Full Job Description
YOUR MISSION

As a hardware engineer, you'll get to re-imagine and design hardware for our fleet of autonomous heavy construction equipment. You'll have a broad responsibility for scaling our hardware systems and testing for reliability in the field.

Our robots are subject to harsh conditions - hot summer days, cold and rainy winters, high vibrations, shock, and dust. You'll get to tackle these challenges head on, by sourcing new sensors for these rugged conditions and configuring them on the robots for optimal outcome.

You'll leverage your experience in mechanical and electrical design to increase reliability and longevity of our equipment by analyzing vibration and shock data, designing mounts with sound dynamic and vibrations engineering principles, and design setups for life cycle testing.

You'll create robust and replicable processes to streamline manufacturing of our AI guidance systems, and perform installations on equipment across the United States and Australia. You'll develop best practices for managing a fleet of hardware systems and will work closely with our software engineers and field team to debug, troubleshoot and resolve complex hardware issues in the field.
