Description
ROBOTICS LEAD MENTOR
About KIPP NorCal
We are a thriving nonprofit network of free, public charter schools open to all students. At KIPP, we believe all children should grow up free to create the future they want for themselves and that schools can and should be a critical factor in making that vision a reality. Together with families and communities, we create joyful, academically excellent schools that prepare students with the skills and confidence to pursue the paths they choose-college, career, and beyond-so they can lead fulfilling lives and build a more just world.
Our student community consists of over 7,000 elementary, middle, and high school students across East Palo Alto, Oakland, San Francisco, San Lorenzo, San Jose, Redwood City, and Stockton. We strive to cultivate a representative team of educators and leaders that reflects our students' diversity.
Role Overview
The Robotics Lead Mentor leads KIPP King Collegiate's FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) program, creating an engaging, safe, and high-quality engineering experience that develops students' technical knowledge, leadership skills, and passion for STEM. This role partners with the Robotics Club Advisor, volunteer mentors, families, and school staff to deliver a successful year-round robotics program, including preseason activities, competition season, and community outreach.
In this role, you own projects end-to-end with real autonomy over how the work gets done. You make day-to-day execution decisions and bring your manager in when something would change the program's direction or require resources beyond your scope.
Core Responsibilities

  • Develops seasonal plans, practice schedules, competition preparation, and outreach activities that maximize student learning, teamwork, and competitive readiness.
  • Implements program improvements informed by student outcomes, mentor feedback, and evolving FIRST Robotics best practices.
Student Development and Competition
  • Leads technical instruction in engineering design, programming, fabrication, and robotics systems so students build the skills necessary to compete successfully and safely.
  • Coordinates participation in all competitions, preseason events, and outreach opportunities, ensuring students are prepared academically, technically, and behaviorally.
  • Develops a team culture that promotes collaboration, perseverance, inclusion, academic responsibility, and gracious professionalism.
Volunteer and Community Partnership
  • Coordinates volunteer mentors by aligning responsibilities with individual expertise and ensuring consistent support for student learning and team operations.
  • Develops strong partnerships with families, school staff, community organizations, and competition partners that strengthen student participation and program sustainability.
  • Implements communication systems that keep families and stakeholders informed about practices, competitions, travel, and program expectations.
Program Operations and Compliance
  • Manages robotics facilities, equipment, tools, and materials to ensure safe, organized, and effective program operations.
  • Implements safety procedures, required certifications, and student training so all activities comply with FIRST Robotics, school, and district requirements.
  • Coordinates travel logistics, facility reservations, equipment inventory, and operational planning that support successful competitions and events.
Budget and Resource Stewardship
  • Manages the robotics program budget, monitoring expenditures and ensuring resources are allocated effectively to support student learning and competition goals.
  • Coordinates fundraising and grant opportunities with the Robotics Club Advisor and school leadership to sustain and expand program opportunities.
  • Maintains accurate inventories of robotics equipment, tools, and supplies to ensure responsible stewardship of program resources.
  • Other duties as assigned.

These competencies describe the core leadership behaviors expected at this level-they guide how we hire, develop, and grow our people at KIPP NorCal.
  • Lead Self: You seek diverse feedback, adjust your approach based on your impact on others, and continuously develop your expertise. You interrupt bias, advocate for equitable practices, and share your knowledge with peers.
  • Lead People: You build authentic relationships across lines of difference and foster inclusion and psychological safety. You communicate the rationale for change, build buy-in, and surface resistance early. You partner across teams, identify coordination gaps, and resolve them proactively.
  • Lead Results: You translate strategy into project plans and manage competing priorities without losing sight of outcomes. You use data to analyze problems and inform decisions, deliver on time and scope, and manage up effectively-flagging risks early and bringing options when facing obstacles.
