Mechatronics Engineer
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.
