Full-Stack Robotics Engineer

About the role

The Grid is a factory-scale robotics platform designed to revolutionize small-batch, high-mix electronics assembly. As a full-stack robotics engineer, you will be embedded directly in the factory, owning both physical and software systems. Your responsibilities include tuning camera networks, fixing robot reliability issues, deploying new subsystems, and driving bold experiments to increase throughput.

Responsibilities

• Tune camera networks and fix robot reliability issues
• Deploy new subsystems and drive experiments to increase throughput
• Own both physical and software systems
• Debug failures under real-world production pressure
• Configure and debug a distributed GigE vision system
• Analyze end effector behavior from video and revise its geometry
• Prototype and deploy a new test robot for in-line PCB validation
• Travel to London/Cambridge to brief R&D teams and shape roadmap priorities

Requirements

• Demonstrated ability to build full robotic systems (projects, startups, labs, competitions)
• Strong skills in mechanical CAD, low-level Python or C++, and basic electronics
• Experience debugging production systems under time and reliability pressure
• Willingness to live and breathe the system for 2+ years on-site

Qualifications

• Python for control and automation
• Beckhoff TwinCAT for industrial PLC integration
• SolidWorks and/or Fusion 360 for mechanical design
• GigE Vision, industrial sensors, motion control systems

Skills

• Diagnose system-wide failures from first principles
• Prototype mechanical and software fixes on the fly
• Work autonomously and communicate clearly to a remote team
• Take full responsibility for uptime and performance in live production

Benefits

• Competitive salary range of $140,000 — $250,000 yearly
• Opportunity to work on a live, scalable robotics platform
• Embedded in a cutting-edge factory environment
• Travel to London/Cambridge to brief R&D teams and shape roadmap priorities
• Opportunity to shape the future of automation

Pay

$140,000 — $250,000 yearly

Schedule

Full-time on-site in Western Massachusetts for a minimum of two years. After that, relocation to a future Grid site or a remote transition may be possible.
