Ctrl's missions increasingly run on the ground and under it - quadrupeds, crawlers, and confined-space systems operating where people shouldn't have to go.
As a Robot Operator you'll pilot and supervise uncrewed ground systems on industrial sites: substations, tunnels, plants, and remote assets.
You'll own the mission from mobilization to data handoff.
Note: This role includes confined-space and industrial-site work. Safety training is provided and non-negotiable.
What You'll Do
- Operate ground robots and confined-space systems for inspection and mapping missions.
- Configure sensor payloads - Li DAR, RGB, thermal, gas detection - per mission spec.
- Execute site safety plans, lockout/tagout coordination, and confined-space entry protocols.
- Monitor autonomy behavior and intervene cleanly when conditions change.
- Deliver structured field data and mission logs into the Ctrl data pipeline.
- Provide feedback to engineering on platform reliability and field ergonomics.
- What You'll Bring
- 2+ years operating industrial robotics, ROVs, UGVs, or comparable uncrewed systems.
- Confined-space entry and industrial safety training (or willingness to certify fast).
- Mechanical aptitude - you can field-strip, trouble shoot, and repair your platform.
- Calm, methodical decision-making in degraded-comms and low-visibility conditions.
- Willingness to travel to remote and northern sites.
- RPAS certificate an asset - many missions pair ground and air systems.
Résumés don't fly missions. If the work fits and the checklist doesn't, apply anyway.
Why Join Us
We keep the team small and the stakes high. At Ctrl, you'll
- Work on systems that fly, drive, and dock in the real world - not demos. Our platforms run missions for energy, government, and security operators today.
- Own outcomes end to end. Small team, short chain of command, and direct access to the people making the calls.
- See your work in the field within weeks, not quarters. We build, deploy, and learn on real sites in real conditions.
- Grow with the deployed fleet - as the network of docks, sensors, and missions scales, so does your scope.
- Competitive salary with equity participation
- Health and dental coverage
- Field kit, certifications, and training on us
- Performance-based equity top-ups as the company grows
