Founding Hardware Engineer (Stealth Robotics Startup) On-Site • San Francisco, CA About Us We're a tiny, fast-moving team building autonomous systems for heavy industrial machines. We retrofit existing equipment with a plug-and-play autonomy kit that taps directly into machine controls and layers on a full perception + connectivity stack: multi-sensor vision, LiDAR, high-precision GNSS, IMU, and a low-latency tele-operation network. In just a few months, we've gone from first prototype to real machines operating on active job sites, with early recurring revenue and a growing pipeline of paid pilots. We're backed by top-tier early-stage investors along with a group of founder-operators who know what it takes to build in the real world. Our founding team has built and shipped hardware, software, and robotics systems before. We thrive where physical machinery, harsh environments, and rapid iteration collide. Why Join Us You want to work on problems that actually matter - fixing how the world builds things. Construction is the backbone of civilization, and it's currently broken. We're here to change that. You don't want a cushy robotics lab job. You want to build robots in the mud, on real sites, under real constraints. You'd rather spend a week living out of a dusty RV next to a machine you're debugging than polishing a slide deck. You want to see your designs move 20-50 tons of real hardware. You want to feel the stakes. You want teammates who operate at founder-level intensity and ownership. About You You're a hacker at heart - the kind of person who gets a prototype working before most people finish their planning doc. You've built something from scratch: a company, a product, a robot, a system - success not required, agency absolutely required. You work extremely hard, laugh often, and don't mind chaos. You prefer “figure it out now” to “wait for perfect requirements.” What You'll Own As a founding Hardware / Mechatronics Engineer, you'll design and build the core systems that enable remote operation, sensing, and autonomy assistance on industrial machines. You'll work across mechanical, electrical, and embedded disciplines, often all in the same day. System Design & Prototyping Architect and build tele-operation hardware systems, including power, compute, and control modules for machine retrofits. Sensor Integration Integrate and calibrate cameras, LiDAR, radar, GNSS, IMUs, and other sensors using interfaces like GMSL, CAN, and Ethernet. Electrical & Mechanical Integration Design robust wiring harnesses, brackets, mounts, and enclosures that survive real-world abuse. Communication Interfaces Implement and validate CAN, LIN, J1939, Serial, and Ethernet connections with both existing ECUs and custom control hardware. Manufacturing & DFM Work with vendors to bring designs from scrappy prototypes to reliable production, including DFM, testing, and validation. Testing & Validation Lead machine bring-up, HIL testing, and on-site debugging alongside software and autonomy engineers. Documentation & Design Produce schematics, harness drawings, CAD models, assembly docs, and anything else needed to build and scale the hardware. Compensation & Support Base: ~$250-380k Equity: ~1-3% Full health/dental/vision, relocation + visa support, downtown SF workspace with full electronics/mech prototyping tools, 401(k), high-spec laptop, and budget for any gear you need.

Senior Software Engineer (Backend / Platform) UMATR are partnered with an early-stage technology company building an AI-driven internal platform designed to help fast-growing organisations maintain clarity, alignment, and operational efficiency as they scale. Their product acts as an intelligent internal system that understands company context, objectives, and workflows, supporting both individual contributors and leadership with real-time insight. They work closely with experienced operators and technologists from leading software organisations and are focused on solving complex problems at the intersection of data, systems, and applied AI. Their mission is to help teams scale without losing coherence, speed, or shared understanding. What You'll Do Design, build, and maintain scalable backend and platform systems Develop and operate AI-driven services that work with large and evolving datasets Take ownership of core systems in a fast-moving, early-stage environment Collaborate closely with a small team while operating autonomously Adapt quickly as product direction and technical challenges evolve What We're Looking For 3+ years of experience in backend or platform engineering Strong ability to work independently and move quickly in ambiguous environments Experience with Python, cloud infrastructure, relational databases, and API design Comfort owning systems end-to-end in production Bonus: experience with modern AI/ML systems, language-model integrations, retrieval-based systems, or agent-style architectures What We Offer Competitive salary and meaningful equity Comprehensive health benefits Meal support during in-office work Wellness and fitness reimbursement Transportation or commuting stipend Flexible paid time off A small, high-impact team with significant ownership and autonomy

Senior Agent Systems Engineer We're representing a frontier AI research group building autonomous systems that can reason, plan, and operate complex real-world engineering workflows. This is a core engineering role shaping how intelligent agents interact with tools, data, and long-horizon tasks. ⭐ The Opportunity Join a small, high-performing team designing the orchestration, planning, and execution layer that enables LLM-driven agents to reliably complete multi-step engineering processes. What You'll Do Build agent planning and orchestration systems that coordinate tool calls, workflows, and long-horizon tasks Design schemas, action interfaces, and deterministic execution flows Implement robust error-handling, rollback, retry, and reproducibility strategies Own the tooling logic that connects agents to real engineering stacks Partner with ML researchers, infra teams, and domain experts to deliver production-grade agent systems What You Bring Experience building agent systems, orchestrators, tool-use frameworks, or structured LLM pipelines Strong systems-engineering fundamentals - deterministic thinking, reliability, and failure-mode awareness Comfort designing workflows that integrate with complex real-world tools Ability to work in a fast, experimental environment where robustness matters Why This Role Excites People Build agent systems that control real physical-world workflows, not just simulations Huge scope for technical ownership and creative problem-solving Mission-driven environment focused on breakthrough autonomy Competitive salary + strong equity in a fast-scaling AI organization Interested? If you're passionate about building reliable, intelligent agent systems at the cutting edge of AI and autonomy, we'd love to speak.
