The all-in-one, most intuitive, most affordable industrial robots. Backed by General Catalyst.
About the role
The AI Applications Engineer sits at the intersection of robotics, AI, and hands-on field work. You're not a pure software engineer and you're not a pure hardware engineer -- you're the person who can look at a manufacturing challenge, figure out how computer vision or a language model makes the robot smarter, and then actually build and deploy the solution.
What they're looking for
- - Robot programming proficiency or adjacent software experience -- if you can write Python without an AI agent, you can probably program a robot having never touched one before
- - Prior robotics knowledge -- anything from high school robotics to professional manipulation experience, we care that you've actually worked with robots, not just read about them
- - Surface-level fluency in ML models and techniques -- you can have a real conversation about convolutional neural networks, object detection, and visual language models without Googling the definitions mid-sentence
- - Technical proficiency in an engineering environment -- you write documentation, manage your own projects, work well with a team, and don't need someone watching over your shoulder
- - Willingness to travel -- up to 50% domestically right now, that number will come down as we grow
- - Mechanical Design -- pneumatics, camera mounts, end-of-arm tooling for manipulators, bonus points if you've designed a gripper
More about this role
Standard Bots is building the next generation of industrial robots -- hardware that's powerful, affordable, and designed to scale. We're the largest U.S. industrial robotics company by robots shipped, and our robots are showing up on factory floors everywhere from independent machine shops to NASA and Lockheed Martin.
Note: This role requires up to 50% domestic travel. That number goes down as we grow the team, but right now you're in the field -- a lot. If that's not for you, this probably isn't the right fit.
Also note: If you're looking for a role where you train models and push code, this isn't it. This is a mechanical + electrical + software trifecta that happens to use AI as a tool. The factory floor is your office.
