Autonomous dual-arm robots for data centers
Expand human ambition in the physical world.
Critical infrastructure is constrained by labor shortages, hazardous working conditions, and operational complexity. Watney builds and deploys autonomous robotic systems that increase the speed and capacity of buildout, starting with data centers.
At Watney, the Business Operations Lead is the generalist who takes cross-functional work off the plate of technical staff - vendor contracts, site leases, logistics - so engineers spend their time on engineering.
Right now that work runs through whoever's closest. You'd own the work that currently falls to whoever has time - without a fixed job description waiting for you.
Build the foundational operating processes including vendor management, site leasing, and spend.
Take ad hoc vendor, contract, and logistics work off engineering and technicians.
Own cross-functional projects that don't have a natural home in one team.
Have operated as a generalist inside a small, fast-moving company.
Have owned vendor contracts, site leases, or cross-functional projects with real ambiguity in scope.
Can pick up a problem with no clear owner and drive it to resolution.
We’re committed to building a diverse, inclusive team. At Watney Robotics, we welcome people of all backgrounds and identities, and we make hiring decisions based on skills, experience, and potential. If you’re passionate about robotics but don’t meet every requirement, we still encourage you to apply!
Watney builds and deploys autonomous dual-arm robots to operate and maintain data centers and supercomputing infrastructure. Their robots perform dexterous tasks inside customer facilities, with Watney handling design, shipping, deployment, operation, and support in an end-to-end model so fleets can run around the clock. The company differentiates itself by focusing on physical AI and a robotics-as-a-service deployment for large-scale data-center work, rather than just software. Its goal is to speed up data-center construction and operations, increasing speed, capacity, and safety in industrial tasks.
