About Standard Bots

Standard Bots is building the next generation of industrial robots -- hardware that's powerful, affordable, and designed to scale. We're the largest U.S. industrial robotics company by robots shipped, and our robots are showing up on factory floors everywhere from independent machine shops to NASA and Lockheed Martin.

Note: This role requires up to 50% domestic travel. That number goes down as we grow the team, but right now you're in the field -- a lot. If that's not for you, this probably isn't the right fit.

Also note: If you're looking for a role where you train models and push code, this isn't it. This is a mechanical + electrical + software trifecta that happens to use AI as a tool. The factory floor is your office.

The Role

The AI Applications Engineer sits at the intersection of robotics, AI, and hands-on field work. You're not a pure software engineer and you're not a pure hardware engineer -- you're the person who can look at a manufacturing challenge, figure out how computer vision or a language model makes the robot smarter, and then actually build and deploy the solution.

You'll work closely with the sales, software and applications engineering teams to scope AI-enabled solutions, build proofs of concept in our shop, and travel to customer sites to install and commission them. You'll own your projects end-to-end -- from initial design through field deployment and customer training.

This is a builder's role. Tinkerers and people who get bored at a desk are strongly encouraged to apply.

What You'll Do

AI Solution Design & POC Development

- Work with customers and the sales team to identify where AI -- computer vision, object detection, visual language models -- creates real leverage in their production process

- Design and build proofs of concept that validate the solution before anyone signs anything

- Develop documentation, sample code, and integration guides that help customers and internal teams replicate and scale what you've built

Field Deployment & Integration

- Travel to customer sites to install, configure, and commission AI-enabled robotic cells

- Own the full integration: camera placement and calibration, model deployment, I/O configuration, testing, and sign-off

- Troubleshoot on-site when things don't go as planned -- you stay until it works

Customer Training & Support

- Train customer operators and engineers on the AI capabilities of their Standard Bots deployment

- Be a trusted technical resource post-install as customers push the system into new applications

- Feed real-world deployment learnings back to our engineering and product teams

Internal Collaboration

- Work with the broader applications and engineering teams on new feature testing, peripheral integrations, and platform expansion

- Help build the internal knowledge base on AI-enabled applications -- what works, what doesn't, and why

What We're Looking For

Core Skills (Must have all or most)

- Robot programming proficiency or adjacent software experience -- if you can write Python without an AI agent, you can probably program a robot having never touched one before

- Prior robotics knowledge -- anything from high school robotics to professional manipulation experience; we care that you've actually worked with robots, not just read about them

- Surface-level fluency in ML models and techniques -- you can have a real conversation about convolutional neural networks, object detection, and visual language models without Googling the definitions mid-sentence

- Technical proficiency in an engineering environment -- you write documentation, manage your own projects, work well with a team, and don't need someone watching over your shoulder

- Willingness to travel -- up to 50% domestically right now; that number will come down as we grow

Specializations (Must have at least one)

- Mechanical Design -- pneumatics, camera mounts, end-of-arm tooling for manipulators; bonus points if you've designed a gripper

- Electrical Design -- custom board fabrication, general electrical knowledge for wiring relays and solenoids in automation environments

- Machine Vision -- you know which cameras and lenses to use for a given application and why; you've actually deployed a vision system, not just selected one on paper

Nice to Have

- Experience with collaborative robots (UR, Fanuc, KUKA, ABB, or similar)

- Hands-on work with vision systems in a production or lab environment (Cognex, Basler, FLIR, or similar)

- Familiarity with ROS or other robotics middleware

- Background in a manufacturing or industrial automation environment

- Experience at a startup -- you know what it means to build something from scratch with limited resources

Compensation and Benefits

The salary range for this role is $120,000 to $150,000, depending on experience. We are open to a variety of seniority levels for this role and will build compensation packages that are commensurate with seniority and skill level. Base salary is just one part of the overall compensation at Standard Bots. All Full-Time Employees are eligible for Employee Stock Options. We also offer a package of benefits including paid time off, medical/dental/vision insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, and 401(k) to regular full-time employees.

We are looking for an exceptional Staff Software Engineer to own the most visible surfaces in the company: the AI agent that programs industrial robots through plain conversation, and the vertical applications built around it. This role tackles one of the most ambiguous, high-leverage challenges in applied AI: turning a successful LLM-powered demo into a product customers rely on. Our verticals are the real jobs customers hire robots to do, like palletizing, welding, and machine tending. Each vertical is a product surface, with purpose-built features and user experiences, designed from the start for the agent to drive.

Your impact will be measured not just by the code you write, but by your ability to make the agent's quality measurable, harden it to release, turn our verticals into products customers love, and raise the technical bar of a small, founding-stage team working directly with our founder, product leadership, and first customers.

What You'll Do

πŸ—οΈ Strategic Architecture & Long-Term Vision

🏎️ Complex Project Leadership & Execution

πŸ› οΈ Production Excellence & Organizational Leverage

Who You Are

We are looking for a product-minded, LLM-native engineer who has shipped AI to real users and gets excited about both the agent and the real-world automation tasks it will drive, like palletizing and welding. You want to understand how the work actually gets done on a factory floor, and you build for the people doing it. This is not a model-training research role, and no robotics background is required. Agentic coding tools should already be part of your default workflow.

Experience serving operational, domain-heavy users (manufacturing, logistics, field operations) is a strong plus.\n\n - Design Sensibility: Strong opinions about user experience, held loosely: you prototype interactions before hardening them, sweat the details users actually feel, and partner naturally with design.\n\n - Excelling in Ambitious Environments: Your best work happened where the bar was public, leadership was close to the product, and the plan changed weekly.\n\n - Tech Stack Expertise: Fluency in TypeScript/Node.js is preferred, with range across our core stack (React, Python, C++, Kubernetes).\n \n \n\n\nπŸ“ LOCATION AND BENEFITS\n\nThis role is hybrid with 3 days/week onsite in our NYC office, centrally located near Grand Central Station.\n\n\n\n\nOFFICE & WORKPLACE PERKS\n\n - Direct Access to Robotics: Work alongside our physical products with dedicated demo and testing cells, allowing you to validate your work on real robots daily.\n\n - Collaborative & Modern Space: Enjoy open collaborative spaces for team problem-solving and focus zones for deep work.\n\n - Customizable Workstations: We provide ergonomic and customizable setups to ensure a comfortable and productive work environment.\n\n - Amenities: Daily catered lunch, fully stocked kitchens with snacks and beverages, and regular team events.\n \n \n\n\nCOMPENSATION \n\nThe base salary range for this role is $215,000 to $250,000, depending on experience.

About Standard Bots

Industrial robots have long been out of reach for most manufacturers β€” too expensive, too complex, and built for companies with dedicated automation teams. Standard Bots is changing that. We build powerful, affordable robots that work in real factories, from small shops to growing production lines. We’re scaling fast, and the engineering discipline we build now will define the quality and cost of every robot we ship.

This role sits at the heart of that mission. You’ll have direct influence over how our robots are built, at what quality, and at what cost. It’s not a support function β€” it’s a core driver of the business.

Our factory is in Glen Cove, NY, 35 minutes from Manhattan. You’ll be on-site 5 days a week, with your decisions visible on the floor the next morning.

The Role

We’re hiring a Manufacturing & Process Engineering Manager to take full ownership of how we build our robots β€” from initial process design through continuous improvement on the production floor. You’ll take charge of a small, early-stage team and build the function from scratch: defining engineering standards, tightening the loop between product design and production, and deploying automation where it creates the most leverage.

This is a player-coach role. You’ll stay hands-on β€” writing process documentation, running DFM reviews, designing fixtures β€” while simultaneously growing your team and shaping the future of manufacturing engineering at Standard Bots. As production scales, so will your scope and leadership impact.

You’ll report directly to the Head of Manufacturing and own both manufacturing engineering and process engineering as a unified function.

About Standard Bots

Standard Bots is building the next generation of industrial robots -- hardware that's powerful, affordable, and designed to scale. We're moving fast from prototype to high-volume production, and we need the program management infrastructure to match. This role is central to that.

Note: This is a full-time, on-site role at our Glen Cove, NY manufacturing facility and HQ.

We are unable to offer Visa sponsorship at this time.

