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.

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.
Define the Future: Own the long-term product and technical vision for the AI agent and the vertical applications it powers, anticipating the scale, security, and product needs of LLM-powered robot programming a year or more out, including its core representation problem: how a language model safely reads, writes, and edits large structured automation programs.
Design the Experience: Own how programming a robot through conversation should feel: the interactions, defaults, and guardrails that earn an operator's trust.
Decouple and Scale: Design the agent's tool surface as clear, stable interfaces against our robot platform APIs, so that what the agent can do grows with the platform, not against it.
Standard Setter: Set the engineering standards for a nondeterministic product: latency and token budgets as product requirements, and evaluation gates as the bar every release must clear.
Product Ownership: Act as part-PM for your surface: work backwards from the product experience, spend real time with customers and operators, be opinionated on the roadmap, and own outcomes, not tickets.
Build the Verticals: Ship vertical applications alongside the agent: purpose-built flows for palletizing, welding, and machine tending that encode how the work is really done, and that the agent can drive end-to-end.
Drive the Program: Lead the agent's path from demo to release across our robot platform, QA, product, and AI teams: convert fast-moving asks into testable requirements and hold scope against a real ship date.
Hands-on Delivery: Own production hardening end-to-end across the agent's TypeScript/Node stack: reliability, secure key management and usage controls, degraded/offline modes, and review- and QA-gated release engineering.
Systemic Quality: Build the agent's evaluation discipline (datasets mined from real usage, regression gates in CI, model-graded scoring) so that every early-customer failure, in any vertical, becomes an eval case and every eval win becomes a release decision.
Technical Multiplier: Mentor and coach the engineers around you, significantly contributing to their technical growth and to the quality of everything the team ships.
Influence & Accountability: Bring rigor to how the company understands agent quality: shared metrics that leadership, product, and customers can trust.
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: 8+ years of professional software engineering, including hands-on AI work: shipping an LLM-powered product (agent, copilot, AI-native workflow), building model evaluation systems, or production data work for AI/ML. Ownership of an LLM product end-to-end is the strongest fit.
LLM Product Engineering: Fluency in agent loops and tool calling, prompt and context management, structured output, model selection and fallbacks, and token/latency economics as engineering constraints.
Evaluation & Quality: You've built eval datasets, harnesses, or regression gates for nondeterministic systems and used them to make real launch decisions.
Product Thinking: You've owned what to build, not just how to build it: you talk directly to users, form sharp opinions about their problems, and put decisions in writing. Experience serving operational, domain-heavy users (manufacturing, logistics, field operations) is a strong plus.
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.
Excelling in Ambitious Environments: Your best work happened where the bar was public, leadership was close to the product, and the plan changed weekly.
Tech Stack Expertise: Fluency in TypeScript/Node.js is preferred, with range across our core stack (React, Python, C++, Kubernetes).
This role is hybrid with 3 days/week onsite in our NYC office, centrally located near Grand Central Station.
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.

","descriptionPlain":"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.\n\nYour 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.\n\n\nWHAT YOU'LL DO\n\n\n🏗️ STRATEGIC ARCHITECTURE & LONG-TERM VISION\n\n - Define the Future: Own the long-term product and technical vision for the AI agent and the vertical applications it powers, anticipating the scale, security, and product needs of LLM-powered robot programming a year or more out, including its core representation problem: how a language model safely reads, writes, and edits large structured automation programs.\n\n - Design the Experience: Own how programming a robot through conversation should feel: the interactions, defaults, and guardrails that earn an operator's trust.\n\n - Decouple and Scale: Design the agent's tool surface as clear, stable interfaces against our robot platform APIs, so that what the agent can do grows with the platform, not against it.\n\n - Standard Setter: Set the engineering standards for a nondeterministic product: latency and token budgets as product requirements, and evaluation gates as the bar every release must clear.\n\n\n🏎️ COMPLEX PROJECT LEADERSHIP & EXECUTION\n\n - Product Ownership: Act as part-PM for your surface: work backwards from the product experience, spend real time with customers and operators, be opinionated on the roadmap, and own outcomes, not tickets.\n\n - Build the Verticals: Ship vertical applications alongside the agent: purpose-built flows for palletizing, welding, and machine tending that encode how the work is really done, and that the agent can drive end-to-end.\n\n - Drive the Program: Lead the agent's path from demo to release across our robot platform, QA, product, and AI teams: convert fast-moving asks into testable requirements and hold scope against a real ship date.\n\n - Hands-on Delivery: Own production hardening end-to-end across the agent's TypeScript/Node stack: reliability, secure key management and usage controls, degraded/offline modes, and review- and QA-gated release engineering.\n\n\n🛠️ PRODUCTION EXCELLENCE & ORGANIZATIONAL LEVERAGE\n\n - Systemic Quality: Build the agent's evaluation discipline (datasets mined from real usage, regression gates in CI, model-graded scoring) so that every early-customer failure, in any vertical, becomes an eval case and every eval win becomes a release decision.\n\n - Technical Multiplier: Mentor and coach the engineers around you, significantly contributing to their technical growth and to the quality of everything the team ships.\n\n - Influence & Accountability: Bring rigor to how the company understands agent quality: shared metrics that leadership, product, and customers can trust.\n\n\nWHO YOU ARE\n\nWe 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.\n\n\nSKILLS YOU'LL BRING\n\n - Experience: 8+ years of professional software engineering, including hands-on AI work: shipping an LLM-powered product (agent, copilot, AI-native workflow), building model evaluation systems, or production data work for AI/ML. Ownership of an LLM product end-to-end is the strongest fit.\n\n - LLM Product Engineering: Fluency in agent loops and tool calling, prompt and context management, structured output, model selection and fallbacks, and token/latency economics as engineering constraints.\n\n - Evaluation & Quality: You've built eval datasets, harnesses, or regression gates for nondeterministic systems and used them to make real launch decisions.\n\n - Product Thinking: You've owned what to build, not just how to build it: you talk directly to users, form sharp opinions about their problems, and put decisions in writing. 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\n📍 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
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.

