## Job description

## 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.

## About Corvus Robotics

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Corvus Robotics provides an autonomous inventory intelligence platform for Fortune 500 and Global 2000 warehouses, using drones and AI copilots to automate cycle counting and material handling operations.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series unknown; backed by Y Combinator, S2G Ventures, Catalyst Investors, Spero Ventures, and Tesla’s cofounder)
- **Headquarters**: Mountain View, California, United States
- **Founded**: 2017
- **Founders**: Jackie Wu (CEO & Founder) and Kabir Mohammed (CTO & Co-Founder)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Industrial robotics / Warehouse automation / Supply chain intelligence
- **Target customers**: B2B — large enterprise (Fortune 500, Global 2000) operators of distribution centers, cold chain/freezer warehouses, and complex material handling facilities
- **Mission/purpose**: “Autonomous inventory intelligence for the physical economy” — the company exists to impact the physical economy of plants, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers, driving global economic growth by improving the supply chain.

## Products & Services
- **Corvus One®**: A fully autonomous warehouse inventory drone that flies without a pilot, stickers, or beacons, using onboard cameras for real-time scanning. Designed for cycle counting in ambient, cold chain, and freezer environments. Deployed in under one week on-site.
- **Corvus Trident™**: An AI Copilot installed on forklifts and other material handling equipment that tracks all pallet moves in real time, giving operators and managers instant visibility into inventory location changes.
- **Unified Operations Platform**: A single dashboard that aggregates data from Corvus One, Trident, and any existing WMS via API, providing one source of inventory truth and discrepancy alerts. Runs on-premise for enterprise data security.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation / Funding**: Not publicly disclosed. Institutional backers include Y Combinator, S2G Ventures, Catalyst Investors, Spero Ventures, and Tesla co-founder (implied via the company page). Also backed by executives from Amazon’s Kiva Systems.
- **Key Metric**: 300+ devices deployed across North America; 30 enterprise customers served; 26 U.S. states and territories with active deployments.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: S2G Ventures, Catalyst Investors, Spero Ventures, Y Combinator. Investors include leaders from Amazon Kiva Systems and Tesla.
- **Growth Signals**:
  - 9 distribution centers deployed with measurable results (some customers report 6x labor hours saved, recovery of $1.25M in lost inventory, reallocation of 35,000+ hours, and elimination of manual cycle counting across nine sites)
  - Launch of Corvus Trident AI Copilot (recent product expansion)
  - Appointment of Michael McSpedon as CRO (former 3x CRO who took companies to $100M+ revenue)
  - Strong headcount growth: actively hiring for multiple engineering, deployment, and assembly roles

## Competitive Advantages
- **Full autonomy**: Corvus One operates with no pilot, no stickers, no beacons — truly “lights out” warehouse autonomous flights.
- **Cold chain specialization**: Drones are purpose-built for freezer/cold storage environments where many competitors cannot operate.
- **On-prem data security**: Enterprise data stays on-premise, addressing compliance and security concerns of large logistics operators.
- **Dual product ecosystem**: Combining aerial drones (Corvus One) with forklift-mounted AI (Trident) covers both storage and movement visibility, creating a unified layer above the WMS.
- **Fast deployment**: “1 week on-site deployment” for most sites, supported by dedicated CS & implementation engineers.

## Strategic Focus
- **Physical AI expansion**: Extending from inventory counting to full material handling automation across all warehouse form factors.
- **Enterprise scaling**: Growing footprint within existing Global 2000 customer accounts and onboarding new Fortune 500 sites.
- **Product-line expansion**: Recent launch of Trident indicates a move into real-time pallet tracking and forklift-adjacent AI.
- **Geographic coverage**: Scaling deployments across North America (already in 26 states/territories) with a “built, deployed, and supported in the US” value proposition.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Mission-driven team focused on solving “some of the hardest problems” in robotics and AI with a pragmatic, direct communication style. Core values include “Whatever it takes,” “Be a good person,” and “Do work you’re proud of.”
- **Work policy**: Hybrid/onsite presence in Mountain View, CA (Bay Area). Some roles (like Assembly Technician and Hardware roles) require on-site work; software roles may have flexible hybrid schedules as noted by team testimonials.
- **Notable perks/culture highlights**:
  - High-density engineering talent — founders and CTO come from MIT and Northwestern robotics programs
  - Real-world impact: Employees work directly with customers to see robots in action in warehouses
  - “Cutting-edge innovation” in computer vision, robotics, and AI
  - Strong team culture described by current engineers as welcoming, collaborative, and focused on impactful work
  - Open to extraordinary talent: Career page explicitly invites candidates who don’t fit a job description to email career@corvus-robotics.com
- **Current open roles** (as of late 2024/2025): Robotics Software Engineer, Robotics Deployment Manager, Production Lead, Assembly Technician, Head of Marketing, and other specialized roles — signaling strong operational scaling.
