Senior Recruiting Coordinator

Our client is finding an experienced Talent Acquisition Recruiter to own full-cycle recruiting across the organization as the company continues to scale.

In this role, you'll manage searches end-to-end, from intake and sourcing strategy through interviews, offers, negotiation, and close. You'll recruit across AI/ML, robotics hardware and software, simulation, robot operations, product, business, and executive operations while partnering directly with technical leaders and functional heads. You'll also leverage AI and recruiting data to improve sourcing, candidate evaluation, pipeline management, and overall recruiting efficiency.

The ideal candidate has deep experience recruiting within robotics, autonomy, or a comparable deep-tech environment and can move confidently across highly technical and non-technical searches. You are a proactive sourcer, credible partner to technical leaders, and independent operator who uses AI as a meaningful part of your day-to-day recruiting workflow.

• Own full-cycle recruiting from intake and role scoping through sourcing, screening, interview design, candidate management, offer development, negotiation, and close.
• Lead searches across AI/ML, robot hardware and software, simulation, robot operations, product, business, and executive operations without being limited to a single discipline.
• Develop targeted talent maps and proactively source through outbound outreach, referrals, research labs, university pipelines, conferences, open-source communities, and competitor research.
• Partner closely with hiring managers to define requirements and evaluation criteria, calibrate on candidate quality, and maintain momentum through regular pipeline reviews.
• Deliver a high-quality candidate experience through timely, prepared, and transparent communication throughout the recruiting process.
• Build and refine AI-assisted recruiting workflows for sourcing research, candidate summarization, outreach, scorecard synthesis, market intelligence, and pipeline reporting.
• Track recruiting metrics, including pipeline health, stage conversion, time to fill, source effectiveness, and offer acceptance, and use insights to adjust recruiting strategies.
• Maintain accurate ATS data and ensure recruiting processes remain structured, consistent, and compliant.

• Experience recruiting through a period of rapid post-funding headcount growth.
• An existing network in the Boston/Cambridge or Bay Area robotics and AI communities.
• Experience hiring research-profile candidates (PhD, publication record, lab background).
• Familiarity with hardware program timelines and how hiring maps to build and test milestones.
• Experience building prompt libraries, custom agents, or internal AI tooling for a talent team.

What You'll Do:

• Run full-cycle recruiting. Intake and role scoping, sourcing strategy, screening, loop design, candidate management, offer construction, negotiation, and close.
• Hire across the whole company. Our open roles span AI/ML, robot hardware, robot software, simulation, robot operations, product and business and executive operations. You will not be siloed in one discipline.
• Source proactively. Build targeted talent maps and work them. Outbound sourcing, referrals, research labs, university pipelines, conferences, open-source communities, and competitor mapping — not inbound triage.
• Partner closely with hiring managers. Lead crisp intakes, calibrate on real signal, push back when a bar or scorecard is unclear, and keep loops moving with weekly pipeline reviews.
• Own the candidate experience. Be the recruiter candidates remember for being fast, prepared, and straight with them — including when the answer is no.
