Teleoperation Software Engineer

The lines between these roles are blurred. We acknowledge that the best candidates defy pigeonholing. Just like any other rocketship’s, our crew members are expected to be or rapidly become subject matter experts but also wear multiple hats. Even if your skillset resembles a Dirac delta or white noise PSD, as long as you have plentiful neuroplasticity, we’d love to hear from you.

For all the following roles:

• There will be superinflationary annual pay rises as well as milestone (revenue, profit etc) rises. Disenfranchised by today’s culture of job-hopping myopia and instant gratification, we aim to reward the loyalty and persistence demanded of our generational mission.
• As the company grows, these roles will (subject to performance) transition into departmental leads – seniority and compensation can aggregate quickly.
• Work is in person at our Bay Area HQ Mon-Fri (until the Telekinetic experience is so seamless that we can perform our jobs remotely without any reduction in productivity), involving weekend stints from time to time, frequent statewide travel to customers and occasional international trips.
• We are prepared to sponsor visas for fulltimers because exceptional talent knows no borders.
• 2.5/3 of these items are essential: impressive build portfolio, professional distinction, stellar academic record.
• Driving licence, own set of wheels, passport, sense of humour and sunny disposition are highly desirable.
• Candidates who have built things or conducted operations with life or death consequences are especially attractive.

Mechanical Engineer

This role demands a (SolidWorks) CAD jockey, grease monkey and industrial designer with an eye for aesthetics all rolled into one. Familiarity with agricultural/plant machinery is highly desirable. Bonus points if you’re handy with a welder. Responsible for the end effector, vehicular integration, structural integrity, physical assembly and exterior design as well as all in house mechanical design of our humanoid avatars, you should:

• be comfortable reverse engineering intertwined mechanical, electrical and hydraulic systems;
• have a feel for bolt sizing, plate thickness etc, an intuition for real world failure modes and be able to justify them from first principles with formulae and FEA;
• know your way around both a machine shop and Matlab and be savvy wrangling spreadsheets.

If your workshop is bigger than your house and your go-to trash TV back in the day was Junkyard Wars/Scrapheap Challenge, don’t be a stranger.

Chief Operations Officer

Responsible for operations, HR, administration, bookkeeping, scheduling and procurement, you’ll keep the wheels turning smoothly, (a lot of) people in line and entropy at bay.

This role could be a strong fit if you are excited by challenges like:

• Setting up operational processes from scratch.
• Establishing and running operations centers, domestically and abroad - fluency in Spanish and experience conducting business in dissimilar cultures are appreciated.
• Creating and running hiring processes that help us identify, evaluate and close strong candidates.
• Managing the acquisition, sourcing and logistics of physical hardware.
• Setting up workshops, physical spaces or production environments.
• Creating systems that help a fast-moving technical team operate with clarity and speed.
• Taking broad, messy problems and turning them into structured execution plans.
