The hardest part of robotics field service is not the robots — it is the people. Qualified technicians who can work across multiple robotics platforms are scarce, and every new deployment increases demand. Here is how Robo Reliance builds and maintains its nationwide technician network.

Sourcing through a professional recruiting engine. Technician recruiting is powered by Riderflex, the executive recruiting firm founded by Robo Reliance founder Steve Urban. Riderflex specializes in robotics and AI talent, which means our pipeline starts with candidates who already fit the work — mechatronics backgrounds, field service experience, and the customer-facing skills that on-site work demands.

Vetting before anyone touches a robot. Every contractor goes through background checks, safety acknowledgment, confidentiality agreements, and insurance verification before being deployed to a client site. These are skilled technicians working on sophisticated equipment in demanding environments like food production facilities — not casual labor.

Platform certification. Technicians are trained and certified on the specific robot platforms they will service before dispatch. Because clients increasingly run equipment from multiple manufacturers, multi-platform capability is the core of our training model.

The 1099 model is what makes it scale. Instead of hiring hundreds of full-time technicians, Robo Reliance recruits, vets, trains, and deploys independent contractors. That lets us put a certified technician in virtually any US market without building brick-and-mortar locations — and it is why robotics companies partner with us instead of building their own field organizations.

If you are a robotics technician interested in field work, or a robotics company that needs a nationwide service layer, call (800) 838-0156 or email info@roboreliance.com. We Keep Robots Running.
