• Support research and data collection teams in the preparation and execution of experimental sessions.
• Adapt setups to suit specific experiment protocols or hardware requirements.
• Build and reconfigure physical testing environments (e.g. indoor navigation spaces, mock domestic/industrial settings).
• Experiment and Data Collection Support
• Use hand tools, basic power tools, soldering equipment, and test instruments as required.
• Support compliance with internal lab protocols and assist with audits where necessary.
• Assist engineering teams in the assembly and modification of mechanical and electrical prototypes.
• Provide technical assistance during testing to minimise downtime.
• Set up robots and related systems in advance of tests; monitor equipment during live runs.
• Ensure proper data handling, including logging, backups, and equipment checks.
• Maintain accurate maintenance records and fault logs using internal systems.
• Monitor and manage stock levels of components, tools, consumables, and equipment.
• Help coordinate lab usage and maintain shared workspaces.
• Carry out routine inspections, calibrations, and preventative maintenance on robotic systems.
• Diagnose and resolve hardware and software issues, including actuators, sensors, cabling, and Linux based systems.
• Maintain a safe, tidy, and compliant workspace in line with health and safety regulations.
• Follow technical drawings and instructions for constructing or adjusting subsystems.
