Mechatronics Engineer Job San Francisco area,California USA,Software Development

Who we are

Before the PC, there used to be a time where computing was locked inside big corporations. But thanks to hackers of Silicon Valley, everyone now has a computer and can develop for it.

The same should happen for robotics. We're building a platform that makes it accessible: the PC of robotics. An intuitive, open, affordable general-purpose robot for everyone.

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.

What we’re looking for

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

This role covers a lot of ground. On any given day you might be laying out a PCB, designing a mechanical part, and writing firmware. If your ideal job is owning one narrow thing and perfecting it over years, we’re probably not a fit. If that description sounds limiting to you, keep reading.

The core stuff that actually excites us:

PCB design, high-speed digital and power electronics
CAD & rapid prototyping.
Firmware: embedded C, microcontrollers
Software: You can code and debug in C / Python

Things that we prefer to see:

Experience with manufacturing processes — CNC machining, sheet metal, injection molding
You've touched RF or high-speed signal integrity work
You've ordered parts, managed a BOM, navigated a supply chain
FPGAs are a real bonus

DO NOT censure yourself if you don’t meet all of these requirements, we look for fast‑learners more than anything else.

The kind of person you are

You are energized by hard problems, not intimidated by them
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

What you’ll work on

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.
