What startups in robotics and manufacturing build
Startups here build robots, factory software and the chips and compute that run them. Getting out of the lab is the whole challenge, so prototyping and testing take up much of the calendar. Roles cross mechanical, electrical and software work, and teams are small enough that people move between them.

The hiring market
What engineering work involves at an early-stage startup
You own whole parts of the product rather than one service inside a large system. Expect to write the code, deploy it, and get paged when it breaks. Reviews are quick and the codebase is small, so a decision made on Tuesday can ship on Thursday.
Experience level
Open roles by the experience the posting asks for.
