Own the full PCB design cycle for a startup building tactile sensing infrastructure for robotics. You will translate sensor concepts into manufacturable board designs, iterate on layouts, and collaborate on hardware architecture. This is a hands-on, zero-to-one opportunity to build the hardware layer necessary for the next generation of robotic manipulation policies.
PCB Designer at Robotics and physical AI startup
Join a VC-backed robotics startup building the physical AI hardware that will unlock the future of robotic manipulation. As a PCB Designer, you'll own the development of tactile sensor arrays from schematic to layout, working directly with founders to solve the industry's toughest data bottlenecks. Whether you are a student or a veteran designer, if you've shipped real boards, we want to talk.
