About this role

Salary: £61,000 - 101,000 per year

Requirements

  • A technical degree in engineering, robotics, computer science, or a similar field, or equivalent hands-on experience; robotics experience is welcome but not essential.
  • Confidence with Linux and the command line, and willingness to learn ROS quickly.
  • A structured approach to troubleshooting: form a hypothesis, test it, and adapt based on the results.
  • Calmness under operational pressure.
  • Clear written communication skills.

Responsibilities

  • Triage, diagnose, and resolve robot issues escalated from L1 and monitoring.
  • Troubleshoot robots directly by reading logs, inspecting ROS topics and services, interacting with CAN, checking and changing configuration, disabling sensors where safe, and restarting services.
  • Request a version rollback from V&V when a release is implicated.
  • Investigate connectivity problems, mapping and annotation issues, tower faults, and mission or deployment failures.
  • Escalate issues to L3 or Engineering when appropriate, providing an evidence-based handover that explains findings, actions taken, and causes ruled out.
  • Write and maintain a playbook for each repeat issue resolved.
  • Train and support L1, Deployment, and Service teams, and keep the knowledge centre and post-release digest current.
  • Share recurring problems with Fleet Reliability to support permanent fixes.
