Recruiter - Hardware, Manufacturing & Technical Support

Description

The company builds robots and the AI that runs them, aiming to bring robots into factories, warehouses, homes and businesses. Nearly 9 in 10 American factories and warehouses have no robot at all.

One robot is a semi-humanoid with near-human dexterity. Another moves boxes, pallets and bulk goods for customers ranging from family-owned manufacturers to some of the largest brands in the world.

Robots are built at scale and learn as a network, pooling what the whole fleet has learned to train better AI.

Founded at MIT and based in Watertown, MA, the company is a full-stack team of researchers, engineers, technicians, operators and sellers. It designs and manufactures its hardware, trains its own models, works directly with customers of every size, and maintains its fleet across the United States.

The recruiting team is growing and needs recruiters who care about building high-performing teams.
