- Must hold a valid passport and the ability to travel throughout the U.S., Canada, and Mexico as needed to support deployments and customer engagements
- Strong experience with Linux or Unix systems, ROS (Robot Operating System), and SLAM-based navigation

What the job involves
- As a Deployment Engineer at Locus Robotics, you’ll be hands-on with autonomous mobile robots in some of the largest fulfillment centers across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico
- You’ll map, configure, and launch mission-critical automation systems while building strong customer relationships and seeing the results of your work in real time
- This role requires extensive travel (up to 90%) across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, and candidates must reside near a major airport to support frequent travel needs
- Implement and deploy complex robotic order fulfillment solutions at customer sites, including the installation and integration of robotic hardware, software, and supporting server infrastructure
- Create and configure SLAM-based maps of warehouse fulfillment centers using AutoCAD or similar CAD software, ensuring accurate representation of the operational environment
- Manage onsite customer relationships, coordinating effectively with both internal teams and external stakeholders to ensure alignment and project success
- Assist with infrastructure setup, robot and software configuration, and provide support during the initial system deployment phase
- Provide on-site customer support following system installation to ensure smooth operation and address any initial issues or adjustments
- Perform other duties as required
- This role requires the ability to lift, pull, and push up to 50lbs, as well as frequently bend, stoop, lift, walk, and reach
Our take
Many order fulfilment warehouses rely on a combination of human workers and machinery to operate packaging assembly lines. However, these workflows are time-consuming and repetitive, showing the potential for human workers to be replaced with AI-driven robots.
Locus Robotics provides automated robotic technologies for fulfilment warehouses, offering a range of different robots for different workflows. Every robot outputs data that can be tracked and analyzed, and they can be installed rapidly and scaled depending on business size.
Whilst robots in warehouses is not a new concept, they are generally limited to warehouse giants such as Amazon. Locus Robotics, however, has taken a flexible and accessible approach to its technology, aiming to increase access and affordability so that smaller businesses can scale.
Having picked over three billion items across its network of customers, the company is well established. It has also seen significant funding which has supported international expansion. In the longer term, it has plans to consider an IPO, as long as market conditions allow.