The Role

We're looking for a Manufacturing Program Manager to own the orchestration of multiple high-impact, cross-functional programs running in parallel -- facility expansion, new production line setup, vertical integration of key components, and a company-wide ERP transition. You'll be the person who turns ambiguous, multi-quarter initiatives into clear plans, accountable owners, and on-time delivery.

This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who thrives in a hands-on manufacturing environment, can hold a portfolio of moving parts in their head, and is equally comfortable in a leadership review, on the production floor, and inside a Gantt chart.

You'll report directly to the Head of Manufacturing and partner closely with engineering, supply chain, IT, finance, facilities, and external vendors.

What You'll Do

Program Portfolio & Master Planning

- Own a portfolio of concurrent manufacturing programs end-to-end -- facility expansion, new line bring-up, vertical integration, and ERP implementation

- Define program scope, milestones, dependencies, budgets, and risks -- maintaining integrated schedules and surfacing trade-offs early to leadership

- Run the operating cadence: weekly program reviews, monthly steering committees, and executive readouts that translate program status into clear narratives

Cross-Functional Execution

- Coordinate across manufacturing engineering, supply chain, quality, facilities, IT, and finance -- hold owners accountable and remove blockers fast

-Manage risk and change: maintain an active risk register, drive change control on scope, schedule, and budget, and escalate decisively with options and recommendations, not just problems

Capital Projects & Facility Build-Outs

- Lead facility build-outs and line installations end-to-end: vendor selection, capex tracking, equipment procurement, install/qualify/validate, and ramp to production

ERP Transition

- Partner with IT and functional leads on requirements, data migration, change management, training, cutover, and hypercare for an enterprise ERP rollout

Vertical Integration

- Plan and execute the in-housing of components and sub-assemblies -- make-vs-buy analysis, tooling, process design, supplier transitions, and PPAP

Program Excellence

- Codify playbooks, templates, and tooling so each subsequent program runs faster and more predictably than the last

What We're Looking For

- 5-10+ years of program or project management experience in a manufacturing, hardware, or industrial environment

- Demonstrated track record leading multi-million-dollar capital programs end-to-end -- facility expansion, new production line installation, factory relocation, or equivalent

- Direct experience with at least one of: ERP implementation or migration (NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, Dynamics, Plex, etc.), vertical integration / in-housing initiatives, or new-product industrialization

- Working fluency in manufacturing fundamentals: BOMs, routings, MRP, capacity planning, line balancing, takt time, quality systems, and operational KPIs

- Strong command of program management craft: integrated scheduling, dependency mapping, risk management, capex tracking, and stage-gate governance

- Excellent written and verbal communication -- you can write a one-page status update an executive will actually read, and run a room with engineers, vendors, and finance in it

- Bias for action -- comfortable on the production floor, in vendor negotiations, and in front of executives in the same day

- Bachelor's degree in engineering, operations, supply chain, or a related field; equivalent hands-on experience considered

Nice to Have

- Experience scaling a contract manufacturing partner or standing up an in-house manufacturing line for a hardware or robotics product

- Lean / Six Sigma, PMP, or equivalent credentials -- with the judgment to know when to apply them and when not to

- Familiarity with PLM, MES, and modern ERP / planning tooling

- Prior experience at a high-growth, venture-backed hardware company

Compensation and Benefits

The salary range for this role is $100,000 to $130,000. We are open to a variety of seniority levels for this role and will build compensation packages that are commensurate with seniority and skill level. Base salary is just one part of the overall compensation at Standard Bots. All Full-Time Employees are eligible for Employee Stock Options. We also offer a package of benefits including paid time off, medical/dental/vision insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, and 401(k) to regular full-time employees.

The Role

We're looking for an Implementation Sales Manager to sit at the intersection of sales and technical execution. When our sales team uncovers an opportunity requiring a turn-key integration solution, you step in -- helping define the scope, build the business case, and co-own the close. Once the deal is won, you stay on as the customer's primary point of contact through project completion, managing requirements, timelines, and expectations all the way through Site Acceptance Testing.

You understand both the customer's pain -- production bottlenecks, labor gaps, quality challenges -- and the technical realities of deploying a reliable robotic cell. You're equally comfortable walking a factory floor with an automation engineer and presenting an ROI model to a CFO.

What You'll Do

Integration Opportunity Support

- Partner with regional sales managers to identify and qualify integration-heavy opportunities early in the sales cycle

- Lead technical discovery conversations with customers to understand process requirements, constraints, and success criteria

- Develop scope-of-work documentation, integration proposals, and budgetary estimates in collaboration with the implementation team

Solution Scoping & Proposal Development

- Work with the implementation team to define technically sound, profitable integration solutions

- Build and present compelling turn-key proposals that clearly articulate scope, timeline, and pricing

- Participate in customer site visits and process reviews to validate scope assumptions before deal close

Customer Project Management

- Serve as the primary customer liaison from contract award through Site Acceptance Testing

- Manage and communicate project timelines, milestones, and change orders to both the customer and the internal implementation team

- Coordinate closely with senior automation engineers to ensure tight communication between the engineering team and the customer

- Proactively identify scope creep, timeline risks, and customer satisfaction issues -- then drive resolution

Sales-to-Implementation Handoff

- Ensure clean, well-documented handoffs from the sales process to the implementation team

- Maintain a clear record of customer commitments, scope boundaries, and acceptance criteria throughout the project lifecycle

- Provide voice-of-customer feedback to product and engineering teams to influence roadmap and offering development

What We're Looking For

- 4-8 years in a technical sales, sales engineering, or project management role within industrial automation, robotics, or capital equipment

- Demonstrated experience scoping and selling complex integration or capital projects to manufacturing customers

- Familiarity with robotic cell architecture, peripheral equipment (conveyors, grippers, vision, safety), and typical manufacturing integration challenges

- Track record of managing B2B customer relationships through long, technical project cycles

- Ability to read and interpret drawings, I/O maps, and integration specifications at a level sufficient to scope work and validate commitments

- Working knowledge of robotic systems, PLC integration, and common industrial protocols

- Proficient in CRM tools (Salesforce or equivalent) and project management platforms

- Comfortable building and presenting ROI models, investment justifications, and project plans to operations and executive stakeholders

- Strong commercial instincts -- you understand margin, risk, and what makes a deal good for Standard Bots

- Organized and disciplined -- you track every open item, every commitment, every milestone

Nice to Have

- Experience with robotics platforms such as Universal Robots, Fanuc, KUKA, or ABB

- Background in machine tending, palletizing, welding, or assembly automation applications

- Familiarity with OEE metrics, cycle time analysis, and lean manufacturing principles (5S, Kaizen, SMED)

- Experience estimating integration labor and BOM costs for turn-key solutions

- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Industrial Technology, Business, or equivalent practical experience

Compensation and Benefits

The base salary range for this role is $110,000 to $150,000, plus a performance-based sales bonus. We are open to a variety of seniority levels for this role and will build compensation packages that are commensurate with seniority and skill level. Base salary is just one part of the overall compensation at Standard Bots. All Full-Time Employees are eligible for Employee Stock Options.

About Standard Bots

Standard Bots is building the next generation of industrial robots -- hardware that's powerful, affordable, and designed to scale. We're the largest U.S. industrial robotics company by robots shipped, and our robots are showing up on factory floors everywhere from independent machine shops to NASA and Lockheed Martin. Someone has to make sure those robots actually work -- and someone has to build the team that makes that happen at scale. That's this role.

Note: This role requires up to 25% domestic travel. You're still in the field -- just not living out of a suitcase 2-3 days a week.

Also note: Like every Applications Engineer at Standard Bots, this is not a software engineering role. You are a hands-on industrial automation engineer who also happens to lead people. If you've never commissioned a robotic cell, this isn't the right seat.

The Role

The Applications Engineering Manager is a player-coach. You still know your way around a factory floor -- fixtures, I/O, ladder logic, robot programming, all the things -- and you use that expertise every day, both to stay sharp and to earn the respect of the team you're leading.

You'll manage a team of Applications Engineers across your territory, owning their development, their workload, and the quality of every customer engagement they touch. You'll be the escalation point when installs get complicated, the person who jumps on a plane when a customer situation needs senior eyes, and the one who sets the standard for what great applications engineering looks like at Standard Bots.

