About The Position

The Robotics Field Technician will travel to our customer sites to install systems, train employees, and provide on-site support. This position combines robotics, controls, and electrical work, as well as excellent customer support and interaction. The successful candidate will be able to troubleshoot and service ARIS Technology systems at our valued customers’ locations. ARIS Technology is an advanced system integrator, which designs, builds, installs, trains, and supports intelligent turn-key robotic 3D scanning systems end-to-end. ARIS systems are powered by our proprietary software, making it easy for operators to perform complex 3D metrology with little training, using advanced technologies in digital twin, simulation, and AI / ML. We also provide various Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) via hand-guided collaborative robot (cobot) programming, haptic sensing, or VR / AR. Our intelligent and human-friendly metrology solution can help with 3D inspection, 3D metrology-based robotic manufacturing (e.g., welding, grinding, CSAM / WAAM), or AI training for failure prediction (e.g., predicting metal deformation from in-situ monitoring data.
