Job description

About the Company
The datacenter buildout is the largest industrial project in human history. Gradient builds the autonomous robots that make it possible.
Partnered with the world's largest AI infrastructure companies and backed by the industry's best investors, we move fast and build full-stack systems that matter.
About the role
We are looking for someone to design, build and debug the industrial controls for our robotic solutions. You'll be playing a critical role in our team, so you'll have the opportunity to move fast and make independent design decisions. If high ownership and an emphasis on building things that work sound attractive, apply. Come make our robots move.
Responsibilities
  • Design industrial automation cells from the ground up. Power supply, instrumentation, actuation, safety, compute, and anything else needed
  • Research and make decisions about the best instrumentation and actuation architectures for our problems
  • Understand how to integrate traditional automation electronics with our custom electrical solutions
  • Purchase and help build the solutions you've designed
  • Debug any issues with the cell, whether they come from the problem approach, or other functional issues
  • This is explicitly not a programming heavy role. We are looking for someone focused on the electrical architecture, who can understand what will make it feasible for our programmers and machine learning specialists to control the robot
Minimum Qualifications
  • Have designed an industrial automation cell from zero at least once
  • Bachelor's Degree in Engineering from an ABET accredited institution
  • Understanding of the fundamentals of Electrical Engineering
  • Understanding of programing fundamentals and some programming experience
  • A desire to learn and grow your skills quickly
  • Ability to use AI to multiply your productivity
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience working with vision based systems
  • PCB design experience / solid understanding of mixed signal electrical design
  • Programming experience in Python, Embedded Rust

If you're driven and have the initiative to tackle any sort of problem in your way, we want you here. It's okay if you're qualifications don't completely match ours but you know that you'd kill it in this role. A defining trait here is that we're aggressively trying to learn everything we can about robotics. If you've got the passion and ability to do just that, then you'll succeed here. Apply.
