fasteners, and basic component replacement.
- Execute robot swap procedures, validate spare units, and return robots to production readiness.
- Maintain accurate records of robot health, incidents, maintenance actions, and fleet status.
- Translate field observations into clear priorities for robotics software and hardware fixes.
- Identify recurring failure patterns and recommend improvements that reduce downtime.
What You'll Need to Succeed
- Hands-on experience working with robotic systems through work experience, technical programs, internsh
