    Job description

    Who we are

    Before the PC, there used to be a time where computing was locked inside big corporations. But thanks to hackers of Silicon Valley, everyone now has a computer and can develop for it.

    The same should happen for robotics. We're building a platform that makes it accessible: the PC of robotics. An intuitive, open, affordable general-purpose robot for everyone.

    If you're going to work on something crazy hard, it might as well matter. We're a small team that cares: about the problem, about the people using our robots, and about building a product that will still mean something years from now. We are our own users.

    What we're looking for

    A generalist mechatronics engineer who has built and shipped before and feels confident working on a mass consumer product.

    This role covers a lot of ground. On any given day you might be laying out a PCB, designing a mechanical part, and writing firmware. If your ideal job is owning one narrow thing and perfecting it over years, we're probably not a fit. If that description sounds limiting to you, keep reading.

    The core stuff that actually excites us:

    • PCB design, high-speed digital and power electronics

    • CAD & rapid prototyping.

    • Firmware: embedded C, microcontrollers

    • Software: You can code and debug in C / Python

    Things that we prefer to see:

    • Experience with manufacturing processes — CNC machining, sheet metal, injection molding

    • You've touched RF or high-speed signal integrity work

    • You've ordered parts, managed a BOM, navigated a supply chain

    • FPGAs are a real bonus

    DO NOT censure yourself if you don't meet all of these requirements, we look for fast-learners more than anything else.

    The kind of person you are

    •⁠ ⁠You are energized by hard problems, not intimidated by them
    •⁠ ⁠You are driven to build things for the real world
    •⁠ ⁠Who you're building with with matters as much as what you're building
    •⁠ ⁠You value dynamism, new problems every week

    What you'll work on

    Designing and building the physical systems that make our robots work — electronics, mechanics, firmware, and everything in between. Think about and design the product, with the rest of the team, and stay close to customers' needs.