This is still a hands-on role. You're not managing from a desk. You're leading from the front.

You'll report directly to the VP of Applications Engineering.

What You'll Do

Team Leadership & Development

- Manage and develop a team of Applications Engineers across your territory -- setting expectations, coaching on technical and customer-facing skills, and building a team that executes at a high level

- Own capacity planning and workload distribution across your team -- making sure the right engineer is on the right job and nobody is drowning

- Be the technical and cultural standard-setter for your team; the bar you hold yourself to is the bar your team rises to

- Conduct regular 1:1s, performance conversations, and development planning -- you invest in your people's growth, not just their output

Territory & Customer Ownership

- Own the applications engineering function for your territory -- from pre-sales POC support through post-install customer success

- Serve as the senior technical escalation point for complex integrations, difficult customer situations, or installs that aren't going as planned

- Partner closely with your Regional Sales Manager on territory priorities, pipeline, and customer strategy -- you're the technical counterpart to their commercial leadership

- Maintain strong relationships with key customer accounts in your territory; they should know you by name and trust your judgment

Hands-On Technical Work

- Stay sharp and stay in it -- you're still designing solutions, reviewing integrations, commissioning cells, and supporting installs when the situation calls for it

- Lead or co-lead technically complex or strategically important customer engagements yourself

- Review and sign off on solution designs, POCs, and integration plans produced by your team

- Travel to customer sites as needed -- up to 25% domestically -- for escalations, key installs, and customer relationship moments

Standards & Continuous Improvement

- Define and enforce the standard for how applications engineering work gets done in your territory -- documentation, handoffs, commissioning checklists, customer training quality

- Feed territory-level learnings back to the broader applications engineering organization and to product and engineering teams

- Help build the playbooks, templates, and training materials that make every AE on your team better and every deployment more repeatable

What We're Looking For

- The same trifecta as our Applications Engineers -- you're genuinely fluent across mechanical, electrical, and software: PLC programming and ladder logic, pneumatics, DC power systems, robot programming, Python scripting, CAD

- 5+ years of hands-on applications engineering, systems integration, or automation engineering experience -- you've done the field work and done it well

- 2+ years of people management or team lead experience -- you've led engineers, given hard feedback, and helped someone grow

- Strong customer-facing presence -- you can manage a difficult customer conversation, set expectations clearly, and represent Standard Bots credibly at a senior level

- Experience managing a distributed team or territory; you know how to lead people you don't see every day

- Comfort with up to 25% domestic travel for escalations, key customer engagements, and team support

- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, or a related engineering discipline -- or equivalent hands-on experience that tells the same story

Nice to Have

- Prior experience with collaborative robots (UR, Fanuc, KUKA, ABB, or similar)

- Background scaling an applications engineering or field engineering function -- you've helped build something, not just inherited it

- Experience with vision systems, force/torque sensing, or custom end-of-arm tooling

","descriptionPlain":"About Standard Bots\n\nStandard Bots is building the next generation of industrial robots -- hardware that's powerful, affordable, and designed to scale. We're the largest U.S. industrial robotics company by robots shipped, and our robots are showing up on factory floors everywhere from independent machine shops to NASA and Lockheed Martin. Someone has to make sure those robots actually work -- and someone has to build the team that makes that happen at scale. That's this role.\n\n\n\nNote: This role requires up to 25% domestic travel. You're still in the field -- just not living out of a suitcase 2-3 days a week.\n\n\n\nAlso note: Like every Applications Engineer at Standard Bots, this is not a software engineering role. You are a hands-on industrial automation engineer who also happens to lead people. If you've never commissioned a robotic cell, this isn't the right seat.\n\n\n\nThe Role\n\nThe Applications Engineering Manager is a player-coach. You still know your way around a factory floor -- fixtures, I/O, ladder logic, robot programming, all the things -- and you use that expertise every day, both to stay sharp and to earn the respect of the team you're leading.\n\n\n\nYou'll manage a team of Applications Engineers across your territory, owning their development, their workload, and the quality of every customer engagement they touch. You'll be the escalation point when installs get complicated, the person who jumps on a plane when a customer situation needs senior eyes, and the one who sets the standard for what great applications engineering looks like at Standard Bots.\n\n\n\nThis is still a hands-on role. You're not managing from a desk. You're leading from the front.\n\n\n\nYou'll report directly to the VP of Applications Engineering.\n\n\n\nWhat You'll Do\n\n\n\nTeam Leadership & Development\n\n- Manage and develop a team of Applications Engineers across your territory -- setting expectations, coaching on technical and customer-facing skills, and building a team that executes at a high level\n\n- Own capacity planning and workload distribution across your team -- making sure the right engineer is on the right job and nobody is drowning\n\n- Be the technical and cultural standard-setter for your team; the bar you hold yourself to is the bar your team rises to\n\n- Conduct regular 1:1s, performance conversations, and development planning -- you invest in your people's growth, not just their output\n\n\n\nTerritory & Customer Ownership\n\n- Own the applications engineering function for your territory -- from pre-sales POC support through post-install customer success\n\n- Serve as the senior technical escalation point for complex integrations, difficult customer situations, or installs that aren't going as planned\n\n- Partner closely with your Regional Sales Manager on territory priorities, pipeline, and customer strategy -- you're the technical counterpart to their commercial leadership\n\n- Maintain strong relationships with key customer accounts in your territory; they should know you by name and trust your judgment\n\n\n\nHands-On Technical Work\n\n- Stay sharp and stay in it -- you're still designing solutions, reviewing integrations, commissioning cells, and supporting installs when the situation calls for it\n\n- Lead or co-lead technically complex or strategically important customer engagements yourself\n\n- Review and sign off on solution designs, POCs, and integration plans produced by your team\n\n- Travel to customer sites as needed -- up to 25% domestically -- for escalations, key installs, and customer relationship moments\n\n\n\nStandards & Continuous Improvement\n\n- Define and enforce the standard for how applications engineering work gets done in your territory -- documentation, handoffs, commissioning checklists, customer training quality\n\n- Feed territory-level learnings back to the broader applications engineering organization and to product and engineering teams\n\n- Help build the playbooks, templates, and training materials that make every AE on your team better and every deployment more repeatable\n\n\n\nWhat We're Looking For\n\n- The same trifecta as our Applications Engineers -- you're genuinely fluent across mechanical, electrical, and software: PLC programming and ladder logic, pneumatics, DC power systems, robot programming, Python scripting, CAD\n\n- 5+ years of hands-on applications engineering, systems integration, or automation engineering experience -- you've done the field work and done it well\n\n- 2+ years of people management or team lead experience -- you've led engineers, given hard feedback, and helped someone grow\n\n- Strong customer-facing presence -- you can manage a difficult customer conversation, set expectations clearly, and represent Standard Bots credibly at a senior level\n\n- Experience managing a distributed team or territory; you know how to lead people you don't see every day\n\n- Comfort with up to 25% domestic travel for escalations, key customer engagements, and team support\n\n- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, or a related engineering discipline -- or equivalent hands-on experience that tells the same story\n\n\n\nNice to Have\n\n- Prior experience with collaborative robots (UR, Fanuc, KUKA, ABB, or similar)\n\n- Background scaling an applications engineering or field engineering function -- you've helped build something, not just inherited it\n\n- Experience with vision systems, force/torque sensing, or custom end-of-arm tooling\n\n- Familiarity with machine tending, palletizing, welding, or assembly automation applications\n\n\n\nCompensation and Benefits\n\nThe salary range for this role is $140,000 to $180,000, depending on experience.

About Standard Bots

Standard Bots is building the world’s most accessible robotics platform to bring advanced automation into manufacturing and beyond, with intuitive hardware and software that empower human productivity.

Overview

Industrial software has been ugly and hard to use for decades. We're trying to change thatβ€”bringing consumer-grade clarity and craft to a world that hasn't seen much of either.Most software products live on screens. Ours move metal. Your product decisions here have physical consequences. Software that's confusing doesn't just frustrate usersβ€”it stops production lines, or worse. Software that's good doesn't just get clicksβ€”it makes a robot do something useful in the real world that it couldn't do before.

We're looking for a PM who is a builder first. Someone who wants to own the impact of a product area end-to-end. Someone who gets genuinely curious about how things workβ€”software, hardware, customers, industries. Someone with product sense and taste who can tell the difference between \"ships\" and \"good.”