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

Notes This role will be required to come into our Glen Cove robotics factory 5 days/week
You write the code that proves our software works. SDETs are developers first. You build the test-automation and feature test suites the rest of QA runs on, and you validate features in real time alongside the engineers building them, so bugs are caught before they become tickets
Build and own automated tests and feature test suites (end-to-end, integration)
Validate features in real time during the sprint, partnering tightly with developers so defects are solved as they appear.
Hand off maintainable feature test code to Systems Test Engineers and support them as they extend it.
Build SW-based mocks/simulators for hardware (e.g., grippers) so testing isn't gated on physical hardware.
Develop tooling and infrastructure that makes the whole QA org faster (test data, reporting).
Review designs and PRs for testability and push coverage upstream into development.
Quality-First Mindset: Quality is the job, not a gate at the end of it. You value simplicity, reliability, and velocity in equal measure, treat every escaped defect as a process to fix, and would rather prevent a bug than file one.
Strong Software Engineering: 3+ years (or strong equivalent) writing production-quality code daily in Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, or similar.
Test Automation & Frameworks: Deep experience in automated test infrastructure (Playwright, pytest, Jest) and CI/CD pipelines.
Systems Thinking: Comfortable debugging networked/distributed systems.

A relentless focus on simplicity and ease of use brings the revolutionary potential of robotic automation to new users and industries. \n\n\n\nNotes This role will be required to come into our Glen Cove robotics factory 5 days/week\n\n\n\n\nWHAT YOU'LL DO\n\nYou write the code that proves our software works. SDETs are developers first. You build the test-automation and feature test suites the rest of QA runs on, and you validate features in real time alongside the engineers building them, so bugs are caught before they become tickets\n\n\nRESPONSIBILITIES\n\n - Build and own automated tests and feature test suites (end-to-end, integration)\n\n - Validate features in real time during the sprint, partnering tightly with developers so defects are solved as they appear.\n\n - Hand off maintainable feature test code to Systems Test Engineers and support them as they extend it.\n\n - Build SW-based mocks/simulators for hardware (e.g., grippers) so testing isn't gated on physical hardware.\n\n - Develop tooling and infrastructure that makes the whole QA org faster (test data, reporting).\n\n - Review designs and PRs for testability and push coverage upstream into development.\n\n\nSKILLS YOU'LL BRING\n\n - Quality-First Mindset: Quality is the job, not a gate at the end of it. You value simplicity, reliability, and velocity in equal measure, treat every escaped defect as a process to fix, and would rather prevent a bug than file one.\n\n - Strong Software Engineering: 3+ years (or strong equivalent) writing production-quality code daily in Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, or similar.\n\n - Test Automation & Frameworks: Deep experience in automated test infrastructure (Playwright, pytest, Jest) and CI/CD pipelines.\n\n - Systems Thinking: Comfortable debugging networked/distributed systems.\n\n - Collaboration: You enjoy pairing with developers and Systems Engineers.\n\n\nWHO YOU ARE\n\nA quality-first developer, first and foremost.

