About CircuitHubCircuitHub is reshaping electronics manufacturing with
The Grid-a factory-scale robotics platform designed to make small-batch, high-mix electronics assembly radically more efficient. Think semiconductor-fab levels of precision applied to the chaotic world of prototyping and low-volume production. The result? A
10x throughput improvement in one of the world's most foundational industries.
We've raised
$20M from top-tier investors including
Y Combinator and
Google Ventures-and we're already
profitable. Our customers include industry leaders like
Tesla, Meta, and
Zipline.
The Grid isn't a prototype-it's live, scaling fast, and already delivering real revenue. We're now building the engineering core that will scale it further.
What We're Looking ForWe're hiring
full-stack robotics engineers to keep The Grid operational and push its limits. This is a
hands-on, high-impact role based
full-time on-site in Western Massachusetts for a minimum of two years. After that, relocation to a future Grid site or a remote transition may be possible.
You'll be embedded directly in the factory, owning both physical and software systems: tuning camera networks, fixing robot reliability issues, deploying new subsystems, and driving bold experiments to increase throughput. This is not a "write tickets, wait for ops" job. You are the ops.
Who This Role Is ForThis role is only suitable for someone who has
built full robotic systems-whether as a
hobbyist, student, employee, or
founder. You'll be expected to integrate software, hardware, and process into functional systems and debug failures under real-world production pressure.
We don't hire narrow specialists. We want engineers who can:
- Diagnose system-wide failures from first principles
- Prototype mechanical and software fixes on the fly
- Work autonomously and communicate clearly to a remote team
- Take full responsibility for uptime and performance in live production
Example Tasks- Configure and debug a distributed GigE vision system
- Analyze end effector behavior from video and revise its geometry
- Prototype and deploy a new test robot for in-line PCB validation
- Travel to London/Cambridge to brief R&D teams and shape roadmap priorities
Why This Role MattersYou'll be the
eyes, hands, and brain of The Grid-directly responsible for keeping one of the most advanced electronics assembly systems in the world operating and evolving. You'll have
board-level visibility and help shape the future of our automation stack from the ground up.
This is a
career-defining opportunity for a high-agency engineer early in their career. If you thrive on ownership and solving real problems with real hardware, there's no better place to be.
What Will Set You Apart- Demonstrated ability to build full robotic systems (projects, startups, labs, competitions)
- Strong skills in mechanical CAD, low-level Python or C++, and basic electronics
- Experience debugging production systems under time and reliability pressure
- Willingness to live and breathe the system for 2+ years on-site
Key Tools & Technologies- Python for control and automation
- Beckhoff TwinCAT for industrial PLC integration
- SolidWorks and/or Fusion 360 for mechanical design
- GigE Vision, industrial sensors, motion control systems
