Hi! We’re looking to hire a Sr Robotics Hardware Systems Engineer with Mechanical or Electrical experience on contract to help build the next generation hardware of our drone from scratch over the next several months. We have large customer contracts waiting for us to fulfill, are comfortably funded, and have clear metrics to hit next year for the next round. This is a great role for someone who loves early-stage startups and helping lead a complex hardware project from prototype to flight validation in customer facilities.
We’re Corvus Robotics, a Y Combinator and VC-backed startup, building robots that help warehouses and factories automate inventory visibility. We built Corvus One, the world’s first infrastructure-free, fully autonomous warehouse drones. We sell logistics robotics, AI software, and data-driven supply chain insights to dozens of customer facilities in North America. Warehouses touch every physical object around you, from the personal items you own to the building itself, and inventory management is a core process every warehouse and factory around the world does.
Research from Harvard shows women and URM might doubt themselves when applying -- so if you’re worried about applying, apply anyway and let us do the worrying! We strive to meet your needs at the workplace.
Requirements:
- In-person / on-site in Mountain View, CA, at least 2 days per week
- 6+ years shipping hardware, including leading a product from prototyping through EVT/DVT, shipping 100+ units
- Hands-on hardware work, not pure management or NPI -- can contribute to CAD or PCB design and testing
- Experience physically building rapid prototypes with hardware version control
- Creating & maintaining documentation / drawings for manufacturing, assembly, testing, repair
- Has led a small team with check-ins, schedule accountability, and communicating status with rest of leadership
Preferred (but not necessary):
- BS in Mechanical, Electrical, or similar (NOT a requirement)
- Experience building quadcopters, mobile robots, or laptops
- Microprocessor programming in C / C++
- Experience with Onshape
- PVT & ramping production
