Technical Applications Specialist in Austin

What we’re doing isn’t easy, but nothing worth doing ever is. Diligent builds helpful robots that work safely and autonomously in real world environments. We move quickly, solve messy problems, and care deeply about reliability at scale. We’re hiring a Manufacturing Reliability Engineer to own production test for our robots at our contract manufacturer: you’ll design and run robust end-to-end test protocols, provision fleets of robots for production, and own the KPIs that define production quality. This role is based in Austin, TX. However, the position will require 50% travel to the Milwaukee, WI area and requires close collaboration across software, hardware, operations, and product engineering teams. Key Responsibilities End-to-end test process ownership. Create, validate, and maintain production test protocols and gating criteria from incoming inspection through final test and shipment. Provisioning of bots. Design and operate provisioning flows (imaging, firmware deployment, configuration, validation) and the tooling/fixtures needed to provision and handoff robots for production. KPIs and continuous improvement. Own key production metrics — First Pass Yield (FPY), cycle time, and test coverage — and drive continuous improvements to meet throughput and quality targets. Test automation & infrastructure. Architect, implement, and maintain automated test frameworks, harnesses, and test rigs used at the CM site. Ensure tests are stable, fast, and provide actionable failure data. Cross-functional escalation & RCA. Lead root-cause analysis for field and production failures; coordinate corrective actions with design, firmware, and CM engineering to close quality loops. On-site production leadership. Be the onsite technical authority at the contract manufacturer: train operators, debug failures on the line, and continuously refine processes with CM partners. What Success Looks Like Improved FPY and reduced rework rates across production builds. Reduced per

What we’re doing isn’t easy, but nothing worth doing ever is. Diligent builds helpful robots that work safely and autonomously in real world environments. We move quickly, solve messy problems, and care deeply about reliability at scale. As a Fleet Engineer, you'll own the reliability and continuous improvement of our deployed robotic fleet — leading hands-on investigations into how and why robots fail in the field, across the mobile base, charging/docking, motion and power, connectivity (modem), and sensor hardware. You'll combine remote data analysis with bench/lab failure analysis at our Austin HQ, turning field-technician reports and fleet data into clear problem statements, validated root causes, and corrective actions driven to closure with engineering, operations, manufacturing, and vendors. We are hiring a Lead Engineer, Issue Management & Triage to lead the systems, tooling, and team at the intersection of our Customers, Remote Operations Center (ROC), and Engineering. This is a highly technical, hands-on role focused on building the infrastructure that powers how we detect, triage, diagnose, and resolve issues across a deployed robotic fleet. You will work deeply with Engineering teams to design classification frameworks, build internal tools, and develop automation pipelines that improve reliability at scale. Location: Austin preferred, Remote possible (U.S.) Travel: if remote up to ~50% travel to Austin, TX (especially in the your first 90 days) What You’ll Do: Own Issue Management & Triage Systems Design and own end-to-end systems for issue intake, triage, and escalation. Define severity frameworks, SLAs, and ensure issues are consistently structured for engineering prioritization. Build Tools & Automation (Hands-On) Develop automation and pipelines to ingest, process, and classify operational data, reducing manual triage effort. Contribute directly to codebases (Python, backend services) and partner with Engineer
