Mechatronics Engineer

> Who we areBefore 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 forA 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 electronicsCAD & rapid prototyping.Firmware: embedded C, microcontrollersSoftware: You can code and debug in C / PythonThings that we prefer to see:Experience with manufacturing processes — CNC machining, sheet metal, injection moldingYou've touched RF or high-speed signal integrity workYou've ordered parts, managed a BOM, navigated a supply chainFPGAs are a real bonusDO 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 onDesigning 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.
