About the role

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.

What they're looking for

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

  • •⁠ ⁠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

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.
