About Corvus Robotics

Corvus Robotics is building autonomous robots that help warehouses operate more efficiently. Our robots navigate large distribution centers, collecting inventory data and helping customers maintain accurate, real-time visibility into their facilities. We’re looking for Field Technicians to help us map customer warehouses and prepare sites for our autonomous robots. This is a hands-on, travel-heavy contractor role for someone who enjoys working in the field and is comfortable navigating large warehouse environments. You don't need prior robotics experience — we'll train you on our mapping tools and processes.

What You'll Do

  • Travel to customer warehouse sites and perform onsite mapping
  • Walk large warehouse facilities to collect accurate information about racking, aisles, storage locations, and other relevant infrastructure
  • Use Corvus's proprietary mapping and editing tools to build and update warehouse maps
  • Capture measurements, photos, and other site information as needed
  • Perform quality checks to ensure maps are accurate and complete
  • Identify and document discrepancies or site conditions that could impact robot operations
  • Work closely with our Deployment teams to communicate mapping findings and resolve issues
  • Follow standardized mapping procedures and continuously improve the quality and efficiency of your work
  • Represent Corvus professionally while working onsite with customer teams

What We're Looking For

  • Willingness and ability to travel frequently to customer sites
  • Comfortable spending several hours walking and working in large warehouse environments
  • Strong attention to detail and an ability to accurately follow technical instructions
  • Comfortable working independently and managing tasks onsite
  • Basic computer and technical skills
  • Strong communication skills
  • Ability to learn new software tools quickly
  • Comfortable working around active warehouse operations, including forklifts and other industrial equipment
  • Reliable, organized, and safety-conscious

Prior experience in warehouse operations, field service, surveying, mapping, construction, or a similar hands-on field role is a plus, but not required.

Role Details

  • Contract position
  • Frequent travel to customer sites required
  • Travel will involve multi-day trips
  • Training on Corvus mapping tools and processes will be provided
  • This role is primarily focused on warehouse mapping and site data collection rather than full robotic deployment

Why Corvus? You'll be working directly in the field with a team building and deploying real-world autonomous robotics. This is an opportunity to gain hands-on experience with robotics, and warehouse automation while working across a variety of customer facilities. If you're someone who likes being out in the field, traveling, working independently, and getting hands-on with new technology, we'd love to hear from you.
