Founding Robotics Deployment Specialist

Robots are leaving pilots and going into production: factories, warehouses, hospitals, hotels, data centres. Insurance hasn't caught up. There's little loss data, and nobody agrees where liability sits between the manufacturer, the integrator and the site operator, so most deployments run underinsured or uninsured. We're building the insurance layer for robot deployments. We start as a US commercial property-casualty brokerage that assesses deployment risk properly and places cover. Over time we'll become an MGA that underwrites with data no carrier has today. You'd be one of the first people on the team, so you'd shape the product and the company, and you'd be taking real early-stage risk. **The role** Type: paid contract now, full-time founding role on funding. Comp: $80–160K base on funding + 0.5–1% equity. Location: US, field-based with travel. You'll be on the floor when robots go live. You'll see first-hand what actually goes wrong, and that ground truth becomes the data our insurance is priced on. **What you'll do** - Run site surveys, installation, commissioning and safety validation for robot deployments with our manufacturer and integrator partners. - Support manufacturers new to the US through their first deployments here. - Log every incident, near miss, downtime event and workaround in a structured format we can model on. - Check how safeguarding, training and maintenance actually work on site against what's written down. - Give our solutions engineering and underwriting work its reality check: what the site really looks like, not what the deck says. **You probably have** - 3+ years as a field deployment engineer, commissioning technician or field service engineer for robots: AMRs, cobots, industrial arms or service robots. - Hands-on PLC, safety controller or robot programming experience. - Comfort working on live sites and travelling often. **Nice to have:** OSHA 30, experience across several robot brands, or deployments in hospitals, hotels or warehouses. After any interview we'll share specific feedback, whatever the outcome.
