Role
Who you are
- We require 6+ years of hands-on experience across electrical, software, and mechanical systems — you're comfortable with DC power, understand NPN vs. PNP, can write Python scripts, and can navigate CAD tools like SolidWorks
- This specific role will support our Python, Rest, and ROS2 API, so software experience is required!
- Technical Depth: 6+ years of hands-on experience across electrical, software, and mechanical systems — you're comfortable with DC power, understand NPN vs. PNP, can write Python scripts, and can navigate CAD tools like SolidWorks
- Industry Fluency: You have hands-on experience in automotive, manufacturing, or industrial automation environments — you understand the constraints, workflows, and stakeholders that come with deploying technology on a factory floor
- Operational Context: You've worked alongside or within production or assembly environments and can speak credibly to customers about cycle times, uptime requirements, safety standards, and integration with existing equipment
- Growth Mindset: You're energized by new domains and challenges, and you pick up context quickly to maximize your impact
- Clear Communication: You communicate with precision and empathy — in writing, in person, and across technical and non-technical audiences
- Bias for Impact: You prioritize user outcomes over technical elegance, and you execute with urgency
- Proactive Simplicity: You default to simple, reliable solutions and proactively flag opportunities to improve on what's proposed or already in place
- Thrives in Ambiguity: You do your best work in fast-moving, high-expectation environments alongside a diverse team
What the job involves
- Partner with sales and customers to design robotic solutions for novel applications, serving as a trusted technical resource throughout the sales cycle
- Own installations end-to-end — traveling to customer sites to install, program, and validate Standard Bots solutions in the field
- Create technical enablement materials including sample code, application notes, and white papers that help customers get the most out of our platform
- Collaborate with in-house engineering to test and refine new features and integrations as our product expands
- Contribute to marketing efforts by developing collateral that communicates the value of Standard Bots solutions to prospective customers
Our take
In recent years, the field of robotics has brought to life ideas that once belonged to the world of sci-fi. But, robots are still extremely complex to program, making the automations they facilitate out of reach for many businesses.
Standard Bots is setting out to change this, with AI-powered robots and a complementary robotics platform that means they can be programmed through simple demonstrations. This approach should broaden the accessibility of robots to businesses of all sizes, enabling them to employ automations that can give them a competitive edge.
It's an intriguing proposition, and investors agree, with the company raising substantial funding to support its mission. Standard Bots plans to use these funds to expand its engineering team and speed up the development of its robots. The company will, however, likely need to contend with competition from inexpensive robots from China as it develops into the future.