","descriptionPlain":"ABOUT STANDARD BOTS\n\nStandard Bots is building the world’s most accessible robotics platform to bring advanced automation into manufacturing and beyond, with intuitive hardware and software that empower human productivity.\n\n\n\n\nOVERVIEW\n\nIndustrial software has been ugly and hard to use for decades. We're trying to change thatβ€”bringing consumer-grade clarity and craft to a world that hasn't seen much of either.Most software products live on screens. Ours move metal. Your product decisions here have physical consequences. Software that's confusing doesn't just frustrate usersβ€”it stops production lines, or worse.

About Standard Bots

Standard Bots is building the next generation of industrial robots -- hardware that's powerful, affordable, and designed to scale. We're moving fast from prototype to high-volume production, and as our supply chain grows more complex -- more suppliers, more components, more international movement -- we need someone who knows how to navigate the regulatory and logistics landscape without slowing us down. This role is central to that.

Note: This role is onsite at our Glen Cove, NY manufacturing facility

The Role

We're looking for a Logistics & Trade Compliance Specialist to own the import/export function at Standard Bots. That means HTS classification, tariff management, customs filings, freight coordination, and making sure every component we bring in and every product we ship out moves fast, stays compliant, and doesn't cost us more than it should.

This is a detail-oriented role that sits at the intersection of logistics operations and regulatory compliance. You know your way around a tariff schedule, you've dealt with customs brokers and freight forwarders before, and you don't wait for someone else to flag a compliance issue -- you catch it first.

You'll report directly to the Supply Chain Manager.

What You'll Do

Import & Export Operations

- Manage day-to-day import and export activity -- coordinating with freight forwarders, customs brokers, and carriers to ensure on-time, compliant movement of goods

- Prepare and review shipping documentation: commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, certificates of origin, and export control documentation

- Oversee customs entries and clearance processes; resolve holds, delays, or discrepancies with brokers and CBP as needed

- Track inbound shipments and proactively flag delays or disruptions to supply chain and operations teams

Tariff & HTS Classification

- Own HTS code classification for all imported components and finished goods -- maintaining an accurate, up-to-date classification database

- Monitor tariff changes, Section 301 actions, and trade policy developments that affect Standard Bots' supply chain and flag cost or compliance implications to leadership

- Identify and pursue duty mitigation strategies: first sale valuation, tariff engineering, exclusion requests, FTZ utilization, and bonded warehouse programs where applicable

- Support tariff impact analysis for new product introductions and sourcing decisions

Trade Compliance

- Ensure compliance with all applicable import and export regulations: CBP, BIS, OFAC, ITAR/EAR where relevant

- Maintain and improve Standard Bots' trade compliance program -- classification records, denied party screening, export licenses, and audit-ready documentation

- Partner with legal and finance on trade compliance risk assessment and policy development

- Support customs audits and respond to inquiries from regulatory agencies

Freight & Logistics Optimization

- Manage relationships with freight forwarders, customs brokers, and carriers -- evaluating performance and cost on an ongoing basis

- Analyze freight spend and identify opportunities to reduce cost without sacrificing reliability or compliance

- Support inbound logistics planning in coordination with the supply chain and operations teams

What We're Looking For

- 3-5 years of experience in import/export logistics, trade compliance, or a similar role -- with hands-on experience managing customs entries and HTS classification

- Working knowledge of U.S. customs regulations, tariff schedules, and trade compliance frameworks (CBP, BIS, OFAC, EAR)

- Experience with HTS classification for manufactured goods -- mechanical, electrical, or electromechanical components preferred

- Familiarity with Section 301 tariffs, duty mitigation strategies, and tariff exclusion processes

- Experience working with customs brokers, freight forwarders, and third-party logistics providers

- Detail-oriented and organized -- you maintain clean records, catch errors before they become problems, and document everything

- Comfortable working cross-functionally with supply chain, finance, engineering, and legal

Nice to Have

- Experience with ITAR or EAR export control compliance for hardware or technology products

- Background in a manufacturing, robotics, or industrial hardware environment

- Familiarity with free trade zone (FTZ) operations, bonded warehouses, or first sale valuation programs

- Experience with trade compliance software or customs management systems

- Customs Broker License (CBL) or Certified Customs Specialist (CCS) designation

Compensation and Benefits

The salary range for this role is $80,000 to $110,000. We are open to a variety of seniority levels for this role and will build compensation packages that are commensurate with seniority and skill level. Base salary is just one part of the overall compensation at Standard Bots. All Full-Time Employees are eligible for Employee Stock Options.

About Standard Bots

Standard Bots is building the next generation of industrial robots β€” hardware that's powerful, affordable, and designed to scale. We're the largest U.S. industrial robotics company by robots shipped, and we're growing fast. This role keeps one of our most important production operations running on time and on target.

Note: This is a full-time, on-site role at our Glen Cove, NY manufacturing facility.

The Role

We're looking for a Data Collection Operations Manager to run our on-site data collection floor. The team you'll manage is responsible for collecting the hands-on demonstration data that fuels the building and training of Standard Bots' AI models β€” the same models that will shape how automation works on factory floors for years to come. Right now that means managing a team of collectors doing structured, repetitive hands-on work in a controlled environment. As the team scales, you'll eventually build the supervisory layer underneath you and shift more into a pure management role.

Think of it like running a production line: the work is defined, the targets are clear, and your job is to keep the team moving, the quality high, and the numbers on track.

This is a player-coach role to start. You're not just directing β€” you're on the floor, working alongside the team, learning the work, and setting the standard. You'll also coordinate with internal teams to make sure your crew always has what they need, and own the metrics that tell us whether we're on pace to hit our aggressive end-of-year target.

You'll report directly to the Head of AI Solutions & Strategy.

What You'll Do

Floor Operations & Team Management

- Run day-to-day operations for our data collection floor

- Be hands-on with the work yourself, especially early on β€” you set the standard by doing it, not just directing it

- Track weekly output against the pace needed to hit our end-of-year target β€” flag shortfalls early and fix them fast

- Keep the team engaged and productive through structured, repetitive work β€” you know how to make that environment run well

- Manage consumables, supplies, parts, and inventory for the floor β€” ordering, receiving, storage, and distribution

- Manage task rollout and retirement β€” bring new collection tasks onto the floor and wind down completed ones in line with research priorities

Quality & Output

- Own the quality standard for the floor β€” build and continuously improve QA processes (acceptance criteria, spot checks, feedback loops) so collected data meets the needs of the research team

- Build and maintain the trackers, documentation, and reporting cadence for output, quality, and team performance

- Own the data from collection to hand-off β€” track what's been collected, ensure nothing is lost or mislabeled, and investigate quality issues the research team flags

- Identify where output is being lost in the process and drive improvements

Cross-Team Coordination

- Keep the floor unblocked β€” coordinate with internal teams to make sure task assignments, equipment, and tooling are ready before the floor needs them

- Flag upstream delays or blockers early so they don't turn into floor downtime

- Maintain a backlog of approved work so the team is never sitting idle

Team Building (As You Scale)

- As the team grows, hire and onboard new collectors and eventually build the supervisory layer beneath you

- Define how the floor operates β€” schedules, standards, workflows β€” so the system scales without breaking

- Coach and develop collectors β€” give regular feedback and grow your strongest people into leads

- Build a floor culture of ownership, reliability, and continuous improvement

What We're Looking For

- 2-4 years of experience managing or supervising hourly workers in a warehouse, factory, production floor, or similar structured environment

- Comfortable being a player-coach β€” you're not too senior to do the work, and not too junior to lead the team

- Track record of hitting output targets and holding a small team accountable to daily and weekly metrics

- Experience managing repetitive, high-volume work β€” you know how to keep people engaged and productive through structured, routine tasks

- Organized and proactive β€” you don't wait for problems to find you

- Clear communicator, written and verbal β€” you can run a daily standup, give direct feedback, keep documentation current, and escalate issues cleanly

- Experience building or improving processes β€” you can create structure where it doesn't exist yet, not just run an existing playbook

- Comfortable with spreadsheets, trackers, and metrics reporting

Nice to Have

- Experience scaling a small team quickly β€” hiring, onboarding, and ramping up production capacity

- Familiarity with data collection, annotation, or quality control operations

- Any exposure to robotics, manufacturing automation, or tech environments

- Startup or fast-scaling environment experience

Compensation and Benefits

The salary range for this role is $80,000 to $90,000. We are open to a variety of seniority levels for this role and will build compensation packages that are commensurate with seniority and skill level. Base salary is just one part of the overall compensation at Standard Bots. All Full-Time Employees are eligible for Employee Stock Options. We also offer a package of benefits including paid time off, medical/dental/vision insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, and 401(k) to regular full-time employees.