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
- 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 is developing the next generation of industrial robots—hardware that is powerful, affordable, and built for scalability. As we move rapidly from prototype to high-volume production, we require program management infrastructure that can keep pace. This role is integral to achieving that goal.
We are vertically integrating our core manufacturing processes, including CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, finishing, and casting. This strategy is essential for maintaining the speed, resilience, and cost-efficiency of our robot production as we scale.
Note: This is a full-time, on-site role at our Glen Cove, NY manufacturing facility and HQ.
The Role
Owning how a strategy becomes reality. Taking an ambiguous, high-stakes mandate and standing up the program behind it; structuring the work, building the plan, managing internal and external partners, and driving it to a decision leadership can act on and a plan the organization can execute. It is a high-ownership, high-ambiguity role with direct CEO visibility, sitting at the intersection of manufacturing, corporate strategy, and program execution.
What You'll Do
Establish programs. Transform an ambiguous strategic mandate into organized work-streams, assign owners, set milestones, and create a budget. Designing the operating system that supports the entire effort.
Build the plan. Convert strategy into decision-grade plans: requirements definition, options analysis, cost models, and a costed, sequenced recommendation.
Own execution. Drive work-streams to completion, hold the schedule and budget, manage dependencies, and clear blockers before they stall the program.
Manage stakeholders and partners. Coordinate internal functions (engineering, supply chain, finance) and external partners and consultants; scope engagements and hold them to budget and deadline.
Quantify the decision. Build and own the financial models, make-vs-buy, CapEx, breakeven, unit economics that leadership decisions rest on.
Drive to a decision. Synthesize the work into executive-grade readouts and move leadership to a clear, timely call.
Basic Qualifications:
7+ years leading cross-functional programs to executive decisions in manufacturing/operations, corporate strategy or BizOps at a hardware company, or management consulting with genuine industrial exposure.
Demonstrated ownership of a complex, ambiguous effort driven from strategy through to an executable plan.
Financial-modeling fluency: breakeven, CapEx, unit economics, and enough M&A literacy (EBITDA multiples) to own and pressure-test a make-vs-buy model.
Executive communication: structured written synthesis and board-quality presentations.
Vendor and consultant management, scoping and holding external partners to budget and deadline.
Comfort operating without a playbook, at startup pace, with direct executive exposure.
Preferred Qualifications:
Prior make-vs-buy, re-shoring, capacity-expansion, or M&A-evaluation experience.
Working literacy across manufacturing processes (machining, sheet metal, finishing, casting).
Experience standing up a shop, plant, or lab from scratch.
Robotics or precision-hardware background.
PMP or equivalent
Experience working with Long Island/NY-metro manufacturing organizations.
Compensation and Benefits
The salary range for this role is $180,000 to $210,000. 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 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

","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. \n\n\n\nNote: 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.\n\n\n\nAlso 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.\n\n\n\nThe Role\n\nThe Senior Applications Engineer is one of the rarest profiles in industrial automation -- and one of the most important roles at Standard Bots.\n\n\nYou'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.\n\n\nFrom 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.\n\n\nThis is a builder's role. Tinkerers welcome. People who get bored at a desk are strongly encouraged to apply.\n\n\n\nWhat You'll Do\n\nSolution Design & Proof of Concept\n\n- Work with the sales team and customers to understand automation goals, production constraints, and integration requirements\n\n- Design practical, buildable solutions around Standard Bots' hardware -- and build the proof of concept yourself to validate it works before anyone signs anything\n\n- Develop application notes, sample code, and supporting documentation that help customers and internal teams understand how to replicate and scale solutions\n\n\n\nField Installation & Integration\n\n- Travel to customer sites to install, program, wire, and commission robotic cells\n\n- Own the integration from mechanical setup through software configuration -- fixtures, I/O, PLC handshakes, safety, test, sign-off\n\n- Troubleshoot on-site when things don't go as planned (and sometimes they don't) -- you stay until it works\n\n\n\nCustomer Training & Support\n\n- Train customer operators and technicians on Standard Bots hardware and software -- both on-site and at our facility\n\n- Support customers post-install as they find new applications and push the limits of what the robot can do\n\n- Be a trusted technical resource for the accounts you've worked with -- they'll call you when something comes up\n\n\n\nTrade Shows & Demos\n\n- 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\n\n- Help develop and maintain demo systems that show the breadth of what Standard Bots hardware can do\n\n\n\nInternal Collaboration\n\n- 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\n\n- Assist in-house engineering with testing new features, peripherals, and integrations as we expand the platform\n\n\n\nWhat We're Looking For\n\n- A genuine trifecta: you're comfortable with mechanical systems, electrical systems, and software -- not just one of the three\n\n- 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\n\n- Proficiency with CAD -- SolidWorks preferred, but we care more that you can design and think in 3D than which tool you use\n\n- 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\n\n- A genuine bias for getting things done in the field, not just in theory -- you'd rather build it than write about it\n\n- Comfort with up to 50% domestic travel; this role is hands-on and on-site by nature\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- Familiarity with machine tending, palletizing, welding, or assembly automation applications\n\n- Experience with vision systems, force/torque sensing, or custom end-of-arm tooling\n\n- Background in a manufacturing or production environment -- you've worked on or near a factory floor before\n\n\n\nCompensation and Benefits\n\nThe salary range for this role is $150,000 to $200,000, depending on experience.

