We are on a mission to bring human-like intelligence to robots.
We believe our workforce should focus on innovation and creativity; dull, dangerous, or dirty jobs should be left to robots. Our solution is powered by a type of Artificial Intelligence called Active Inference, letting robots learn resilient skills and adapt to situations they weren't explicitly trained for.
We’re a pre-Series A startup punching well above our weight, tripling our team since 2023 while building solutions for some of the world’s largest companies - including Fortune 20 customers and government contracts.
About the Team
We are a small, senior team [a varied mix of experience ranging from startups to Microsoft and Amazon], and we like working with people who came to robotics by unique and unusual routes.
We're dedicated to supporting new team members, and we care deeply about your career growth and personal development. We're a hybrid/remote team that values work-life balance, diverse perspectives, and learning from each other.
About the Job
You'll join the founding team building robotic arm systems. Enough work exists today that you won't start from a blank page; yet enough is missing that you'll own real pieces of it.
Four main areas, though they overlap more than the list suggests. Expect to work across them rather than inside one:
Motion planning – computing collision-free paths through an environment.
Control – executing those paths on real hardware, reliably.
Perception – object detection and scene reconstruction.
Manipulation – grasping and dexterous handling of objects.
You'll have people to collaborate with, including a team that answers questions, reviews your work, and shows up when something breaks. You'll be given direction, but not a detailed plan, as much of this is still unmapped. This position suits someone who takes ownership: finds the problem, solves it, and sees it through.
Nice to have
Compensation Range
110-150k depending on experience and location. This range is for candidates in the San Francisco Bay Area, New York, and Seattle. Candidates not in these regions will be considered, however, the pay range will be adjusted accordingly towards a National range.
