Robotics Field Operations Associate (Doral, Miami)

At Serve Robotics, we’re reimagining how things move in cities. Our personable sidewalk robot is our vision for the future. It’s designed to take deliveries away from congested streets, make deliveries available to more people, and benefit local businesses.
The Serve fleet has been delighting merchants, customers, and pedestrians along the way in Los Angeles, Miami, Dallas, Atlanta and Chicago while doing commercial deliveries. We’re looking for talented individuals who will grow robotic deliveries from surprising novelty to efficient ubiquity.
Who We Are
We are tech industry veterans in software, hardware, and design who are pooling our skills to build the future we want to live in. We are solving real-world problems leveraging robotics, machine learning and computer vision, among other disciplines, with a mindful eye towards the end-to-end user experience. Our team is agile, diverse, and driven. We believe that the best way to solve complicated dynamic problems is collaboratively and respectfully.
Job Overview
As an Operations Associate, you’ll play a key role in ensuring the smooth and reliable performance of our autonomous delivery robots. While our robots are designed to operate independently, there are times when they need a helping hand—whether it’s navigating around unexpected obstacles, dealing with technical issues, or responding to environmental challenges. That’s where you come in.
In this hands-on role, you’ll assist robots in the field, perform light maintenance tasks like cleaning sensors, and help ensure that deliveries are completed safely and on time. Your quick problem-solving and on-the-ground support will help minimize service interruptions and protect valuable equipment. You’ll also document incidents and share observations that directly contribute to the ongoing improvement of our technology and operations.
You’ll collaborate closely with teams across operations, engineering, and customer support—helping to manage robot deployments, escalate technical issues, and support safety and training initiatives.
This role is onsite 5 days a week in our Doral Miami, FL hub.