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 $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.

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.

You'll run structured manual and exploratory test passes across Standard Bots' software — the robot control apps, teach pendant, and core workflows — execute regression every release, and file clean, well-documented bugs. Because our software drives physical 6-axis robots, a bug isn't just a UI glitch; it can move real hardware. Careful, observant testing is the whole job.
This is a contract role (roughly 3 months, with the option to extend). It's a strong fit for an experienced manual tester who is disciplined, hardware-curious, and writes crisp reproduction steps.
Execute manual regression and smoke passes across software releases — on the product UI and on real robots — to catch regressions before they reach customers.
Run broad exploratory testing across complex robotic workflows: probe edge cases, unusual sequences, and the failure modes scripted tests miss.
Write and maintain clear, repeatable manual test cases in our test-management tool (Qase), and keep them current as features ship.
File high-quality bug reports with precise reproduction steps, system state, logs, and firmware/build versions, so engineers can act without back-and-forth.
Partner with SDETs and Systems Test Engineers to reproduce and isolate defects, and surface the coverage gaps you find along the way.
Support release QA, including gated test runs and release-candidate validation, and report results clearly.
Perform basic recovery on test hardware (re-home, reset) to keep test cells available.
Manual Testing Foundation: 2+ years of hands-on manual QA experience, with strong test-case design and disciplined, repeatable execution.
Exploratory Instincts: A knack for breaking things — you find the failure modes no one thought to script.
Clear Bug Reporting: Excellent written communication. You capture the state, logs, and steps needed to reproduce, not just a screenshot.
Hardware Curiosity: Comfortable testing a product where software controls physical hardware, and aware that software bugs have physical consequences.
Tooling Comfort: At home in Linux/CLI environments and with test-management tools (Qase or similar); basic scripting is a plus.
Methodical & Reliable: You follow procedures precisely, notice when something is off, and chase it down.
A detail-oriented, self-driven tester who takes pride in catching what everyone else misses. You're comfortable around hardware, communicate clearly, and thrive in a fast-moving release cycle. No robotics background required.
Experience testing products where software controls physical hardware (robots, EVs, drones, medical devices, appliances)
Familiarity with test-management tools (Qase, TestRail) and bug trackers (Asana, Jira)
Basic scripting (Python, Bash) or CLI comfort for log parsing and data extraction
Exposure to robotic systems (6-axis arms, collaborative robots) or hardware-in-the-loop testing
Familiarity with network protocols (SSH, HTTP)
About Standard Bots
Standard Bot's mission is to significantly lower the barrier to entry to real-world automation, bringing the power of bits to the world of atoms and unlocking productivity for entire new industries and users. Our user-facing applications and APIs directly empower individuals and developers to jump directly into solving their challenges without the need for a background in robotics or automation. A relentless focus on simplicity and ease of use brings this revolutionary potential to new users and industries.
What You'll Do
We're looking for a seasoned, broad software engineer to join our AI team and build the systems our models depend on. Our AI researchers push the modeling frontier; this role owns nearly everything around it — the data that goes in, the infrastructure that trains and evaluates, the perception plumbing that connects cameras to the robot, and the product surfaces that put all of it in a customer's hands.
The AI team is small, so the surface area is wide and the ownership is real. You may move between adding functionality to the data ingestion pipeline, a camera calibration bug, and a customer-facing feature in the same month — and you'll decide which of those matters most this week.
Location and Benefits
This role is hybrid with 3 days/week onsite in our NYC office, centrally located near Grand Central Station. The office is fully equipped with robots for demos and testing!
Responsibilities
Identify, scope, and drive high impact technical and user facing projects across the AI team's stack
Ship the product surfaces that expose AI capabilities to users — the applications and APIs customers actually touch
Mentor and advise other engineers as well as peers on technical and personal advancement
Drive technical decision making and implementation through hands-on and technically deep work
Plus ownership of one or more of these, depending on where your experience is strongest:
Data pipelines: the flywheel for end-to-end AI — ingestion of teleop and demonstration data, labeling and curation tooling, dataset quality metrics
Training and evaluation infrastructure: training pipelines, experiment tracking, GPU orchestration, model versioning, and deployment out to robots
Perception integration: camera calibration, vision pipelines, and getting model outputs into the robot runtime reliably
Tech Stack
Front-end: React, TypeScript
Back-end: Node.js, Python, C++
ML: PyTorch
Kubernetes
Docker
GitHub Actions
Who You Are
We do not require a background in robotics.
We're looking for engineers who are self driven, optimistic, creative, and resourceful. We have no requirements for a background in robotics, but find most success with engineers excited by the domain and looking to apply their expertise and experience in a new area.
Our ideal candidate will be open to doing approximately 70% back-end and 30% front-end work with flexibility to sway more towards one or the other, depending on current projects and team needs.
This is a generalist role first — but on the AI team, so we're looking for someone whose breadth already reaches into at least one AI-adjacent domain.
Skills You'll Bring
Experience: You have a strong technical background, including 5-10 years of experience working in complex environments
AI-adjacent depth (strongly preferred): You have professional experience in at least one of ML Ops, data pipelines, or computer vision — for example building training or inference infrastructure, running large-scale data ingestion and curation, or shipping a vision pipeline to production. You don't need to have trained the models yourself.
Growth + Optimism: You are excited by new domains and challenges, and eager to pick up new context to accelerate your impact
Clarity of Communication: You excel in written and verbal communication and enjoy leveraging your skills to support your peers
Impact Driven: You relentlessly seek user impact and value execution over technical idealism
Proactive Simplicity: You prioritize simplicity, reliability, and velocity and proactively identify opportunities to improve proposed implementations or incumbent systems
Excelling in Ambitious Environments: You excel in dynamic and ambitious environments, working with a diverse group of individuals and backgrounds
Compensation and Benefits
The base salary range for this role is $180,000 to $210,000, depending on experience. 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.

