Charge Robotics

About Charge Charge Robotics is a Series A startup building robots that build solar farms. Demand for new solar projects is booming (1 ⁄ 5 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 will be compensated accordingly. If you are excited to work on interesting 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 MIT News – Making solar projects cheaper and faster with portable factories YouTube – full video of our Gen1 robots building a solar farm Charge’s funding: We’re MIT-founded and backed by top generalist and climate tech investors, including Energy Impact Partners, Founders Fund, Lux Capital, and Y Combinator (S21). What you’ll be working on: Supporting the mechanical + software engineering teams in assembly, testing, and support of new robotic systems Maintaining and organizing the workshop Developing and maintaining engineering documentation including SOPs As a R&D Engineering Technician at Charge Robotics, you’ll play a major role in building, testing, and deploying our next generation of solar installation robots. You: Have at least 2+ years of relevant experience Have mechanical intuition refined through personal or professional projects Have a positive attitude and like working on a team Will follow safety procedures + reinforce a culture of safety It’d also be nice if you: Have experience working with industrial robot arms, end effectors, and automation systems Equal Opportunity Employer We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company.
