Robotics Hardware Technician

Cleo Robotics builds unconventional autonomous robotic systems designed to operate in the world’s most challenging and inaccessible environments. Our mission is to deploy intelligent machines into critical environments to improve operational efficiency, reduce unplanned downtime, and keep people out of harm’s way. Our technology is used across industries including energy, oil and gas, manufacturing, public safety, and defense. We’re a growing team of experts in robotics and autonomous systems with diverse backgrounds and skills.

We value making an impact, thinking big, leading with empathy, and having fun along the way.

If you get excited about solving big problems and building robots straight from science fiction, and you thrive in a fast-paced environment, this role might be for you!

This role is ideal for an experienced assembly or production technician who enjoys working hands-on with complex electronics and mechanical systems.

In this role, you will be responsible for physically assembling our drones from the ground up — transforming engineered designs into fully built systems that are tested, shipped to customers, and deployed in real-world environments. This is a hands-on manufacturing role for someone who enjoys building complex hardware and takes pride in precision craftsmanship.

You will spend the majority of your time assembling drone systems that are as cool as they look, working with electronics, sensors, wiring, batteries, and structural components. You will also collaborate closely with our engineering team to support new builds, prototype iterations, and design improvements that make our systems easier to manufacture and maintain.

Beyond assembly, you will help maintain the operational heartbeat of our production floor — managing inventory, receiving and organizing parts, supporting shipping and fulfillment, documenting processes, and identifying opportunities to improve how we build.

Success in this role requires someone who takes pride in building high-quality hardware, thrives in a fast-moving startup environment, and brings a high level of precision and attention to detail. The work you do will directly impact the quality, reliability, and performance of the systems our customers rely on.