A relentless focus on simplicity and ease of use brings this revolutionary potential to new users and industries.
We are looking for an exceptional Staff Software Engineer to work on site with one of our largest customers. That customer is an AI robotics company that drives our arms from its own models through our streaming APIs and SDK. You join our SDK and external APIs team and build on our platform. For the first nine to twelve months, you spend most of your week at the customer's facility in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Your impact will be measured not just by fixing their problem but building production level fixes that make it into our product. It will also be measured by how much of what you learn on site shapes the platform for all developers who build on our APIs.
Define the Future: Own the technical vision for how advanced customers drive our robots programmatically: realtime streaming control, the Python SDK, ROS 2 integration, and the safety limits that make streamed motion trustworthy across a fleet.
Decouple and Scale: Generalize what you learn on site into product capabilities with clear, stable interfaces. Each fix and feature you ship should be brought back to the team to bring into the product for all developers. You keep that standard through all one-off solutions.
Standard Setter: Set the bar for the reliability, safety, and observability of our external control surface. Failure modes found in the field then become tested guarantees in the platform.
Represent the Customer Inside Engineering: Be the customer's technical point of contact and the team's eyes on their floor. Convert what you see into prioritized, testable requirements. Hold the line when a request takes the product somewhere unsafe or off the roadmap.
Pragmatic Trade-Offs: Decide clearly between the fast fix the customer needs this week and the durable change the platform needs. Put those decisions in writing for both sides.
Hands-on Delivery: Ship fixes and features across our stack, from TypeScript/Node services and our Python SDK to a ROS 2 adapter and the robot controller. Take each one from a first reproduction at the customer's cell to a release-gated change in the product.
Systemic Reliability: Root-cause the hard problems on site: realtime streaming faults, networking and environment issues, safety stops, and collision behavior. Turn each one into fixes, tests, and runbooks that prevent recurrence across the customer’s fleet.
Technical Multiplier: Pair with the customer's engineers to help them diagnose and integrate more on their own. Bring what you learn back to the team, and everyone builds with the customer's reality in view.
Influence & Accountability: Run the weekly working session with the customer's engineers and contribute to the monthly roadmap review with their leadership. Priorities then live in one place, and progress is visible to both companies.
We are looking for a technically deep, product-minded engineer who wants to see their work run in a customer's facility every day. You are direct and tactful with customers, hard to push into shortcuts, and quick to ramp on a large existing codebase. You want to spend most of your week at a customer site.
Experience: 8+ years of professional software engineering, including ownership of a technical problem space end to end and leadership of complex work across teams. Time as a forward deployed, solutions, or customer-embedded engineer is a strong plus. Experience with a technical customer that runs its own engineering team matters more than the title you held.
Debugging Depth: You root-cause across a distributed system: Linux, containers, networking, logs, and timing, often on hardware you did not build and with incomplete information.
Customer Judgment: You have worked directly with demanding technical customers. You know how to decline a request and offer the roadmap path instead, and you handle sensitive product information with care.
Clarity of Communication: You write requirements, incident write-ups, and decisions that a customer's ML engineer and our leadership can both act on.
Tech Stack Expertise: Fluency in Python and TypeScript/Node.js, with range across the rest of our stack (React, C++, Kubernetes). Working knowledge of ROS 2 is preferred.
Robotics and Realtime Control is a plus: Hands-on experience with robot control interfaces such as ROS 2, streaming or trajectory APIs, or motion control at 100 Hz and above. Familiarity with safety stops and collision handling is a plus.
This role is on site at our customer's facility in the San Francisco Bay Area, five days a week, for the first nine to twelve months. You start with about a month of onboarding with the team, followed by at least two weeks in our New York City office. After that, you return to New York for a week every one to two months. When the on-site engagement ends, the role continues on the SDK and external APIs team.
When you are in New York, you work from our office near Grand Central Station:
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.
Collaborative & Modern Space: Enjoy open collaborative spaces for team problem-solving and focus zones for deep work.
Customizable Workstations: We provide ergonomic and customizable setups to ensure a comfortable and productive work environment.
Amenities: Daily catered lunch, fully stocked kitchens with snacks and beverages, and regular team events.
The base salary range for this role is $215,000 to $275,000, depending on experience. 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.

