Founding Robotics Engineer (Hardware)

TRC Talent Solutions

Atlanta, GA

$80K - $120K/yr

Full-time

Re-posted 24 days ago


Job description

TRC Talent Solutions is partnering with a highly disruptive, Atlanta Ventures-backed startup to secure their founding engineering team.

The Client:
This seed-stage company currently operates the largest fleet of autonomous robotic security quadrupeds in the United States. They are moving fast, scaling aggressively, and making a massive pivot: they are bringing their hardware manufacturing entirely in-house. This is a ground-floor opportunity to join a fast-moving, heavily backed robotics startup and build a physical product from the absolute ground up.


Founding Robotics Engineer (Hardware)
Location: South Downtown Atlanta, GA (5 Days Onsite - Atlanta Tech Village Sylvan)


Compensation: $80,000 - $120,000 / yr + 0.15% - 0.25% Equity


The Reality:
Our client is migrating away from off-the-shelf platforms and bringing robotic manufacturing in-house. They do not need a theoretical researcher; they need a hands-on mechanical and hardware builder to design, prototype, and manufacture physical platforms at scale. You will be turning wrenches, living in CAD, and getting your hands dirty to build a US-made robotic fleet.


The Mission:
Lead the hardware development of an in-house 4-wheeled security rover, and eventually, architect a custom, fully integrated quadruped.


Immediate Objectives:


Drive the end-to-end design, build, and testing of a 4-wheeled security rover engineered specifically for unstructured industrial sites.


Transition rapid prototypes into rugged, manufacturable, and easily maintainable hardware deployable at scale.


Design, fabricate, and build custom payloads and automated "dog houses" (charging/deployment stations) for the existing robotic fleet.


Technical Stack & Requirements:


Mechanical: Deep CAD expertise. You must have a proven track record of taking complex projects from raw concept to a working, physical product.


Mechatronics: Heavy experience integrating cameras, motors, and sensors with embedded systems (expert-level wiring, soldering, and assembly).


Bonus Multipliers: PCB design (schematic capture, layout), complex hardware manufacturing experience, and embedded software exposure (Raspberry Pi/Arduino).


The Mindset:
You are not confined to a pristine research lab. You build for real-world, gritty deployments and take ultimate, uncompromising ownership of the physical product from the machine shop to the field.
