Full-Stack Robotics Engineer
Circuithub 4.2
Controls engineer job in South Deerfield, MA
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?
