About Treeswift

In the face of rising threats, increasing pressure on affordability, and unprecedented demand for power, Treeswift empowers energy companies to modernize their field work to meet the growth and challenges ahead.

We build physical AI for the field worker: whether on foot or in a vehicle, our technology is an ironman suit for engineers, linemen, and vegetation crews: same worker, same boots on the ground, now operating at 10x productivity. Our platform is powered by cutting edge hardware, sensors (LiDAR, camera, etc…), AI and software designed to revolutionize work in the toughest environments.

Since our first pilot with a utility in June 2024, we've grown fast, now working with three of the five largest utilities in the US. To date, our technology has enabled our customers to reduce wildfire risk, regulatory and outage risk from vegetation, avoid delays and cost overruns in new construction, and accelerate recovery from severe storms.

To tackle this challenge, we are bringing together a team of mission-driven experts with deep industry experience in robotics (Penn, Caltech, CMU) and enterprise software development (Palantir, Stripe, Oracle, MongoDB). We have raised funding from leading investors including Penny Pritzker’s Inspired Capital.

We are headquartered in midtown Manhattan, with additional offices in San Francisco and Philadelphia.

Our growth is only accelerating. We’re looking for deeply curious and highly ambitious people who want to have a real world impact. Come build the future of (field) work with us.

The Position

Treeswift is looking for a Senior Recruiter to join our Recruiting team and own hiring for our Hardware and Robotics organization as we scale. You'll partner directly with our Head of Hardware to build the team designing and deploying the sensor systems at the core of our product. You'll recruit across electrical engineering, embedded systems, firmware, mechanical engineering, robotics, sensor integration, perception, systems engineering, manufacturing engineering, and field robotics.

This is a senior individual contributor role built around one core strength: you know the hardtech ecosystem inside and out, and you know how to get people who weren't looking to consider Treeswift. That instinct is what will set the bar for how we attract this high-impact talent as the team grows.

What You'll Do

• Own full-cycle recruiting for Hardware and Robotics searches from role scoping and sourcing strategy through close
• Partner closely with hiring managers to deeply understand technical requirements, calibrate on candidates, and move searches forward with speed and clarity
• Build proactive candidate pipelines through Linked In, referrals, technical communities, and other creative sourcing channels for hard-to-find hardware and robotics talent - this is not just a reactive inbound role
• You are a specialist in this area but can also flex into embedded searches within engineering as priorities shift or the business.
• Drive an excellent candidate experience from first touch through offer - keeping candidates engaged, informed, and excited about Treeswift
• Contribute to how we evolve our recruiting practices: interview structure, evaluation frameworks, offer strategy, and beyond
• Represent Treeswift's brand and mission to every candidate you interact with and be able to sell the Hardware vision

• You have 6+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience across hardware and robotics
• In-house experience at a high-growth hardware or robotics startup preferred; agency background welcome if paired with in-house experience
• You can hold your own in conversations with hardware and robotics leaders about what "great" looks like for a given role
• You're a strong sourcer who doesn't wait for inbound. You know how to find and engage hardware and robotics talent who aren't actively looking, including in niche or specialized technical communities
• Ability to translate complex…
