Work with us
Help us invent a new kind of platform for robots.
We're looking for talented misfits who want to do their best work at the intersection of robotics, AI, and human-computer interaction. Degrees don't matter - only skill, creativity, and drive.
What we're building
Innate builds personal AI robots. We want to make general-purpose robotics accessible, so people can create and customize what their robots do.
Our first product is MARS, a small, portable mobile robot with an arm that you can teach like an AI agent. It runs Innate OS, our open-source agentic operating system for robots, which lets you simulate behaviors before trying them, teach new skills from a few demonstrations, and share what you build.
We're a small team of seven in the Bay Area, backed by Y Combinator. Everyone here is a builder, and the work you do shows up directly in the robot and the software people use.
-
Skill over credentials
Degrees don't matter to us. What counts is what you can do, the creativity you bring, and the drive to see it through.
-
Candid
We say what we think and expect the same from you. Direct feedback is how a small team gets better quickly.
-
Collaborative
Hardware, software, and AI meet in every part of MARS. We work across those lines together rather than in silos.
-
Detail-oriented
Robots that work in the real world depend on getting the small things right. We care about the details.