Take each one from a first reproduction at the customer's cell to a release-gated change in the product.\n\n\n PRODUCTION EXCELLENCE & ORGANIZATIONAL LEVERAGE\n\n - Systemic Reliability: Root-cause the hard problems on site: realtime streaming faults, networking and environment issues, safety stops, and collision behavior. Turn each one into fixes, tests, and runbooks that prevent recurrence across the customer’s fleet.\n\n - Technical Multiplier: Pair with the customer's engineers to help them diagnose and integrate more on their own. Bring what you learn back to the team, and everyone builds with the customer's reality in view.\n\n - Influence & Accountability: Run the weekly working session with the customer's engineers and contribute to the monthly roadmap review with their leadership. Priorities then live in one place, and progress is visible to both companies.\n\n\nWHO YOU ARE\n\nWe are looking for a technically deep, product-minded engineer who wants to see their work run in a customer's facility every day. You are direct and tactful with customers, hard to push into shortcuts, and quick to ramp on a large existing codebase. You want to spend most of your week at a customer site.\n\n\n\n\nSKILLS YOU'LL BRING\n\n - Experience: 8+ years of professional software engineering, including ownership of a technical problem space end to end and leadership of complex work across teams. Time as a forward deployed, solutions, or customer-embedded engineer is a strong plus. Experience with a technical customer that runs its own engineering team matters more than the title you held.\n\n - Debugging Depth: You root-cause across a distributed system: Linux, containers, networking, logs, and timing, often on hardware you did not build and with incomplete information.\n\n - Customer Judgment: You have worked directly with demanding technical customers. You know how to decline a request and offer the roadmap path instead, and you handle sensitive product information with care.\n\n - Clarity of Communication: You write requirements, incident write-ups, and decisions that a customer's ML engineer and our leadership can both act on.\n\n - Tech Stack Expertise: Fluency in Python and TypeScript/Node.js, with range across the rest of our stack (React, C++, Kubernetes). Working knowledge of ROS 2 is preferred.\n\n - Robotics and Realtime Control is a plus: Hands-on experience with robot control interfaces such as ROS 2, streaming or trajectory APIs, or motion control at 100 Hz and above. Familiarity with safety stops and collision handling is a plus.\n\n\n LOCATION AND BENEFITS\n\nThis role is on site at our customer's facility in the San Francisco Bay Area, five days a week, for the first nine to twelve months. You start with about a month of onboarding with the team, followed by at least two weeks in our New York City office. After that, you return to New York for a week every one to two months. When the on-site engagement ends, the role continues on the SDK and external APIs team.\n\n\nOFFICE & WORKPLACE PERKS\n\nWhen you are in New York, you work from our office near Grand Central Station:\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\nCOMPENSATION\n\nThe base salary range for this role is $215,000 to $275,000, depending on experience. Base salary is just one part of the overall compensation at Standard Bots. All Full-Time Employees are eligible for Employee Stock Options.

