Los Angeles, CA · Full-time · On-site

Our first product, ROBO-1, combines a low-cost leader-follower robot arm, fixed workstation geometry, matched simulation, and software for recording demonstrations, training policies, running evals, and deploying to real hardware.

ROBO-1 Arm

This is a deeply hands-on role. You’ll be at the bench soldering, reworking harnesses, debugging bring-up issues, tuning systems, writing code, running experiments, and closing the loop on real hardware. We’re looking for someone extremely stubborn who won’t stop until systems actually work.

What the work looks like

• Debugging motors, sensors, cameras, power, communication, and control issues in the real world
• Designing and refining fixtures, end effectors, workstation setups, and test workflows
• Working across mechanical, electrical, software, and operations to turn prototypes into robust products
• Helping define architecture, interfaces, validation plans, and engineering culture as an early team member
• Building and maintaining robotics software stacks using ROS/ROS2 for perception, control, and system integration

What we’re looking for

You should be comfortable getting your hands dirty: soldering, tracing electrical issues, debugging flaky communication, and reading logs. Your friends call you MacGyver (bonus points for your friends knowing who MacGyver is)

We’d be excited about candidates who have:

• Strong engineering ability in robotics, mechatronics, controls, or adjacent fields
• Experience with robot bring-up, integration, and full-stack troubleshooting
• Comfort working across hardware and software in messy real-world environments
• Strong bench skills, including soldering, cable and harness work, power debugging, and communication debugging
• Extra Credit: Experience writing software for real robotic systems, ideally in Python, C++, or Rust

You might be a great fit if you
