Modular robotics refurbishes electronics for resale
Revise Robotics · Dumbo, Brooklyn · In-person · Paid
We're automating laptop refurbishment end-to-end: a robot arm picks up a used laptop, opens it, turns it on, wipes it to NIST standards, diagnoses what's broken, fixes what it can, and prepares it for its next owner.
What we're actually looking for
Someone who has done something genuinely unusual and is good at it.
Some examples of what "unusual" might look like — not a checklist, just calibration:
You've built a robot that does something weird and it actually works.
You've reverse-engineered firmware, written custom HID devices, or have opinions about USB-C alt modes.
You've trained a vision model on a dataset you collected yourself because nothing existed.
You've shipped a hardware project where the mechanical, electrical, and software all had to work together and you did all three.
You have deep knowledge of something adjacent we'd never think to ask about — dry ice cleaning, capacitive sensing, industrial machine vision, BIOS internals, low-FPS visual servoing, battery safety.
You've done something on your own time that a reasonable person would describe as "weird" or "obsessive."
If none of those describe you but you think you'd be particularly well-suited to work on our problem, please tell us why. We'd rather hire someone with one deep, weird strength than someone well-rounded.
What you'll do here
Work on whatever part of the pipeline your background makes you particularly formidable at. Recent intern-scale problems have included: vision under adversarial lighting, end-effector design for laptop manipulation, autonomous BIOS navigation, and reward shaping for cable insertion. We'll match the project to you, not the other way around.
Logistics and compensation
In-person at our Dumbo office. 10–12 weeks, flexible start. You'll work directly with Antonio (CTO) and Rupesh (CEO), alongside the core team.
Modular robotics refurbishes electronics for resale
Revise Robotics focuses on the e-waste recycling sector by using robotics and AI to recover and resell discarded electronics. It builds modular robotic systems that inspect, refurbish, and prepare items like laptops for resale, turning waste into value. The company’s products work by automatically sorting, testing, repairing, and packaging devices within an integrated workflow, enabling efficient refurbishment and resale at scale. What sets Revise Robotics apart is its emphasis on modular, upgradeable systems powered by AI to streamline the entire refurbishment process, helping clients manage electronics waste more sustainably while unlocking residual value that is contained in discarded equipment. The goal is to reduce the environmental impact of e-waste and enable organizations to adopt cost-effective, scalable waste-management solutions by turning discarded electronics into refurbished devices for sale or reuse.
