About the role

About Charge:

Charge Robotics is a Series A startup building robots that build
solar farms.

Demand for new solar projects is booming (1/5th of all the solar that
exists in the US was installed last year!), but today's construction
companies can't keep up due to limited labor resources.

We thought this was insane, so we started working on robots to
directly address this bottleneck and speed up the world's transition
to renewables.

Charge is a fast-moving company which means constant opportunities
for learning and growth. You'll have a large impact on the direction
of our company and our product, which will be reflected in
significant equity compensation. And you get to work with  giant
robots .

If you are excited to work on interesting technical problems with
direct climate impact, you're going to fit right in at Charge
Robotics.

Read more about Charge in recent press:

  * Fast Company - Solar Building Robots to Solve One of Climate's
    Biggest Problems
  * Solar Industry Mag - Charge Completes First Robotics Deployment
    with Nation's Largest Solar EPC (SOLV Energy)
  * YouTube - full video of our Gen1 robots building a solar farm

Charge's funding:

We're MIT-founded and backed by some of Silicon Valley's top
investors, including Lux, YC (S21), Uphonest, Collab, E14, Outset,
and more.

What you'll be working on:

  * Designing, building, testing, and iterating on mechanical systems
    for solar assembly
  * Tracking, investigating, and resolving hardware issues with
    robots
  * Communicating with other engineers to integrate new designs
  * Playing with some very large mechanisms

You:

  * Are experienced with industry-standard CAD software (we use
    Onshape)
  * Know how to fabricate your parts but also know when to send
    drawings out to a shop
  * Enjoy working in a fast-paced startup environment
  * Have excellent written communication skills
  * Are based in or can relocate to the SF bay area
  * Gain satisfaction from personally playing a part in mitigating
    climate change
  * Are excited to see your work deployed onto actual solar farms!

It'd also be nice if you:

  * Have experience working with industrial robot arms, end
    effectors, and automation systems
  * Have a 4-year degree in mechanical engineering or a related field