About Standard Bots

Standard Bots builds next-generation robotics for manufacturing affordable, capable, American-made automation. Our hardware is a tightly integrated electromechanical system, and we build it in-house at our Glen Cove, NY facility. The electronics inside our robots, the PCBAs that drive motion, sensing, and control are core IP, and how well they're designed for manufacturing directly determines our yield, our cost, and how fast we can scale.

Role

We're looking for an Electronics Manufacturing Engineer who lives at the intersection of design and production. You'll be the person who makes sure the boards our electrical engineers design can actually be built, reliably, at yield, at cost; whether they run on our in-house SMT line or get handed to a contract manufacturer.

This is a blend of two jobs. On the DFM side, you're the manufacturing conscience in the room during PCB design: reviewing layouts and packages before they're released, catching issues and errors early, and holding the line on the standards that keep boards manufacturable. On the process side, you own the SMT/PCBA process itself β€” bring-up, process control, yield, and the day-to-day of getting good boards out the door. You're as comfortable marking up a fabrication package as you are standing at the reflow oven diagnosing a solder defect.

The right person is opinionated and constructive. When an EE hands you a design that's going to cause tombstoning, unroutable rework, or a package no CM will accept, you say so early, clearly, and with the fix and you make the standard stick so the same issue doesn't come back.

What you'll own

β€’ DFM review of PCB designs. Review PCBA layouts, footprints, stack-ups, and fabrication/assembly packages before release β€” including stack-up and controlled-impedance manufacturability. Give clear, specific DFM/DFA and design-for-test (DFT) feedback to electrical engineers; call out issues, errors, and rule violations, and drive them to resolution before the design goes to build.

β€’ DFM automation and checking. Run systematic, rule-based DFM/DFA checks with automated tooling (Valor, CAM350, Allegro DFM, or equivalent) so reviews are consistent and repeatable rather than eyeballed and keep the rule decks current as parts, processes, and vendors change.

β€’ Design for test (DFT). Partner with electrical engineering to build test coverage and access into designs from the start; test points, probe access, and ICT/flying-probe/boundary-scan considerations so boards are testable, not just able to be assembled.

β€’ Manufacturing best practices. Own and uphold the DFM rule set; component spacing, courtyards and keep-outs, panelization, fiducials, thermal relief, testability, and land-pattern standards (IPC-7351 / IPC-2221 / IPC-A-610 class). Keep the standards documented and current, and make sure designs actually conform.

β€’ Package quality and CM readiness. Ensure every output package; Gerbers, fab and assembly drawings, BOM, pick-and-place, and stack-up is complete, unambiguous, and manufacturable by whoever builds it, internal line or external CM. You are the gate a package clears before it's released.

β€’ SMT line and process. Own SMT/PCBA process engineering for the in-house line; stencil and paste, placement, reflow profiling, SPI and AOI, and rework. Drive process control, first-pass yield, and defect reduction; own changeovers and new-board bring-up.

β€’ Board bring-up and test. Bring up, verify, and debug boards on the bench; fluent with oscilloscopes, multimeters, and lab instruments. Run the tests the hardware team specifies, and define test procedures on your own; help stand up automated/functional test (ATE) as we scale production.

β€’ NPI and design-to-production handoff. Partner with electrical engineering through NPI; from first prototype builds to repeatable volume, closing the loop fast between design intent and what's actually buildable on the floor.

β€’ Engineering–production liaison. Be the connective tissue between electrical engineering and the production floor, translating design intent into build- and test-ready instructions and feeding real yield, defect, and test data back to design, keeping the loop between design and the floor tight and open.

β€’ CM partnership. Serve as the manufacturing-engineering interface to external contract manufacturers: qualify processes, resolve DFM findings, review first articles, and hold CMs to our quality bar.

β€’ Continuous improvement. Root-cause solder and assembly defects (8D/5-Whys), cut scrap and rework, and feed lessons learned back into the DFM standards so the next design starts in a better place.

Basic Qualifications:

β€’ Associate's or Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering Technology (EET), Electrical or Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field or equivalent hands-on experience.

β€’ 4+ years in electronics/PCBA manufacturing engineering, with hands-on ownership of an SMT line and its process (paste, placement, reflow, AOI, rework).

β€’ Demonstrated DFM/DFA expertise, reviewed real PCB designs, given feedback to EEs, and can point to boards that shipped better because problems were caught before release.

β€’ Fluency with IPC standards (IPC-A-610, IPC-7351, IPC-2221, J-STD-001) and the vocabulary to hold a design review to them.

β€’ Ability to read and interpret schematics, PCB layouts, fabrication and assembly drawings, BOMs, stack-ups and to spot what's wrong or missing in a release package.

β€’ Hands-on command of the SMT process: reflow profiling, stencil/paste, placement, SPI/AOI, and rework; comfortable diagnosing tombstoning, bridging, voiding, head-in-pillow and similar defects.

β€’ Hands-on with DFM-check tooling (Valor, CAM350, Allegro DFM, or equivalent) and ability to run rule-based checks against layout and fab/assembly data, not just visual reviews.

β€’ Design-for-test (DFT) fluency; design in test coverage and access and review boards for testability (test points, ICT/flying-probe/boundary-scan), not just assembly.

β€’ Hands-on electrical test and measurement; oscilloscopes, multimeters, and bench instruments, able both to run tests defined by the hardware team and to define test procedures.

β€’ Experience preparing and reviewing manufacturing output packages for handoff to internal lines and/or external CMs.

β€’ A constructive, direct communication style; can tell an engineer their design has a problem, make the case, and land the fix without friction.

Preferred Qualifications:

β€’ ECAD fluency (Altium, Cadence/Allegro, KiCad) enough to open a design, inspect footprints and layout and mark it up.

β€’ Experience standing up or scaling an in-house SMT line, or transitioning boards between internal and contract manufacturing.

β€’ CAM/DFM tooling depth (Valor, CAM350, Allegro DFM) and experience building or maintaining automated DFM rule decks.

β€’ Automated/functional test (ATE) experience; National Instruments/LabVIEW, Pico Technology, or equivalent.

β€’ Robotics, automotive, aerospace, medical, or other precision/high-reliability electronics backgrounds.

β€’ Lean/Six Sigma and SPC on an SMT line.

β€’ Familiarity with ERP/MES and PLM systems.

Why this role

You'll own the seam between how our electronics are designed and how they're actually built β€” the place where yield, cost, and scale are won or lost. You'll have real authority to set the DFM standard, the tools to enforce it, and a design team that needs your feedback to ship. If you like being the person who makes hard boards manufacturable and hates seeing preventable defects reach the line, this is your seat.

Compensation and Benefits

The salary range for this role is $110,000 to $145,000. We are open to a variety of seniority levels for this role and will build compensation packages that are commensurate with seniority and skill level. Base salary is just one part of the overall compensation at Standard Bots. All Full-Time Employees are eligible for Employee Stock Options. We also offer a package of benefits including paid time off, medical/dental/vision insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, and 401(k) to regular full-time employees.

Our hardware is a tightly integrated electromechanical system, and we build it in-house at our Glen Cove, NY facility.

About Standard Bots

Standard Bots is building the next generation of industrial robots -- hardware that's powerful, affordable, and designed to scale. We're the largest U.S. industrial robotics company by robots shipped, and our robots are showing up on factory floors everywhere from independent machine shops to NASA and Lockheed Martin.

Note: This role is technically remote, but you must live on the west coast (preference for California). This job is customer-facing and requires up to 50% domestic travel, Monday through Friday. If that makes you nervous, this probably isn't the right fit. If that sounds like a perk, read on.

Also note: This is not a software engineering role. If you're looking for a job where you sit at a desk and write application code, this is the wrong job description. If you want to actually build things, wire things up, and watch them run -- keep reading.

