Job Description

Overview


We're seeking a Robotics Application Engineer to join our NYC-based team and own the technical journey from the moment a sale closes to the moment a robot goes live in a customer warehouse. You'll be the bridge between our sales and our field support team — gathering requirements, designing and building solutions in our lab to confirm deployment readiness, and handing off a production-ready deployment to our field team.

We are an early stage company moving very fast in a rapidly growing space, and welcome people from any background as long as you're excited to join our mission, drive immediate impact, and create a future where automation is accessible to all.


Who You Are


  • You have a strong foundation in engineering, but also genuinely enjoy working with customers. You get energy from both a great customer conversation and a productive session designing and testing engineering solutions in the lab.
  • You're organized and dependable to a fault. You own your timelines, communicate proactively, and the people counting on you always know where things stand.
  • You have a knack for understanding how complex systems work — mechanical, electrical, software — and you don't stop digging until you've figured it out.
  • You thrive in a high-trust, high-autonomy environment. You don't need to be told what the top priority is — you already know, and you're already on it.


What You'll Do


  • When a deal closes, you take over: run the customer kickoff, study their operation, collect KPIs and installation requirements, and build a project plan that keeps everything on track.
  • Reconstruct the customer's environment as needed in our Brooklyn lab — get product samples and set up realistic test scenarios so we know the solution works before we ever step on site.
  • Design clever solutions for new parts of the task using a mechatronics toolbox: design, 3D print and assemble as needed, and test it on our robots.
  • Work side-by-side with our robot pilots to prototype, run timing studies, capture performance videos, and iterate until we're hitting the customer's numbers.
  • Hand off to our field deployment team with everything they need: documented solution, schedule, requirements, and a robot that's proven in the lab.


Bonus Skills


  • Experience with robotic systems, warehouse or fulfillment environments, or industrial automation.
  • Familiarity with Linux, networking, or scripting in Python.
  • Experience sourcing components like actuators, sensors, cameras, or warehouse hardware.
