About the job

About Watney Robotics

Watney Robotics is pioneering the future of autonomous robotics to enhance critical infrastructure development. Following a successful seed funding round of $21 million led by Conviction, Abstract, and A*, we are collaborating with some of the world's leading hyperscalers to expedite data center construction and maintenance.

This is your chance to join us at a pivotal stage of our journey, where you can influence the growth from prototype to full-scale production fleets. You will be instrumental in delivering operational systems, formulating deployment strategies, and making a significant impact in a transformative robotics company.

Your Role

As the engineering-focused operator, you will oversee the deployment processes for our clients, ensuring seamless systems integration, effective go-live execution, and consistent operational performance. If your background includes coding, log debugging, and managing field operations, this position allows you to leverage your diverse skill set. You will convert pilot programs into large-scale production, showcasing the comprehensive capabilities of Watney's robots and delivering essential tasks that exceed the competition.

Your Responsibilities

  • Manage end-to-end deployments: Conduct site surveys, security assessments, integration mapping, phased rollouts, and transition processes.

  • Develop operational frameworks: Create runbooks, SOPs, and dashboards; oversee uptime, task accuracy, MTTR/MTBF, and quality; lead root cause analysis and resolution efforts.

  • Feedback integration: Translate field insights into precise requirements for autonomy, control systems, and teleoperations; prioritize enhancements that impact key metrics.

  • Act as the customer liaison: Collaborate with operators, IT teams, and executives regarding service level agreements and acceptance criteria; build trust through effective on-site and virtual communication.

  • Standardize processes: Package deployment playbooks and reusable integrations to scale from initial sites to global implementations.

  • Deliver lasting integrations: Connect robots with DCIM/CMMS (ServiceNow), ticketing systems, inventory management, IAM/SSO, network configurations, and observability tools; define and implement APIs, schemas, webhooks, and messaging queues (REST/gRPC, JSON, Kafka/MQTT).

Your Qualifications

  • Proven operator (5–10 years): Experience leading critical deployment initiatives; evaluate success based on outcomes rather than activities.

  • Executive presence: Capable of setting clear expectations, delivering succinct updates, and influencing stakeholders.

  • Exceptional delivery: Skilled in providing high-touch service and ensuring customer satisfaction.
