Full-Stack Robotics Engineer

Job description

### **About CircuitHub** CircuitHub is reshaping electronics manufacturing with **The Grid**—a factory-scale robotics platform designed to make small-batch, high-mix electronics assembly radically more efficient. Think semiconductor-fab levels of precision applied to the chaotic world of prototyping and low-volume production. The result? A **10x throughput improvement** in one of the world’s most foundational industries. We’ve raised **$20M** from top-tier investors including **Y Combinator** and **Google Ventures**—and we’re already **profitable**. Our customers include industry leaders like **Tesla, Meta,** and **Zipline**. The Grid isn’t a prototype—it’s live, scaling fast, and already delivering real revenue. We’re now building the engineering core that will scale it further. ### **What We’re Looking For** We’re hiring **full-stack robotics engineers** to keep The Grid operational and push its limits. This is a **hands-on, high-impact** role based **full-time on-site** in Western Massachusetts for a minimum of two years. After that, relocation to a future Grid site or a remote transition may be possible. You’ll be embedded directly in the factory, owning both physical and software systems: tuning camera networks, fixing robot reliability issues, deploying new subsystems, and driving bold experiments to increase throughput. This is not a “write tickets, wait for ops” job. You *are* the ops. ### **Who This Role Is For** This role is only suitable for someone who has **built full robotic systems**—whether as a **hobbyist, student, employee,** or **founder**. You’ll be expected to integrate software, hardware, and process into functional systems and debug failures under real-world production pressure. We don’t hire narrow specialists. We want engineers who can: - Diagnose system-wide failures from first principles - Prototype mechanical and software fixes on the fly - Work autonomously and communicate clearly to a remote team - Take full responsibility for uptime and performance in live production ### **Example Tasks** - Configure and debug a distributed GigE vision system - Analyze end effector behavior from video and revise its geometry - Prototype and deploy a new test robot for in-line PCB validation - Travel to London/Cambridge to brief R&D teams and shape roadmap priorities ### **Why This Role Matters** You’ll be the **eyes, hands, and brain** of The Grid—directly responsible for keeping one of the most advanced electronics assembly systems in the world operating and evolving. You’ll have **board-level visibility** and help shape the future of our automation stack from the ground up. This is a **career-defining opportunity** for a high-agency engineer early in their career. If you thrive on ownership and solving real problems with real hardware, there’s no better place to be. ### **What Will Set You Apart** - Demonstrated ability to build full robotic systems (projects, startups, labs, competitions) - Strong skills in **mechanical CAD**, **low-level Python or C++**, and **basic electronics** - Experience debugging production systems under time and reliability pressure - Willingness to **live and breathe the system** for 2+ years on-site ### **Key Tools & Technologies** - **Python** for control and automation - **Beckhoff TwinCAT** for industrial PLC integration - **SolidWorks** and/or **Fusion 360** for mechanical design - **GigE Vision**, industrial sensors, motion control systems ### **Want to help us build the future of manufacturing?**
