About the role
About you and this role
Robust AI is a fast-growing, early-stage startup founded in 2019 by an unsurpassed team of veterans in robotics, AI, and business. We are a collaborative group with a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives, seeking talented individuals who are just as excited about robotics and AI as we are! Help us redefine the very foundation of robotics and build robots that are smart, collaborative, robust, safe, flexible, and genuinely autonomous.
As an Electrical Engineer at Robust AI, you will join a small, fast-paced team designing and deploying the next generation of warehouse robotic systems. You'll own schematic capture and board layout for custom PCBs, get your hands dirty debugging and bringing up hardware on our current robot fleet, and help inform the design of our next-generation robot. You thrive in ambiguity, move quickly, and are comfortable wearing multiple hats — the kind of engineer who's happiest when a scope, a soldering iron, and a stack of datasheets are all within arm's reach. You're excited about seeing robots deployed at scale, and you can pivot effectively as priorities shift in an early-stage startup environment.
The base pay range for this role is between $160,000 and $200,000, depending on your skills, qualifications and experience.