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 — 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
• DFM review of PCB designs. Review PCBA layouts, footprints, stack-ups, and fabrication/assembly packages before release — 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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:
• Associate's or Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering Technology (EET), Electrical or Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field or equivalent hands-on experience.
• 4+ years in electronics/PCBA manufacturing engineering, with hands-on ownership of an SMT line and its process (paste, placement, reflow, AOI, rework).
• 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.
• Fluency with IPC standards (IPC-A-610, IPC-7351, IPC-2221, J-STD-001) and the vocabulary to hold a design review to them.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Experience preparing and reviewing manufacturing output packages for handoff to internal lines and/or external CMs.
• 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:
• ECAD fluency (Altium, Cadence/Allegro, KiCad) enough to open a design, inspect footprints and layout and mark it up.
• Experience standing up or scaling an in-house SMT line, or transitioning boards between internal and contract manufacturing.
• CAM/DFM tooling depth (Valor, CAM350, Allegro DFM) and experience building or maintaining automated DFM rule decks.
• Automated/functional test (ATE) experience; National Instruments/LabVIEW, Pico Technology, or equivalent.
• Robotics, automotive, aerospace, medical, or other precision/high-reliability electronics backgrounds.
• Lean/Six Sigma and SPC on an SMT line.
• 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 — 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.
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.

Own the design of Bolt subsystems from requirements through production release: concept, detailed design, analysis, drawings, and release
Run the trade studies that set your subsystem's architecture — structure and material choices, stiffness and fatigue targets, thermal and IP strategy, serviceability, cost — and close them with EE, software, and safety
Do the hands-on work: SolidWorks design, hand calcs and FEA, tolerance stackups, DFM for sheet metal, castings, machined parts, weldments, and plastics; build and test your own prototypes
Define and run subsystem tests (static and dynamic loads, vibration, drop, thermal, ingress) and feed results back into the design
Be the technical contact for your subsystem's fabricators; drive DFM/DFA feedback and support production issues
Lead design reviews for your subsystem and mentor junior engineers
You've shipped electromechanical hardware that lives in the real world — a mobile robot, vehicle, industrial machine, or similar — and you know the difference between a design that passes FEA and one that survives a year on a warehouse floor.

Mechanical Depth: Strong in structures and mechanisms — load paths, stiffness and fatigue, bearings and drivetrain components, fasteners and joints, tolerance analysis
Manufacturing: DFM for sheet metal, castings, machining, weldments, and injection molding; you know what each process costs and where it fails
Analysis: Hand calcs first, FEA when it earns its keep; you can size a part and defend the numbers

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.
About the role
Every robot we ship has to actually work — for years, in real factories, under real load. That comes down to what happens on the inspection bench before it ever leaves the building. As Senior Electronic Inspector, you're the final word on whether our PCBAs, cables, and harnesses meet the bar, and you're the person other inspectors turn to when the standard gets tricky.
What you'll do
- Inspect PCBA and electronic assemblies against IPC-A-610 acceptability criteria
- Inspect cables and wire harnesses against IPC/WHMA-A-620
- Lead First Article Inspections for electronic assemblies, setting the standard other inspections get measured against
- Mentor Receiving Inspectors on electronic inspection technique and how to actually apply IPC standards, not just cite them
- Own inspection records and traceability for everything electronic that comes across your bench
- Sit on the Material Review Board for electronic nonconformances and help drive real dispositions, not just paperwork
- Review electronic assembly drawings early and flag inspectability issues to NPI and Engineering before they become production problems
- Support 6S and FOD programs in the electronics QC area — FOD control especially, since a stray piece of debris in the wrong assembly is not a small mistake
What you'll bring
- 5+ years of electronic inspection experience in a manufacturing QC environment
- Current IPC-A-610 CIS or CIT certification
- Current IPC/WHMA-A-620 CIS or CIT certification
- Solid ESD knowledge and hands-on experience running or supporting an ESD program
- Ability to read schematics and electronic assembly drawings fluently, not just reference them
Nice to have
- Experience with industrial robotics control electronics, motor drives, or sensor systems
- Hands-on experience with microscopy and other visual inspection equipment
Compensation and Benefits

