Senior/Principal Manufacturing Engineer @ Pickle Robot

Do you want to get in on the ground floor of a fast growing, VC backed, robotic logistics company? Then join Pickle Robot! Founded by an all ages cast of MIT alum, we are teaching off-the-shelf robot arms how to pick up boxes and play Tetris with them. Video

At Pickle, our goal is to work alongside people in the very messy world of the loading dock, reducing the backbreaking human effort that goes into getting your online orders to your door. Robots can now autonomously move themselves around; the next frontier is doing something useful with their hands when they get somewhere. If you are excited by working in Cambridge, MA and spending the day helping solve mechatronic systems problems with an incredible team of engineers then send us a resume! This is primarily an onsite position but you come and go when it works for you and your team. Take a morning or an afternoon for your doctors appointment or sick kid or desire for intense focus away from the office.

Pickle Robot Company is a fun place with a lot of moving parts and projects in action. The work has human scale physicality, lots of problems to solve in the lab, and on-site in-production realities at customer deployments. This particular job is not travel heavy but all engineers are encouraged to visit customer sites.
