TerraWise builds fully autonomous inspection robots for utility-scale solar operations and maintenance (O&M). We’re scaling deployments across the U.S. and looking for hands-on engineers who thrive in the field, love solving real-world problems, and want to shape the future of autonomous solar operations.

What You’ll Do

• Travel to customer solar sites across the U.S.
• Lead on-site deployment, setup, and maintenance of TerraWise’s autonomous robot.
• Interface directly with customers, technicians, and site managers to ensure smooth integration and training.
• Diagnose mechanical, electrical, and network related issues in the field
• Collaborate with our autonomy, perception, and software teams to relay field feedback and drive product improvement.
• Own the end-to-end deployment workflow. From pre-site checks to full platform commissioning and post-deployment validation.

Requirements

• 3–5+ years as a mechanical or electrical technician
• Ability to travel frequently and work in challenging outdoor environments.
• Strong hands-on troubleshooting skills with electro-mechanical systems (motors, batteries, sensors, embedded hardware).
• Excellent communication and customer-facing skills to represent TerraWise professionally during deployments.
• Comfortable improvising and problem-solving in the field resourcefully.

Bonus Skills

• Experience on utility-scale solar construction or O&M sites.
