●     Facilitate smooth, clear communication between engineers and non-technical stakeholders.
●     Document technical issues, test results, and client feedback in detail.
●     Troubleshoot hardware and software issues and contribute to continuous workflow improvement.
●     Collaborate with cross-functional teams to iterate on system performance and usability.

What You Have:

●     Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related technical field.
●     Strong communication skills—able to translate complex technical topics for various audiences.
●     Willingness to travel frequently across the country.
●     Up-to-date passport and valid REAL ID (or equivalent travel documentation) is preferred.
●     Excellent organizational skills and the ability to work well in team-based environments.

 
The Extras That Set You Apart:
 
●     Hands-on experience with robotics hardware (drones, quadrupeds, humanoids, or similar).
