Overview In this role you will own hardware design for warehouse robots, from schematic capture to production. You will join a small, fast-moving team to design and iterate PCBs, bring up hardware on the current robot fleet, and influence the next generation of robots. You thrive in ambiguity, wear multiple hats, and collaborate with mechanical, firmware, and software teams. You will help deploy robotics at scale and shape the hardware architecture in a hands-on startup environment.
