About the role
Our Mission Our mission is to solve the most important and fundamental challenges in AI and Robotics to enable future generations of intelligent machines that will help us all live better lives. At the Robotics and AI Institute, we blend the visionary thinking often reserved for academic settings with the disciplined teamwork and robust resources typical of top-tier industry teams, turning ambitious ideas into reality. We need people who are comfortable working between academia and industry and excited to build some hardware. You will turn ideas and drawings into prototype parts for robots, working directly with engineers and researchers as designs evolve. This is a hands-on shop role focused on one-off and small-quantity work, where creative machining and practical feedback help research hardware come to life.