The Role

The Senior Applications Engineer is one of the rarest profiles in industrial automation -- and one of the most important roles at Standard Bots.

You're not a mechanical engineer. You're not an electrical engineer. You're not a software engineer. You're all three, and you know how to make them talk to each other. You can look at a customer's production line, understand what's broken or slow or manual, and figure out how to fix it with a robot. Then you build the proof of concept, get on a plane, and go install it.

From pre to post sale, you're the one working closely with the sales team to make the solution real. You'll build the proof of concept, design the integration, write the python scripts, build the fixture, run the wiring, and commission the cell -- then train the customer's team on how to use it. You'll also help run demos at trade shows, support trainings at customer sites and in our shop, and be the technical backbone for every customer engagement that requires hands-on expertise.

This is a builder's role. Tinkerers welcome. People who get bored at a desk are strongly encouraged to apply.

What You'll Do

Solution Design & Proof of Concept

- Work with the sales team and customers to understand automation goals, production constraints, and integration requirements

- Design practical, buildable solutions around Standard Bots' hardware -- and build the proof of concept yourself to validate it works before anyone signs anything

- Develop application notes, sample code, and supporting documentation that help customers and internal teams understand how to replicate and scale solutions

Field Installation & Integration

- Travel to customer sites to install, program, wire, and commission robotic cells

- Own the integration from mechanical setup through software configuration -- fixtures, I/O, PLC handshakes, safety, test, sign-off

- Troubleshoot on-site when things don't go as planned (and sometimes they don't) -- you stay until it works

Customer Training & Support

- Train customer operators and technicians on Standard Bots hardware and software -- both on-site and at our facility

- Support customers post-install as they find new applications and push the limits of what the robot can do

- Be a trusted technical resource for the accounts you've worked with -- they'll call you when something comes up

Trade Shows & Demos

- Represent Standard Bots at industry events and trade shows -- build the demo, run it live, talk shop with engineers and plant managers on the floor

- Help develop and maintain demo systems that show the breadth of what Standard Bots hardware can do

Internal Collaboration

- Feed real-world integration learnings back to our hardware and software engineering teams -- you're on the front lines and your input shapes the product

- Assist in-house engineering with testing new features, peripherals, and integrations as we expand the platform

What We're Looking For

- A genuine trifecta: you're comfortable with mechanical systems, electrical systems, and software -- not just one of the three

- 6+ years of hands-on experience with industrial automation fundamentals: PLC programming and ladder logic, pneumatics, DC power systems (you know the difference between NPN and PNP), robot programming (any platform), and Python scripting

- Proficiency with CAD -- SolidWorks preferred, but we care more that you can design and think in 3D than which tool you use

- Customer-facing experience -- you can explain a technical integration to an engineer, a plant manager, and an ops director in the same conversation and land differently with each one

- A genuine bias for getting things done in the field, not just in theory -- you'd rather build it than write about it

- Comfort with up to 50% domestic travel; this role is hands-on and on-site by nature

- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, or a related engineering discipline -- or equivalent hands-on experience that tells the same story

Nice to Have

- Prior experience with collaborative robots (UR, Fanuc, KUKA, ABB, or similar)

- Familiarity with machine tending, palletizing, welding, or assembly automation applications

- Experience with vision systems, force/torque sensing, or custom end-of-arm tooling

- Background in a manufacturing or production environment -- you've worked on or near a factory floor before

Compensation and Benefits

The salary range for this role is $150,000 to $200,000, depending on experience. We are open to a variety of seniority levels for this role and will build compensation packages that are commensurate with seniority and skill level. Base salary is just one part of the overall compensation at Standard Bots. All Full-Time Employees are eligible for Employee Stock Options. We also offer a package of benefits including paid time off, medical/dental/vision insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, and 401(k) to regular full-time employees.

About Standard Bots

Standard Bots is building the next generation of industrial robots -- hardware that's powerful, affordable, and designed to scale. We're the largest U.S. industrial robotics company by robots shipped, and our robots are showing up on factory floors everywhere from independent machine shops to NASA and Lockheed Martin. Someone has to make sure those robots actually work -- and someone has to build the team that makes that happen at scale. That's this role.

Note: This position is technically remote, but is territory based and requires you to live on the West Coast. This role also requires up to 25% domestic travel. You're still in the field -- just not living out of a suitcase 2-3 days a week.

Also note: Like every Applications Engineer at Standard Bots, this is not a software engineering role. You are a hands-on industrial automation engineer who also happens to lead people. If you've never commissioned a robotic cell, this isn't the right seat.

The Role

The Applications Engineering Manager is a player-coach. You still know your way around a factory floor -- fixtures, I/O, ladder logic, robot programming, all the things -- and you use that expertise every day, both to stay sharp and to earn the respect of the team you're leading.

You'll manage a team of Applications Engineers across your territory, owning their development, their workload, and the quality of every customer engagement they touch. You'll be the escalation point when installs get complicated, the person who jumps on a plane when a customer situation needs senior eyes, and the one who sets the standard for what great applications engineering looks like at Standard Bots.

This is still a hands-on role. You're not managing from a desk. You're leading from the front.

You'll report directly to the VP of Applications Engineering.

What You'll Do

Team Leadership & Development

- Manage and develop a team of Applications Engineers across your territory -- setting expectations, coaching on technical and customer-facing skills, and building a team that executes at a high level

- Own capacity planning and workload distribution across your team -- making sure the right engineer is on the right job and nobody is drowning

- Be the technical and cultural standard-setter for your team; the bar you hold yourself to is the bar your team rises to

- Conduct regular 1:1s, performance conversations, and development planning -- you invest in your people's growth, not just their output

Territory & Customer Ownership

- Own the applications engineering function for your territory -- from pre-sales POC support through post-install customer success

- Serve as the senior technical escalation point for complex integrations, difficult customer situations, or installs that aren't going as planned

- Partner closely with your Regional Sales Manager on territory priorities, pipeline, and customer strategy -- you're the technical counterpart to their commercial leadership

- Maintain strong relationships with key customer accounts in your territory; they should know you by name and trust your judgment

Hands-On Technical Work

- Stay sharp and stay in it -- you're still designing solutions, reviewing integrations, commissioning cells, and supporting installs when the situation calls for it

- Lead or co-lead technically complex or strategically important customer engagements yourself

- Review and sign off on solution designs, POCs, and integration plans produced by your team

- Travel to customer sites as needed -- up to 25% domestically -- for escalations, key installs, and customer relationship moments

Standards & Continuous Improvement

- Define and enforce the standard for how applications engineering work gets done in your territory -- documentation, handoffs, commissioning checklists, customer training quality

- Feed territory-level learnings back to the broader applications engineering organization and to product and engineering teams

- Help build the playbooks, templates, and training materials that make every AE on your team better and every deployment more repeatable

What We're Looking For

- The same trifecta as our Applications Engineers -- you're genuinely fluent across mechanical, electrical, and software: PLC programming and ladder logic, pneumatics, DC power systems, robot programming, Python scripting, CAD

- 5+ years of hands-on applications engineering, systems integration, or automation engineering experience -- you've done the field work and done it well

- 2+ years of people management or team lead experience -- you've led engineers, given hard feedback, and helped someone grow

- Strong customer-facing presence -- you can manage a difficult customer conversation, set expectations clearly, and represent Standard Bots credibly at a senior level

- Experience managing a distributed team or territory; you know how to lead people you don't see every day

- Comfort with up to 25% domestic travel for escalations, key customer engagements, and team support

- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, or a related engineering discipline -- or equivalent hands-on experience that tells the same story

Nice to Have

- Prior experience with collaborative robots (UR, Fanuc, KUKA, ABB, or similar)

- Background scaling an applications engineering or field engineering function -- you've helped build something, not just inherited it

- Experience with vision systems, force/torque sensing, or custom end-of-arm tooling

- Familiarity with machine tending, palletizing, welding, or assembly automation applications

Compensation and Benefits

The salary range for this role is $140,000 to $180,000, depending on experience. We are open to a variety of seniority levels for this role and will build compensation packages that are commensurate with seniority and skill level. Base salary is just one part of the overall compensation at Standard Bots. All Full-Time Employees are eligible for Employee Stock Options. We also offer a package of benefits including paid time off, medical/dental/vision insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, and 401(k) to regular full-time employees.

