Join us if you thrive working on hard, unsolved technical challenges on the cusp of what is feasible, in order to make the biggest positive impact you can for real people and not just corporations and assembly lines. This role owns Actuation end-to-end from concept to production; think actuators and mechanisms.

About You:

You are clearly a go-getter.

You build things that work, fast.

You are decisive. You naturally gravitate toward doing instead of (over)analyzing. You also know how to dive deeply into a problem if warranted.

You have a very low ego-to-ability ratio.

You are mission-driven. You care more about what you can do for the company than vice versa.

You have a deep sense of integrity and responsibility. (Won't stop till it's done, won't let folks down. Team player.)

Key Characteristics:

• You’ve designed and built something impressive involving actuators and motion control, and (possibly “or”) you’ve designed and built some impressive mechanism(s).
• You have a strong understanding of physics first principles.
• Your experiences have demonstrated your exceptional ability.

Preferred Experience:

• ~3 to 99 years of experience. Feel free to count industry internships.
• Industry experience designing robotics at places like the following:
  • Humanoid / Quadruped or other AI robotics (Tesla Optimus, 1X, Unitree, Sanctuary, Amazon Robotics, Apptronic, Boston Dynamics, etc)
  • Robotic Hands (Wuji, Allex, see table at end of this blog post; bonus if tendon/cable driven)
  • SpaceX or other kickass aero/space startup
  • Consumer drone companies (Skydio, DJI, one of the many strong new drone startups)
  • Automotive from fast-paced co’s like Tesla
  • Surgical robotics from fast-paced co’s like Neuralink
