Founding Robotics Engineer

About Infi Robotics

Infi’s mission is to unlock physical abundance and reindustrialize America by building the Universal Factory: a fully autonomous, general-purpose factory that can turn any design into a finished product.

We are a robotics-native contract manufacturer helping hardware companies scale from prototype to production at our factory in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our initial focus is automated assembly for robots, drones, and other intelligent hardware.

The role

Own the robotic systems that turn assembly tasks into reliable automation. You’ll work across hardware selection, teleoperation, data collection, robot learning, and deployment, taking responsibility for the complete path from a human demonstration to a working robotic cell.

What you’ll do

• Select, integrate, and debug robot arms, grippers, cameras, sensors, and control systems.

• Build teleoperation workflows and tools for collecting, reviewing, and managing demonstration data.

• Own the infrastructure for training, fine-tuning, evaluating, and deploying robot policies.

• Work with the manufacturing engineer and technicians on task setups and fixtures. Improve success rates, cycle time, failure detection, and recovery through experiments on real hardware.

What you’ll bring

Hands-on experience building and debugging physical robots, strong software engineering skills, and the ability to work across hardware and learning systems. Ideally, you’ve worked on robotic manipulation and robot learning, including imitation learning or VLA models, and have taken systems beyond a controlled demonstration.
