Corvus Robotics was founded in 2017 by Jackie Wu and Mohammed Kabir, went through Y Combinator in 2018, and designs and builds its inventory drones at its Mountain View, California headquarters. It says 300+ devices fly in warehouses in 26 US states, Canada and Mexico for 30+ enterprise customers. It had raised $18 million by 2024 and closed $20 million more in August 2026; YC lists a team of 30.
The Field Technician is a US contract role, and its post states no pay, benefits or contract length. The full-time Manufacturing Technician in Mountain View states $75,000 to $85,000 a year with a $75,000 starting salary, and the Product Implementation Engineer $70,000 to $90,000. No Corvus post names benefits or pay frequency.
No independent worker rating verified.

What people praise
- No robotics experience is needed for the field job: Corvus says it will train you on its mapping tools, and counts warehouse, surveying or construction work as a plus, not a requirement.
- The Manufacturing Technician post states its pay up front and allows flexible hours in the Mountain View office, from a 6am start to a regular 9 to 5.
- The product is in daily use: a GNC warehouse in Whitestown, Indiana, has flown four Corvus drones for two years and now audits its reserve stock monthly instead of quarterly.
What people complain about
- The field technician post states no pay, benefits or contract length, and does not say whether you would work as an independent contractor or through an agency.
- Field work means frequent multi-day trips and several hours at a time walking large warehouses, working around forklifts and other active industrial equipment.
- The Manufacturing Technician starts at $75,000 a year; MIT's pre-tax living wage for a single adult with no children in Santa Clara County, which includes Mountain View, was $79,043 when read in October 2026.
- We could not read any employee review: Glassdoor and Indeed refused plain reads on October 29, 2026, and a Blind search for Corvus found no thread about working there.
What has gone wrong
- March 2026. Kroger began running Corvus drones in its freezer distribution operations, scanning pallet locations in conditions down to minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Corvus would not say which sites or how many drones.
- June 2026. At a GNC warehouse in Indiana, Corvus drones took over inventory counting, and most of the original 20-person inventory team moved to other roles in the building or left through attrition. A loose flap of pallet wrap can catch a rotor and drop a drone, so staff there are trained to remove wrap fully.
- August 2026. Co-founder Jackie Wu stepped down as CEO "for health reasons alone" and stays on the board; co-founder and CTO Mohammed Kabir took over. Corvus also closed a $20 million round led by Catalyst Investors, bringing its total raised to $38 million.
Best for: People in the US who like travel and long days on foot in big warehouses and want a no-experience route into robotics field work, if they get pay and contract terms in writing first. Not for: Anyone who needs pay and benefits stated before applying, steady hours at home or a larger employer's security, and anyone uneasy working around forklifts and active warehouse traffic.
Honest catches
- Pay here is stated by the employer, not measured live from a job feed, so treat it as a benchmark rather than a guaranteed rate.
