Job Description

Position Summary

• Transform prototypes into robust production systems — improve reliability,

manufacturability, assembly workflows, and field serviceability.

• Scale our robotic platform intelligently — develop documentation, standard work, test

protocols, configuration control, and validation pipelines.

• Evolve the machine — improve robotic arm behaviors, tool-changing capabilities, sensing,

actuation, autonomy, and system resilience.

• Design for hell — systems must thrive on construction sites, bases, remote terrain, disaster

zones, and extreme climates.

• Collaborate tightly across disciplines — robotics, controls, software, materials, mechanical,

manufacturing, and field ops.

• Turn real operator feedback into product improvements — listen, adapt, deploy, and repeat.

• Run testing that matters — integration bench, field trials, regression systems, environmental

validation, operator UX validation.

• Document like it matters (because it does) — build the playbooks, configuration docs,

assembly manuals, QA checkpoints, and operating standards that allow us to scale without

chaos.

• Ship robots to customers who depend on them — then make the next generation better…

every single sprint.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the design, development, and refinement of robotic systems for heavy-duty 3DCP

construction platforms.

• Support the transition of robotic components from prototype to full-scale commercial

production.

• Participate in the development and integration of new robotic capabilities.

• Ensure system robustness, reliability, and usability in harsh construction environments.

• Collaborate with systems, software, and materials engineers to optimize the integration of

robotics with the full 3DCP system.

• Translate customer requirements, workflows, and feedback into practical robotics-driven

solutions.

• Support product testing, field trials, and validation to ensure solutions meet performance,

safety, and customer satisfaction standards.

• Provide thought leadership on the future of robotic construction equipment and influence the

company’s technology roadmap.

• Oversee documentation, compliance, and manufacturability of robotic subsystems.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Robotics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering,

Mechatronics, or a related field.

• 3+ years of experience in robotics design and development, with a focus on heavy-duty or

construction equipment.

• Proven expertise with robotic arms, end-effectors, and mobile robotic platforms.

• Experience designing for rugged environments, ensuring durability, safety, and reliability.

• Strong knowledge of control systems, sensors, and automation technologies.

• Hands-on experience with rapid prototyping, integration, and field testing.

• Strong problem-solving and project management skills.

• Must be authorized to work in the U.S.

• Travel as needed by business requirements.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with 3D printing technologies, especially large-scale concrete printing.

• Familiarity with quick-change tool systems, welding automation, or material handling

robotics.

• Knowledge of hydraulics, pneumatics, and power systems for mobile platforms.

• Background in customer-facing roles or field service for construction equipment.

• Experience working in a startup or fast-paced product development environment.

• Understanding of construction industry regulations, safety standards, and certifications.

What We Look For

• Customer-driven mindset with a passion for solving real-world problems.

• Entrepreneurial spirit and adaptability to thrive in a startup environment.

• Collaborative, cross-disciplinary team player who values input from diverse perspectives.

• Innovative thinker with the ability to balance creativity and practicality.

• Resilient and resourceful, comfortable working in dynamic and challenging conditions.

• Excellent communicator, able to translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders.
