Job Description

Robotics Shift Lead

Location: Cambridge, MA (onsite)

Type: Full-time contract, 12 months (30+ hours/week)

Schedule: Monday to Friday, 2:30 PM to 11:00 PM

Pay: $52 to $55 per hour

Run the night shift where robots go to school

We’re a well-funded AI robotics startup in Cambridge, and we collect the data that teaches general-purpose robots how to do, well, almost anything. We need a Shift Lead to take charge of the evening shift on our robotics floor.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You’ll keep the team safe and productive, make sure the data we collect is top quality, and jump in to operate robots alongside your crew. You’ll also be an early hire at a brand-new company, working directly with engineering, product, and research, and your feedback will shape how we build and operate.

What you’ll do

Run the evening shift: robot and task assignments, rotations, breaks, and priorities
Own safety with pre-shift briefings, stop-and-flag protocols, and first-responder duties
Handle shift handoffs and write end-of-shift reports that anyone can act on
Operate robots with your team and build your teleoperation skills through structured training
Troubleshoot hardware and software issues, apply documented fixes, and escalate tricky problems to on-call engineering with clear, reproducible reports
Keep things moving when a robot goes down by reassigning operators and rebalancing priorities
Watch data quality in real time and flag sessions that need review or re-collection
Coach operators, gather their feedback, and turn it into clear action items for the wider team
Spot gaps in our SOPs and checklists, and suggest improvements
Close out each night with robots stored and charging, equipment staged, and the floor ready for morning

What you bring

4+ years in manufacturing, industrial automation, field service, or another hands-on technical operations environment, including time as a shift lead, supervisor, or senior technician
Hands-on electromechanical troubleshooting experience, including comfort with hand tools and a multimeter
Working comfort with Linux command line basics, logs, issue trackers, and picking up new tools with limited documentation
Clear written communication
A track record of enforcing safety protocols, including calling a stop when something’s wrong
Good judgment about what to fix on shift and what to escalate
Availability Monday to Friday, 2:30 PM to 11:00 PM, onsite in Cambridge

Bonus points for:

Experience with robotic, mechatronic, or industrial automation systems
Exposure to VR, teleoperation, drones, or other remote-operated platforms
Data collection, labeling, or quality inspection experience
Python or Bash scripting
First aid and CPR certification
Practical use of AI tools to improve your workflow

Physical requirements

Stand and move through an active robot lab for extended periods
Work for extended periods in a VR headset with the spatial awareness to operate robots safely
Work comfortably alongside moving robots and wear PPE as required
Lift 50 lbs

Why you’ll love it

Join a brand-new team at a funded startup
Take on real ownership and visibility as an early hire
Work side by side with engineering, product, and research
Help shape the product and how we operate
