We are seeking an experienced and hands-on Robotics Operations Manager to own the end-to-end ecosystem of AI.DA, Strategic Technology Centre (STC)'s Next-gen Edge AI & Robotics Lab (NEAR)'s multi-robot 'physical AI' testbed. You will serve as the custodian of the physical fleet, managing a lab housing aerial swarms, quadrupeds, and humanoid robots.
In this role, you will bridge the gap between safety compliance, logistics, and active experimentation. You will manage lab build-outs, lead field test operations, and handle regulatory approvals (e.g. CAAS). You will have explicit authority to veto flights or experiments on safety grounds. This is a primarily on-site role, ideal for a highly independent operator who thrives in a technical environment and is not afraid to handle hardware. The role is on a 2 year contract, with the potential to convert into a permanent position based on performance.
