Who You Are

• You have seen a hardware platform transition from early stages to scale, and understand all of the pieces that are necessary to make that scale possible.
• You naturally consider reliability, maintainability, and operational realities when making design decisions.
• You’re comfortable moving between mechanical, electrical, and systems-level thinking.
• You thrive in high-trust, high-autonomy environments and work backwards from real-world needs.
• You enjoy turning messy, early-stage designs into clean, robust, repeatable systems.
• You are hungry for impact and personal growth, and want to help build the future of robotics with a small, highly capable team.
