Robotics Engineer

LuxWall is focused on the product development, scaling and commercializing of innovative glass products and solutions for the built environment. LuxWall’s transparent insulation technology, Enthermal Glass, provides a step change in energy performance by significantly reducing convective, conductive, and radiative heat gain and heat loss in buildings. Acting as a transparent thermos bottle for building, LuxWall has the potential to reduce global carbon emissions by more than 0.5 gigaton per year with mass adoption. Enthermal Glass will forever change the way buildings are designed and constructed for the future sustainability of our planet.We are excited to offer you an opportunity to work at LuxWall, Litchfield, MI for roughly 4-6 months ( overnight expenses paid by company). This assignment will allow you to gain valuable experience and broaden your skill set. Following this period, you will transition to LuxWall’s Factory 2 plant in Detroit, MI., where you can apply the insights and expertise gained during your time at Litchfield. We believe this will be a rewarding experience that will strengthen your career development within our organization.Job Overview:At LuxWall, Robotics Engineers design, build, test, and implement robotic systems and machinery to perform specific tasks efficiently, safely, and reliably.