About Standard Bots

Standard Bots builds AI-native industrial robot arms deployed at manufacturing facilities across the U.S. In June 2026 we closed a $200M Series C at a $1B valuation, led by RoboStrategy with continued backing from General Catalyst and new participation from the Amazon Industrial Innovation Fund and Samsung Next.

This Senior Recruiter role is quite literally building the team that’s building the robots!

Note: This role is hybrid, with 3x/week required in our Glen Cove, NY manufacturing facility

We are unable to offer visa sponsorship at this time.

The Role

We're looking for a Senior Recruiter who is scrappy, sourcing-obsessed, and built for startup chaos. You don't wait for candidates to apply. You find them, write copy that actually gets responses, run multi-stage outreach sequences, test subject lines, tweak messaging when response rates drop, and close people who have other offers on the table.

You'll work super closely with manufacturing leadership and own hiring across our entire factory floor, from entry-level assembly technicians to plant managers, manufacturing engineers, quality leads, and everyone in between. You can run a high-volume hourly hiring process and a hard-to-fill-outbound-heavy technical search in parallel without dropping the ball on either.

This is a full-cycle role! We believe sourcing and customer service philosophy is what separates good recruiters from great ones here, so you're constantly experimenting: new sequences, new channels, new angles on a message that wasn't landing. You notice when AI-generated copy sounds like AI-generated copy, and you fix it before it goes out. The ideal candidate has been keeping track of how many em dashes are in this JD and feels some sort of way about it.

You'll report directly to the Head of Recruiting.

What You'll Do

Sourcing & Pipeline Building

- Build and own outbound pipelines for every role in the manufacturing org

- Run multi-stage outreach sequences across email, LinkedIn, and other channels; track response rates, run experiments, and continuously iterate on messaging and copy

- Source candidates who don't apply through traditional channels: trade schools, vocational programs, community networks, referrals, and wherever else the right people actually are

- Stay three steps ahead of the floor's hiring needs so you're never starting from zero. You read the room, figure out what's broken, and fix it.

Full-Cycle Ownership

- Own the full search from first outreach to signed offer

- Partner with floor-level hiring managers and plant leadership to define what great looks like, build scorecards, and run tight, consistent interview processes

- Lead offer conversations and close candidates in a competitive skilled labor market

Process & Experimentation

- Bring structure to ambiguity

- Maintain clean, timely ATS data in Ashby

- Be a thought partner to manufacturing leadership on job titles, leveling, comp benchmarks, and interview design

- Deliver a candidate experience that feels organized and human at every level β€” from a first-time assembly tech to a seasoned plant manager. Conversational > transactional!

What We're Looking For

- 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally with a meaningful portion focused on manufacturing, industrial, or hardware environments

- Sourcing-first mindset! You love the hunt. You're most comfortable when you're building pipelines, not waiting on inbound

- Demonstrated experience running and optimizing multi-stage outreach sequences. You track open rates, response rates, and conversion, and you actually do something when the numbers aren't good

- A sharp eye for copy

- Direct experience hiring across a range of manufacturing roles β€” hourly production workers, skilled trades, manufacturing engineers, and operations leadership

- Startup or high-growth experience where you operated without a playbook, without hand-holding, and figured it out anyway

- Strong enough to manage the whole funnel independently and self-aware enough to know when to escalate

Nice to Have

- Experience hiring in robotics, automation, or advanced manufacturing environments

- Familiarity with skilled trades recruiting β€” CNC machinists, welders, electricians, maintenance technicians

- Experience building recruiting infrastructure and processes from scratch

- Proficiency with AI sourcing tools and automation platforms β€” and the judgment to know when the output is sloppy

Compensation and Benefits

The salary range for this role is $170,000 to $200,000, depending on experience. We are open to a variety of seniority levels for this role and will build compensation packages that are commensurate with seniority and skill level. Base salary is just one part of the overall compensation at Standard Bots. All Full-Time Employees are eligible for Employee Stock Options. We also offer a package of benefits including paid time off, medical/dental/vision insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, and 401(k) to regular full-time employees.

About Standard Bots

Standard Bots is building the next generation of industrial robots β€” hardware that's powerful, affordable, and designed to scale. We're moving fast from prototype to high-volume production, and we need the engineering foundation to match. This role is central to that.

Note: This role will be required to come into our Glen Cove, NY robotics factory 5 days/week. Relocation assistance available.

The Role

Reporting to the Head of Manufacturing Operations, the Plant Manager holds full accountability for day-to-day plant operations across Production, Quality, Engineering, Supply Chain, OpEx, HR, Finance, and EHS. This is a visible, present leadership role β€” one where operational discipline is modeled from the floor up. The Plant Manager sets the standard for how the facility operates, builds the systems and team structures that sustain quality at scale, and ensures execution is grounded in direct, firsthand knowledge of what is happening on the production floor.

The ideal candidate leads through direct engagement with operations β€” present on the floor, close to the work, and quick to mobilize around problems as they emerge. When disruptions arise β€”whether a line stoppage, a supplier shortfall, a quality excursion, or a build constraint β€” this leader diagnoses at the source, drives resolution in real time, and translates operational insight into lasting corrective action. Equally capable of strategic planning and tactical execution, this person bridges the floor and the boardroom with equal credibility.

About Standard Bots

Standard Bots is building the next generation of industrial robots -- hardware that's powerful, affordable, and designed to scale. We closed a Series C and we're scaling fast, and building the financial infrastructure to match that growth is critical. This role is central to that.

Note: This is a full-time, on-site role at our Glen Cove, NY manufacturing facility

The Role

We're looking for a Plant Controller to serve as the senior finance partner embedded at our manufacturing facility -- owning the plant's financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and cost accounting, and working side-by-side with Operations leadership to ensure financial discipline is built into every operational decision.

This role reports formally to the Senior Finance Manager, with a dotted-line relationship to the Plant Manager. That structure is intentional -- it preserves independent financial oversight while ensuring close day-to-day partnership with the people running the plant.

What You'll Do

Financial Reporting & Close

- Own the plant's full financial reporting: monthly close, variance analysis, and management reporting on plant performance

- Serve as the primary finance point of contact for the plant during external audits (RSM), providing supporting schedules and documentation

- Maintain internal controls at the plant level and flag risks or process gaps to corporate Finance

- Present financial results, forecasts, and cost analyses clearly and confidently to senior leadership -- translating plant-level detail into business-level insight

Budgeting & Forecasting

- Lead budgeting and forecasting for the facility, partnering with the Plant Manager on labor, materials, overhead, and capital planning

- Evaluate capital expenditure requests and provide financial analysis to support operational decision-making -- new equipment, additional shifts, headcount, and more

Cost Accounting & Inventory

- Oversee cost accounting for the plant: standard costs, BOM cost accuracy, landed cost methodology, and labor allocation (direct vs. indirect)

- Analyze manufacturing cost variances (material, labor, overhead) and partner with Operations to identify root causes and corrective actions

- Own inventory valuation, cycle counts, and obsolescence reserve analysis for the facility, ensuring GAAP compliance and audit readiness

Cross-Functional Partnership

- Partner with Procurement on vendor cost analysis, tariff/duty impact, and supply chain cost trends

- Provide financial training and guidance to plant operations staff on cost drivers and the financial impact of operational decisions

- Build a trusted, credible relationship with the Plant Manager and Operations team -- you're their finance partner, not a corporate auditor

What We're Looking For

- Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA or CMA preferred

- 5+ years of progressive accounting or finance experience, with at least 2 years in a manufacturing or plant finance role

- Strong understanding of GAAP, cost accounting, and inventory valuation

- Experience partnering directly with plant and operations leadership in a dotted-line or matrixed reporting structure

- Experience with ERP/MRP systems -- NetSuite or similar a plus

- Advanced Excel skills; comfortable building financial models and forecasts from scratch

- Strong presentation and communication skills -- you can walk a Plant Manager through a variance analysis and present the same material to a CFO

- Comfortable working independently on-site while maintaining strong alignment with corporate Finance

Nice to Have

- Experience with international supply chains, tariffs, and customs/duty considerations

- CPA or CMA credential

- Background in a high-growth, venture-backed manufacturing or hardware company

- Familiarity with standard costing in a multi-SKU, complex BOM environment

Compensation and Benefits

The salary range for this role is $150,000 to $170,000. We are open to a variety of seniority levels for this role and will build compensation packages that are commensurate with seniority and skill level. Base salary is just one part of the overall compensation at Standard Bots. All Full-Time Employees are eligible for Employee Stock Options. We also offer a package of benefits including paid time off, medical/dental/vision insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, and 401(k) to regular full-time employees.

