What We're Building:

We have been quietly building the foundational layers of our Physical AI Scientist platform:

🤖 Physical AI that can operate scientific instruments with human-level dexterity.

🧪 Scientific AI that can analyze results, reason about next steps, and close the loop autonomously.

This is an incredibly ambitious mission, but we believe that a team of ambitious people with high ownership can accomplish incredible things.

The Team:

• We’re a team of passionate, mission-driven engineers from companies like Tesla, Amazon, SpaceX, and Neuralink. We’re collaborative and love moving fast, both with our product and on team trips skiing or go-karting!
• As a team, we love nerding out about engineering and robotics — plus other topics like race cars or cooking. We like learning new things and then sharing our new knowledge with each other.
• Our team is opinionated and straightforward. We don’t mind intense discussions about design tradeoffs. If we have arguments or miscommunication, we resolve conflicts quickly and empathetically.

In this role, you will:

• Operate like the technical co-founder of a small startup within Medra, owning end-to-end delivery of high-impact customer projects

Let's talk if you have:

• 1-3 years of experience designing and work with robotics systems

Bonus points if you have:

• Experience with software engineering tools and best practices in production
• Experience in startup environments, technical leadership roles, or demonstrated interest in entrepreneurship and strategic technical roles.
• Experience with robotics in a laboratory or manufacturing environment
• Experience with robotic simulation systems such as MuJoCo
• Experience designing, building, and testing hardware
• Understanding of software communication protocols (ZMQ, Redis, gRPC, etc…)

What we offer

• 401k
• Medical insurance
• Dental Insurance
• Relocation benefits
• Unlimited PTO
• Weekday dinners
