Robot Test Operator

Job description

About Us
At Pickle Robot, we're on a mission to automate global supply chains with Physical AI. Our robots work alongside warehouse teams to unload trucks and containers — one of the toughest, most understaffed jobs in logistics — making the work safer, faster, and more efficient for the people doing it.  Loading trucks comes next, followed by the Dill Autonomy Engine: generalized autonomy that will eventually orchestrate robots across entire logistics processes.

What You'll Do
• Operate robots through touchscreen interfaces to execute 1-10 test scenarios per day with minimal oversight from engineering teams

• Drive robots and equipment safely in and out of shipping containers and trailers following established safety protocols

• Perform routine robot maintenance such as cleaning lidar sensors and replacing components as needed (~1-4 hours per week)

• Monitor robot performance during tests and identify functional issues or anomalies, communicating findings clearly to engineering teams

• Collaborate closely with System Verification and Test engineers and software engineers to ensure effective test execution

• Complete required safety training for confined space operations and adhere to all safety requirements

What You'll Bring
• Relevant experience in similar mechanical and technical environments (e.g., manufacturing, automotive, mechanical maintenance, etc.)

• Experience in manufacturing, robotics, or automation preferred

• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs regularly throughout the workday

• Tech-savvy with mechanical aptitude and willingness to learn robotics operations

• Strong problem-solving skills with ability to identify and troubleshoot equipment issues

• Clear communication skills and proven ability to take ownership of tasks

• Comfort working in confined spaces and around moving machinery

• Strong attention to detail
