About the Role
TAR builds fully islanded solar and storage campuses that power AI data centers, and it builds the construction robots that install them. Our robotics program is developing GPS/RTK-guided machines that drive piles, install racking, and grade sites at construction pace. As Field Test Operator, you will own the field test campaigns that put these machines through their paces, taking each campaign from setup through operation and troubleshooting, delivering structured data and making critical go/no-go decisions.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end execution of field test campaigns for TAR's robotic systems.
- Serve as the certified operator for testing requiring FAA Part 107 authorization.
- Set up, launch, operate, and recover test units in the field, troubleshooting and repairing issues on-site.
- Execute mission and fault-injection test profiles defined by engineering, capturing clear, structured data.
- Maintain test equipment, spares, and field tooling, and keep detailed records.
- Escalate safety-relevant issues immediately with clear documentation.
- Report operability, reliability, and failure patterns observed during testing directly to engineering.
Requirements
- 3+ years operating or testing unmanned or robotic systems in the field, or equivalent hands-on aeronautical or electromechanical experience.
- FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certification, required at time of joining.
- Demonstrated aeronautical or operational decision-making skills.
- Hands-on electromechanical troubleshooting and repair experience under time pressure.
- Comfortable working outdoors for multi-hour test windows, lifting and moving 50+ lb equipment, and adapting to variable field conditions.
- Strong documentation and communication skills.
- Open to travel and to spending multi-week stretches on-site during live deployments.
- Experience testing early-stage or pre-production robotic hardware.
- Willingness to work nights, weekends, or a rotational schedule, and to travel between test sites as needed.
- Experience with robotics systems built for austere or field-deployed environments.
- Hands-on background from an autonomy or aerospace hardware program.
