  • Develop and implement bring-up, calibration, test, and quality validation procedures and systems to ensure smooth deployment of hundreds of mechanisms in facilities across the country
  • Support the team in designing for long term reliability by providing design input and by leading long term reliability testing campaigns, ensuring testing campaigns are designed to induce appropriate end-of-life failure modes
  • Own equipment deployment, validation and verification activities prior to hand-off to customer ownership 
  • Own and/or assist in root cause analysis and corrective action for software/hardware components of automation equipment
  • Evaluate and identify improvements to validation process on systems integration of automated equipment
  • Maintain accurate and complete records of testing and validation procedures
  • Leverage wide breadth of engineering knowledge to generate proper solutions to a equally diverse set of problems
  • Lead projects requiring cross-team coordination, project management, resource management, decision making, and highly effective communication on tight timelines
  • Develop and maintain high level of communications with cross-functional engineering team
  • Assist growing the I&T team through leadership, mentorship, and business/operational process improvement.

What We’re Looking For

  • Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or similar
  • Experience with CAD (SolidWorks preferred)
  • 5+ years in robotics or automation
  • 3+ years of leadership experience
  • Experience working with industrial mechatronics hardware – custom sheet metal/machined parts, motors & drives, belts/chains, bearings, sensors, actuators, etc.
  • Experience applying project management principles
  • Hands on aptitude – able to dive in and troubleshoot a variety of system issues across multiple engineering disciplines
  • Idea generation and execution
  • Desire to work in a fast-paced startup environment with the intention to have a positive impact on the world

What we’d love to see

  • Experience designing and manufacturing parts/assemblies/mechanisms
  • Experience with mechatronics systems (robotics, control systems, programming languages such as C++ is a plus)
  • Experience in food tech
  • Six Sigma or other formal quality training
  • Experience managing engineering projects
  • Not afraid of robots

What You Get

  • A chance to be an early team member and leader of a rapidly growing startup and have an impact on company and technology direction
  • The ability to solve challenging problems with a skilled, dedicated and friendly multi-disciplinary team
  • A balanced, highly collaborative work environment 
  • A Hybrid work structure
  • Competitive medical, dental, and vision coverage, with 401K, life and disability coverage
  • A PTO policy where we encourage and expect all employees to take time to enjoy life outside of work

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
