Job Description

Looking to get real-world experience working on cutting-edge tech? ViaBot is searching for mechanically-minded students to help keep our fleet of robots running smoothly. This is a part-time, in-person role perfect for mechanic technician students who want hands-on learning, a flexible schedule, and a chance to travel.

What You’ll Do:

• Travel around Riverside, California to fix and maintain robots at our client sites (travel costs reimbursed by ViaBot)

• Perform routine inspections, cleaning, and repairs on our robots — with plenty of support from our expert tech team

• Use your diagnostic skills to troubleshoot mechanical and basic electrical issues

• Keep track of what you’ve fixed using our easy internal tools

• Work with all kinds of hand and power tools, from wrenches to grinders

• Prioritize repairs and handle parts shipments as needed

• Respond to maintenance requests quickly and help keep everything running smoothly

Who We’re Looking For:

• You’re currently studying (or recently graduated from) a mechanic technician or similar program

• You love working with your hands and figuring out how things work

• You’ve used hand and power tools before (in class, a shop, or on your own projects)

• You’re detail-oriented and like solving problems

• You can work solo or in a small crew without much supervision

• You’re comfortable lifting 30+ lbs and moving equipment around

• You’re open to traveling — sometimes on short notice, including weekends

• You have a valid driver’s license and work authorization

• You can communicate clearly in English

Bonus Points For:

• Experience with electrical systems or robotics (even in school projects)

• Leadership or training experience

Schedule & Perks:

• Part-time hours, with a typical shift of 2pm–7pm (we’ll work with your class schedule as much as possible)

• Paid travel and hands-on training

• The chance to work on real robots and build your skills for your future career

Location:

• Based in Riverside, California. This is not a remote job — you’ll be on-site and on the move.
