About the Role
Serve as a technical leader across the customer lifecycle, from pre-sales demos and technical discovery through deployments, training, adoption, and expansion support. Partner closely with Sales, Customer Success, Operations and Engineering to help customers successfully adopt Civ Robotics in real-world construction environments. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving hands-on technical challenges, building trust with customers, and driving outcomes that directly impact revenue and retention.
Responsibilities
- Lead technical discovery to understand customer workflows, constraints, and success criteria.
- Run compelling product demos (office + on-site) and communicate value in a practical, customer-specific way.
- Partner with Sales on evaluations, pilots, proposals, and technical validation to support closing and expansion.
- Serve as a trusted technical advisor to stakeholders across operations, site leadership, technical teams, and executives.
- Support deployments and onboarding: train customer teams on robot operation, best practices, and basic maintenance.
- Provide hands-on troubleshooting for robotic/electrical systems and hardware/software integration issues.
- Document customer interactions, common issues, and repeatable solutions; contribute to playbooks and training materials.
- Monitor adoption signals (usage, friction points, operator feedback) and proactively address risks.
- Partner with Sales / Customer Success on renewals, upsells, and long-term account health.
- Join QBRs and customer check-ins as the technical voice: outcomes, ROI, roadmap alignment, and next steps.
- Gather field feedback and share insights with Product/Engineering to drive continuous improvement.
- Help drive customer advocacy: references, case studies, and site visits.
Requirements
- 3+ years in a Sales Engineer / Solutions Engineer / Field Engineer / Technical Account / Robotics Field Ops type role (or similar customer-facing technical role).
- Hands-on experience with hardware + software systems (robotics, IoT, industrial automation, construction tech, etc.).
- Strong troubleshooting instincts and comfort working on-site in messy real-world environments.
- Excellent communication and presentation skills, able to translate technical details into business outcomes.
- Ability to work cross-functionally (Sales, CS, Product, Engineering) and thrive in a fast-moving startup.
- Willingness to travel to project sites as needed (typically ~30–35%).
- Experience in construction, solar, civil engineering, surveying, or adjacent infrastructure workflows.
- Familiarity with GNSS/GPS, RTK, total stations, or construction layout processes.
- Experience running pilots / evaluations and supporting procurement or vendor selection processes.
- Comfort working with metrics and customer health signals (adoption, retention risk, ROI).
