Job Description

Job Responsibilities

1. System Deployment & Software Integration

  • Lead on-site and remote integration of robot systems, with a strong focus on the software stack (ROS/ROS2) and system-level architecture design.
  • Configure navigation maps, SLAM/localization algorithms, and communication interfaces between the robot system and customer on-site infrastructure (WMS/MES/ERP, PLCs, elevators, access control systems, etc.).
  • Design and implement logical workflows for complex automation scenarios using Finite State Machines (FSM) or Behavior Trees.

2. Technical Support & Troubleshooting

  • Provide L2/L3 technical support, diagnosing and resolving complex technical issues involving software, network communications, and system integration layers.
  • Analyze navigation anomalies, communication failures, and software performance issues using log analysis tools (e.g., rosbag) and network diagnostic tools (e.g., Wireshark).
  • Act as the escalation point for on-site engineers, leading Root Cause Analysis (RCA) (e.g., 8D reports, 5-Why analysis) and collaborating with the R&D team to drive permanent fixes.

3. System Monitoring & Performance Optimization

  • Monitor key operational metrics of the robot fleet (uptime, scheduling efficiency, battery health, etc.) and develop data-driven optimization plans.
  • Develop and implement diagnostic tools and automation scripts to minimize equipment downtime and improve overall system reliability.

4. Customer Training & Empowerment

  • Provide technical training to customers and regional partners on system operations, daily maintenance, and troubleshooting best practices.
  • Author high-quality technical documentation, troubleshooting guides, and operation manuals.

5. Cross-functional Collaboration

  • Act as the "Voice of the Customer," feeding back on-site customer requirements and product improvement suggestions to the R&D and engineering teams to drive continuous product iteration.
