Company mission
To develop robot-powered tools for the modern construction workforce.
Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of experience developing advanced iOS applications with large and engaged user bases
- Expert-level proficiency in iOS development, including Swift programming and mobile graphics optimization
- Strong skills in algorithm design, object-oriented programming, and functional programming principles
- Proficient in platform-centric thinking, designing scalable software architectures, robust interfaces, and tools that empower teams to build efficiently
- Delivers high-quality, maintainable code that is well-written and rigorously tested using modern UI and unit testing practices
- Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to simplify and articulate complex technical concepts effectively
- Driven by a growth mindset, constantly exploring new tools, technologies, and techniques to enhance software development processes
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience
- Prior experience with robotics or construction is not required
What the job involves
- We are seeking a lead engineer for the team that will continue to build the iPad interface that construction crews use to operate the FieldPrinter. This is a sophisticated full-size tablet app that configures the layout, commands the robot, and visualizes the layout process on a canvas
- You'll leverage your extensive experience in mobile development to design a flexible application architecture that supports our long-term feature roadmap
- You'll collaborate with engineers, product management and QA to ensure quality delivery of successive software releases
- You'll also work with other engineering leads to integrate the mobile interface with our cloud applications and the robot’s onboard software
- You’ll be a mentor and a source of wisdom within the company around mobile development
Our take
The US construction sector is at a crisis point. Costs are rising, as is demand for buildings, but this is combined with major sector short staffing, and the persistent issues of budget bloat and delayed completion dates that plague the majority of projects.
Dusty has designed a hyper-specific, high-demand robot for the construction industry. It’s an automated printing machine that lays down full-scale floor markings for construction projects, to 1mm accuracy, with rich floor lines and labelling capabilities (now including QR codes). This is a task normally carried out manually, with chalk, so Dusty’s solution offers substantial benefits in terms of accuracy, saved time, and ultimately saved costs.
Because the construction sector has resisted automation for so long, Dusty is an early entrant to a pretty uncluttered market. Firstly, it’s meant the company has been able to rapidly whip up lucrative contracts with dozens of national construction companies like DPR and Swinerton. Secondly, it means the highly pedigreed development team has comfortable scope to bring new robots to what’s expected to be an especially cash-flush, international market over the years to come.