About Standard Bots

Standard Bots builds AI-native industrial robot arms deployed at manufacturing facilities across the U.S. In June 2026 we closed a $200M Series C at a $1B valuation, led by RoboStrategy with continued backing from General Catalyst and new participation from the Amazon Industrial Innovation Fund and Samsung Next. This role is central to building the financial infrastructure to match our growth.

Note: This is a full-time, remote role open to candidates based anywhere in the U.S.

The Role

We're bringing payroll in-house. Standard Bots is migrating off a PEO onto Workday, with a January 1 go-live, and we're hiring a Payroll Specialist to own payroll end-to-end from day one of that transition.

This is a hands-on role with real scope. You'll run every payroll cycle, own the accuracy of what lands in employees' bank accounts, and be the person the rest of the company comes to with payroll questions. You'll also help finish standing up Workday Payroll -- testing, parallel runs, configuration cleanup -- and then run the system you helped build. If you like the combination of building something new and running it well, this is that job.

You'll report directly to the Senior Finance Manager and work closely with People Ops.

What You'll Do

Payroll Operations

- Own and execute full-cycle multi-state payroll in Workday for salaried and hourly employees, including off-cycle runs, terminations, retro pay, and bonus and commission payments

- Maintain payroll data integrity in Workday -- earnings and deduction codes, pay groups, work locations, tax elections, garnishments, and direct deposit

- Track hourly time and attendance, overtime, shift differentials, and PTO accruals in coordination with Manufacturing Operations

- Serve as the first point of contact for employee payroll questions, resolving them accurately and discreetly

Workday Implementation Support

- Support the final phase of the Workday Payroll implementation: configuration validation, test and parallel payroll runs, data migration checks, and cutover from our current PEO

- Document payroll procedures and build the internal controls, checklists, and approval workflows a growing company needs

Tax & Compliance

- Register and maintain state and local payroll tax accounts as we hire into new jurisdictions; monitor filings, deposits, and agency notices, and resolve issues through to closure

- Support quarter- and year-end payroll processes: 941s, W-2s, state filings, and amendments

Benefits, GL & Audit

- Administer payroll-side benefit and 401(k) deductions, including contribution changes and funding files; partner with People Ops and the plan provider on reconciliations and census data

- Reconcile payroll to the general ledger each cycle; prepare payroll journal entries and accruals and support the monthly close

- Provide payroll data and reconciliations for the annual financial statement audit, 401(k) audit, workers' compensation audit, and R&D tax credit studies

What We're Looking For

- 3+ years of full-cycle payroll experience, including multi-state payroll in the U.S.

- Hands-on Workday Payroll experience is required -- processing payroll in Workday, not just viewing reports in it

- Working knowledge of federal, state, and local payroll tax rules, wage and hour law, and FLSA classification

- Experience with payroll GL mapping, reconciliation, and journal entries

- Strong Excel skills and comfort working with large data sets

- Exceptional accuracy and follow-through -- the judgment to spot when a number looks wrong before it goes out the door

- Sound discretion with confidential compensation and employee data

- Clear written communication and the ability to work independently in a remote, fast-moving environment

Nice to Have

- Experience transitioning payroll from a PEO to an in-house Workday environment

- Experience with a manufacturing or other hourly, non-exempt workforce

- Workday Payroll implementation or configuration exposure (EIBs, calculated fields, payroll reporting)

- Experience at a venture-backed company scaling through rapid headcount growth

- CPP or FPC certification

Compensation and Benefits

The salary range for this role is $70,000 to $90,000, depending on experience. We are open to a variety of seniority levels for this role and will build compensation packages that are commensurate with seniority and skill level. Base salary is just one part of the overall compensation at Standard Bots. All Full-Time Employees are eligible for Employee Stock Options. We also offer a package of benefits including paid time off, medical/dental/vision insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, and 401(k) to regular full-time employees.

About Standard Bots

Standard Bots builds AI-native industrial robot arms deployed at manufacturing facilities across the U.S. In June 2026 we closed a $200M Series C at a $1B valuation, led by RoboStrategy with continued backing from General Catalyst and new participation from the Amazon Industrial Innovation Fund and Samsung Next. This role is central to building the financial infrastructure to match our growth.

Note: This role is hybrid, based out of our NYC office and/or Glen Cove, NY robotics factory/headquarters

The Role

Following our Series C, we're building the financial infrastructure to match our growth β€” with an eye toward an eventual IPO. We're looking for a Corporate Controller who has done this before. This role involves designing the control environment, owning the full external audit cycle, and compressing our close toward public-company standards, with direct exposure to leadership and β€” as we mature β€” the board and audit committee.

If you've taken a company through an S-1 and SOX 404 implementation before, or operated the close and controls of a public company under PCAOB audit, and you want to build that function again from the ground up, this is that role.

What You'll Do

Close, Controls & Audit

- Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close β€” and systematically drive the close timeline toward a best-in-class cadence

- Design and implement the internal control environment from the ground up: COSO framework, segregation of duties, approval matrices, and SOX-caliber documentation and testing

- Lead selection and onboarding of a PCAOB-registered external audit firm, and serve as the primary point of contact through the full audit cycle β€” owning PBC requests, walkthroughs, and audit support

- Build out the internal audit function as the company scales toward IPO readiness

- As we mature toward IPO readiness, present close, controls, and audit status to the board and audit committee alongside the CFO

Technical Accounting & Reporting

- Own technical accounting under US GAAP, including ASC 606 revenue recognition (hardware, services, and deferred revenue), inventory and standard costing, and stock-based compensation β€” authoring formal technical accounting position memos as needed for audit support

- Own equity and stock plan administration (ASC 718, cap table systems, 409A valuations) and ensure the systems and processes in place can scale to public-company requirements

- Build SEC reporting readiness, including familiarity with 10-K/10-Q drafting, XBRL tagging, and Emerging Growth Company (EGC) accommodations under the JOBS Act

- Partner with the Plant Controller on inventory accounting: cycle counts, wall-to-wall physical counts, reconciliations, and rollbacks

Systems & Policy

- Lead the accounting workstream of our ERP implementation (migrating off QuickBooks Online) and integration with adjacent systems (HRIS, procurement, spend management)

- Write and roll out company-wide policies and procedures: procure-to-pay, T&E, close calendar, and delegation of authority

- Use AI and automation to help scale the function without scaling headcount linearly

Team & Cross-Functional Partnership

- Build, mentor, and scale the accounting team as the company grows

- Partner with the Senior Finance Manager on budget-vs-actuals reporting and forecast accuracy

What We're Looking For

- CPA required; Big 4 or national firm foundation strongly preferred

- 10+ years of progressive accounting experience

- Public-company experience preferred β€” you've taken a company through an IPO (S-1 process, SOX 404 implementation) or operated the close and controls of a public company under PCAOB audit

- A proven record of implementing controls where none existed β€” you've built the control environment, not just inherited one

- Demonstrated success compressing close timelines in a growing company

- Experience selecting and managing a PCAOB-registered audit firm

- Experience with SEC reporting requirements and equity/stock plan administration systems

- Manufacturing or hardware experience with inventory and standard costing strongly preferred

- ERP implementation experience

- A hands-on, in-the-weeds operating style β€” you're as comfortable posting a journal entry as presenting to leadership

- The ability to work efficiently against aggressive deadlines and consistently hit close and audit dates

- Curiosity and drive to apply AI tools to automate and improve accounting processes

Compensation and Benefits

The salary range for this role is $300,000 to $450,000 base, scaling within that range based on the depth of public-market experience a candidate brings. Total compensation also includes a meaningful equity grant via Employee Stock Options, reflecting the company's Series C stage and $1B valuation. We also offer paid time off, medical/dental/vision insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, and 401(k) to regular full-time employees.
