About the role
Revise Robotics · Dumbo, Brooklyn · In-person · Paid
We're automating laptop refurbishment end-to-end: a robot arm picks up a used laptop, opens it, turns it on, wipes it to NIST standards, diagnoses what's broken, fixes what it can, and prepares it for its next owner.
What we're actually looking for
Someone who has done something genuinely unusual and is good at it.
Some examples of what "unusual" might look like — not a checklist, just calibration:
-
You've built a robot that does something weird and it actually works.
-
You've reverse-engineered firmware, written custom HID devices, or have opinions about USB-C alt modes.
-
You've trained a vision model on a dataset you collected yourself because nothing existed.
-
You've shipped a hardware project where the mechanical, electrical, and software all had to work together and you did all three.
-
You have deep knowledge of something adjacent we'd never think to ask about — dry ice cleaning, capacitive sensing, industrial machine vision, BIOS internals, low-FPS visual servoing, battery safety.
-
You've done something on your own time that a reasonable person would describe as "weird" or "obsessive."
If none of those describe you but you think you'd be particularly well-suited to work on our problem, please tell us why. We'd rather hire someone with one deep, weird strength than someone well-rounded.
