## Job description

Mechanical Technician — Heavy Equipment & Hydraulics Location: Austin, Texas

## About Civ Robotics

Civ Robotics develops geospatial automation and machine control solutions that help construction and solar teams complete layout work more accurately and efficiently. Our technology combines precision positioning, software, and automated field equipment to simplify repetitive tasks and help customers get more done on their job sites. As we grow our presence in Texas, we’re building a local support operation to provide customers with accessible training, responsive technical support, and reliable equipment.

## About the role

We’re looking for a hands-on Mechanical Technician with experience maintaining and repairing heavy machinery and construction equipment. Based at our Austin workshop, you’ll prepare machines for deployment, troubleshoot hydraulic and mechanical issues, and support equipment in the field. This is an opportunity to join early and help build our Texas service operation—from setting up workshop practices to developing our field-service capabilities. As the operation grows, you’ll have the opportunity to take on broader responsibility for managing the service center.

## What you’ll do

- Maintain, troubleshoot, and repair heavy equipment, including hydraulic and mechanical systems.
- Service tracked/crawler machinery, including hydraulic hoses, lines, fittings, and related components.
- Inspect and prepare incoming machines for field operation.
- Perform preventive maintenance and repairs at the Austin workshop and project sites.
- Coordinate with the technical team on equipment-specific maintenance and troubleshooting.
- Track service work, identify parts needs, and help organize workshop tools and maintenance processes.
- Travel as needed to provide field service using a company-equipped mobile service vehicle.

## What you bring

- 4+ years of hands-on experience maintaining and repairing heavy machinery or construction equipment.
- Strong practical experience with hydraulics and mechanical systems.
- Experience working on tracked/crawler equipment.
- Ability to diagnose equipment problems and carry out repairs independently.
- Willingness to travel and work in field environments.
- A safety-conscious approach and a willingness to take ownership of equipment maintenance.

## Preferred experience

- Maintenance or repair of pile drivers or pile-driving equipment.
- Installation of GPS, navigation, or machine-control systems.
- Experience helping run a workshop or service center, coordinating maintenance, or leading other technicians.

## Why join

- Take a key hands-on role in building our Austin workshop and field-service operation.
- Join a technology company bringing automation to heavy machinery and the construction industry, and help put that technology to work on real job sites.
- Work across workshop maintenance and on-site troubleshooting.
- Have the opportunity to grow into broader operational or service-center leadership responsibilities as the team expands.
- Competitive salary plus performance-based incentives.
- Equity or stock options.
- Health, dental, and vision benefits.

## About Civ Robotics

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Civ Robotics builds rugged, all-terrain robotic layout systems that automate construction staking and material placement for solar farms, infrastructure, and civil engineering projects.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed/Series unknown; $17.5M total funding)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States (with an office in Tel Aviv, Israel) [cbinsights.com](https://www.cbinsights.com/company/civdrone)

- **Founders**: Tom Yeshurun (CEO) and Liav Muler (COO) [linkedin.com](https://linkedin.com/company/civrobotics)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Construction robotics – specifically automated layout and surveying for solar farms, earthwork, road striping, and general contracting.
- **Target customers**: B2B – EPCs (engineering, procurement, construction firms), civil engineering contractors, land surveyors, and general contractors.
- **Mission/purpose**: To solve critical labor shortages on construction sites by making layout faster, safer, and accessible to anyone (no surveying license required) [civrobotics.com](https://www.civrobotics.com/).

## Products & Services
- **CivDot**: A rugged robotic layout machine for general construction staking, topographic surveying, and mapping. Marks up to 3,000 points/day with 1/10’ (30 mm) accuracy. Uses RTK GNSS and works with any base station (Trimble, Leica, Topcon, NTRIP) [civrobotics.com](https://www.civrobotics.com/faq).
- **CivDot+**: A higher-precision variant with laser-guided accuracy down to 3/100’ (8 mm). Ideal for pile driving, road markings, and tight-tolerance foundation work [civrobotics.com](https://www.civrobotics.com/faq).
- **CivDot Mini**: A compact, spray-paint marking robot designed for parking lot striping, roadway layout, and airport runway markings. Automates up to 17 miles of lines per day with sub-inch (2 cm) accuracy [civrobotics.com](https://www.civrobotics.com/faq).
- **CivNav**: A machine-mounted navigation system that guides operators to place piles and PV modules directly from blueprints. Can eliminate physical layout when used with GPS-enabled pile drivers [civrobotics.com](https://www.civrobotics.com/faq).
- **CivPlan**: Planning software for importing CSV/DXF files and defining missions.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not publicly disclosed.
- **Key Metric**: Annual revenue of ~$9M (latest estimate) [cbinsights.com](https://www.cbinsights.com/company/civdrone). Total funding of $17.5M across 14 rounds [cbinsights.com](https://www.cbinsights.com/company/civdrone).
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Trimble Inc. (strategic investment in 2022), ff Venture Capital, Drone Fund, Construction Startup Competition grant [civrobotics.com](https://www.civrobotics.com/faq) [cbinsights.com](https://www.cbinsights.com/company/civdrone).
