## About the role

The supply of experienced robotics talent is finite and every company in this category is calling the same people. Our durable edge has to be that we are great at discovering the undiscovered — and early talent is the highest-leverage version of that. The best mechanical engineer we hire in 2029 is twenty years old right now, rebuilding a Formula SAE suspension in a university garage at 2am. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 3+ years in university or early-talent recruiting, ideally engineering-heavy
- You have run a program, not just worked career fairs. You can describe the loop you designed and the conversion rate it produced
- You know the collegiate engineering competition ecosystem, and why a strong FSAE member is often a better signal than a strong GPA
- You build durable relationships with faculty, club leads, and career services that survive you changing jobs
- You have designed an intern project that produced both real work and real assessment signal
- Your best hire came from a school nobody on the panel had heard of
