Job Description:
RIVR is a Swiss robotics company pioneering Physical AI and
robotic solutions to revolutionize last-mile delivery, giving 1
human the power of 1000. Through the combination of artificial
neural networks and innovative robot designs with wheels and legs,
RIVR aims to enhance efficiency, sustainability, and scalability in
last-mile delivery. Founded as Swiss-Mile, the company rebranded to
RIVR in 2025 to better reflect its mission of driving the future of
intelligent robotics. As a Robotics Field Engineer, you will work
on-site to install, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair robotic
systems. You provide technical support to clients, ensuring that
robotics systems operate efficiently and effectively in real-world
environments. When you are not in the field, you will design,
develop, and maintain the software systems that control and operate
our robots. Your responsibilities include writing algorithms,
creating control systems, and developing user interfaces for
robotics applications. Moreover, you design and conduct tests in
simulation and on real hardware. What you'll be doing Install
robotic systems at client sites and train clients or end-users on
the operation and maintenance of robotics systems. Diagnose and
resolve technical issues related to hardware or software components
of robots. Maintain records of service activities, issues, and
resolutions. Provide reports to the engineering team. Design and
implement algorithms for perception, localization, mapping, and
mission execution. Conduct testing, debugging, and optimization of
software for improved performance and reliability. Prepare
documentation and guidelines for software operation, maintenance,
and troubleshooting. What you must have At least MSc in Robotics,
Computer Science, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
Strong technical knowledge of robotics hardware and software.
Excellent communication skills for client interaction and training.
Flexibility to travel to different locations as needed. Strong
proficiency in programming C++ and/or Python. Experience with
robotics frameworks and libraries, such as ROS2. Experience working
on and troubleshooting real robot hardware. Due to visa sponsorship
limitations, applicants must be currently authorized to work in the
United States on a full-time basis. The company does not anticipate
providing sponsorship for employment visa status (e.g., H-1B or TN
status) for this position. RIVR is committed to building a diverse
and inclusive team that values every perspective. If you’re
passionate about driving innovation in robotics and creating
meaningful impact, we encourage you to apply and bring your unique
self to our team. We believe the best work is done when
collaborating and therefore require in-person presence in our
office locations.
