Entry-Level Robotics Engineer
[ COMPENSATION RANGE · ANNUAL · BASE ]
Not Disclosed
§ 01OVERVIEW
Small robotics startup needs an engineer who can build prototypes AND talk to customers. We make tile-laying robots for construction.
You'll do three things:
- Build/Fix Robots - Design parts in CAD, 3D print them, assemble prototypes, debug when things break
- Field Support - Deploy robots at construction sites, train contractors, document what fails
- Customer Development - Cold call contractors, attend trade shows, schedule demos, follow up on leads
Non-negotiable Requirements:
- Proficient in CAD (SolidWorks, Fusion360, etc.) - we need parts designed NOW
- Hands-on builder - if you don't like getting dirty, this isn't for you
- Comfortable calling strangers and visiting construction sites
- Car + license (you're driving to job sites)
- Available to start immediately
Ideal Background:
- Recent engineering grad who built robots in college
- Vex/FRC/FTC alum
- Technical person from a construction/equipment company
- Someone who's built and sold their own hardware projects
Reality:
- 3-4 days/week in our Marlboro facility (not fancy)
- You'll do everything from CAD design to tightening screws and soldering wires to cold calling contractors
- Travel to construction sites in NJ/NY area
- Small team, no bureaucracy, lots of responsibility immediately
Compensation:
- $60,000 base
- 0.5-1% equity
- Potential commission on sales you generate
To Apply:
Send resume + portfolio showing something you designed AND built. In your application, answer: "How would you convince a skeptical contractor to try our robot?"
If you need extensive training or only want to do pure engineering, this isn't the right fit.
Job Type: Full-time
Pay: $60,000.00 per year
Benefits:
• Flexible schedule
Work Location: In person
