Senior/staff/principal Robotics Engineer

About Us:

Over one third of apparel produced is never sold: Topologic’s mission is to eliminate this disastrous overproduction and waste by producing exactly to demand, close to home. We remain in relative stealth.

To do that, we’re reinventing the stack of apparel fabrication, from CAD/CAM software to novel intelligent machines. We are attacking a massive $2T industry and have secured millions in contracts with leading producers: we proved earlier this summer that our technology works in the lab, and are preparing to go to market at the end of the year. We are backed with $10m from leading VCs and CAD insiders (SolidWorks, Onshape).

Responsibilities:

  • Principal system ownership of sophisticated motion controls for many-DoF mechanisms

  • Maintenance and development of an in-house control system built for high velocity iteration

  • Development of extremely high-reliability and high-speed machines that will enter revenue service in the next year in leading factories in Europe and the US.

  • Designing, implementing, testing and documenting complex, software-defined robotic processes

  • Supporting mechanical, electrical, and process engineers, as well as external customers

  • Collaborating with industry experts to ensure our systems meet customers needs

Requirements

  • Substantial experience as a robotics or control engineer, owning and principally designing complex systems.

  • Substantial experience with low-level programming languages (Rust, C++), microcontrollers, or RTOS.

  • Expertise in designing and building complex systems and applications

  • Experience implementing algorithms and data structures in a low-level language like Rust or C++

  • Excitement for occasional travel, mostly in the EU and US

Desired Skills & Experience (the more, the better, but not expected to have all)

  • Relevant experience as a mechatronics engineer:

    • Exposure to industry standard communication protocols (e.g. CANOpen, Ethercat)

    • Development and ownership of complex embedded systems

    • Experience with motion control for a variety of actuator types (e.g. brushed and brushless DC motors, stepper motors, and/or pneumatics)

    • Experience as a technical lead

    • Academic training in computer science, machine learning, controls, or mathematics

  • Complementary industry experience:

    • Machine vision

    • Web development

    • Graphics programming

    • Electronics prototyping

    • Mechanical design

  • Professional attitude:

    • Collaborative and strong team spirit a must

    • Low ego and willingness to learn through giving and receiving feedback also a must

Benefits of Working with Us:

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits; 100% employee premiums covered

  • 401(k)

  • Meaningful equity

  • 12 company holidays and unlimited PTO (enforced minimum of 15 days and more is encouraged)

  • Company subsidized commute or parking for onsite employees

Onsite work

This is an onsite position at our lab and microfactory in Somerville, MA. You must have authorization to work in the US.

Don’t meet every single requirement?

Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. We’re dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align with every part of the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway.

Equal Opportunity Employer:

We are an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace. We prohibit discrimination and harassment of any kind based on race, color, sex, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, genetic information, pregnancy, or any other protected characteristic as outlined by federal, state, or local laws.