About the role
Fabricators across the country can't hire enough welders, and you know it better than most, because you've run a torch yourself. As our Welding Sales Manager, you'll show shops what cobot welding does for their throughput, quality, and people, and you'll own the national welding number. Welding is one of our fastest-growing applications, and you'll be the person who helps it grow even faster.
📍 Location
This role is remote within the United States, and we prefer candidates in NYC metro, North Carolina, California, Illinois or Texas. Expect to travel frequently to customer sites, regional teams, trade shows, and partners (~50% domestic travel).
What you'll do
- Own the welding number. You carry the national quota for welding systems and revenue across direct and partner sales. You build and manage the welding pipeline and forecast with each region, and you measure success by installed, producing systems, not just bookings.
- Partner with Regional Sales Managers. You co-sell welding opportunities with RSMs in every territory, from discovery through close. That means welding-specific discovery, part and joint reviews, and ROI conversations with fabricators. You'll join customer site visits, demos, and weld trials alongside our Welding Applications Engineers, and you'll raise the welding knowledge of the broader sales team through training, deal reviews, and ride-alongs.
- Sell direct MIG welding systems. You help shops evaluate cobot MIG welding against their part mix, volumes, and labor constraints, and you lead the proposals, pricing, and negotiation on welding deals.
- Build the partner channel. You recruit and manage gas and welding distributors as a lead source for Standard Bots welding. You also support partner-built solutions, such as laser welding cells, from the first conversation to repeatable sales.
- Be the voice of the welding customer. You bring field feedback on ease of use, features, and competitive gaps to the welding product team, and you represent Standard Bots at welding and fabrication trade shows and industry events.
What you'll bring
- Hands-on welding experience. You've laid beads and you know what a good weld looks like. MIG is required; TIG or laser is a plus.
- 5+ years in welding sales or welding applications, ideally robotic or automated welding.
- A track record of closing capital equipment deals with manufacturers and fabricators.
- Comfort working as an individual contributor who leads through influence across regional sales teams.
- Willingness to travel frequently to customer sites, trade shows, and partner meetings.
Nice to have
- Experience with a welding OEM, welding distributor, or robotic welding integrator.
- Existing relationships with gas and welding distributors.
- AWS certification (CW, CWI, or similar).
- Experience building or managing a channel partner program.
Compensation and Benefits
The on target earnings (OTE) range for this role is $190,000 - $225,000, 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.

Our AI-powered platform enables robots to tackle unprecedented challenges through an intuitive instruction interface, bringing the power of software automation to physical spaces.
We're building Bolt, a mobile manipulation platform: an autonomous mobile base carrying our robot arms. We're looking for a Senior Staff Mechanical Engineer to lead the mechanical design of that platform — chassis, drivetrain, battery packaging, control box, and the structure that ties the arms to the base — from concept through a certified fleet. Reporting to the hardware lead, you will set the mechanical architecture, own the hardest design problems yourself, and guide the mechanical engineers through prototype builds, test, and production release.
This is an on-site role based at our new Boston-area office, where Bolt is designed, built, and tested, with some flexibility on days in the office once you're up to speed. On-site you'll have a build area, electronics lab, test floor, and production robots steps from your desk.
Own the mechanical architecture of the Bolt platform: chassis and frame, drivetrain and suspension, battery and power-electronics packaging, control box, and arm-to-base interface
Lead concept trade studies (payload, center of gravity and tip stability, drive configuration, battery capacity, serviceability, cost) and drive decisions to closure with software, EE, safety, and product
Do the hands-on, technically deep work: detailed design in SolidWorks, load cases and hand calcs, FEA, tolerance stackups, DFM for sheet metal, castings, machined parts, and weldments
Plan and run prototype builds and the test program that proves durability, stability, and performance ahead of safety certification
Guide and mentor the mechanical engineers on Bolt; run mechanical design reviews and set standards for drawings, analysis, and release
Partner with Functional Safety on the mechanical aspects of certification (ISO 3691-4 / ANSI R15.08, ISO 10218) and with manufacturing on build and service strategy
You've taken a mobile robot or comparable electromechanical vehicle from a blank page to production and know where the hard problems hide: stability under dynamic loads, battery packaging, thermal and IP enclosures, cabling and service access, and the cost that creeps in with every bracket. You lead by doing the design work alongside the team, not by delegating it. Our ideal candidate expects to spend roughly 60% of their time on design and analysis and 40% on mentoring, planning, collaboration, builds, and test.
Experience: Bachelor's or graduate degree in Mechanical Engineering (or related) and 10+ years of product design, including a mobile robot, AMR/AGV, or similar electromechanical vehicle shipped at scale
Mechanical Depth: Mastery of structures and mechanisms — load path design, fatigue, stiffness, bearings and drivetrain components, sheet metal and casting design, tolerance analysis
Analysis: Hand calcs first, FEA when it earns its keep; you can size a frame, a wheel module, or a battery mount and defend the numbers
Tool Fluency: Expert in SolidWorks (parts, large assemblies, drawings, simulation) and comfortable with PDM/PLM release processes
Leadership: You have led engineers through an NPI cycle and made them better; you give direct, specific design feedback
Clarity of Communication: Clear design documentation, crisp trade studies, and design reviews that move decisions
Impact Driven: A reliable, manufacturable robot that ships beats an elegant one that never leaves the lab
Excelling in Ambitious Environments: You thrive in a fast-moving team with changing requirements and tight timelines
AMR safety certification experience (ISO 3691-4, ANSI/RIA R15.08, ISO 13849)
Battery pack mechanical design, thermal management, and IP-rated enclosures
Experience designing for low-volume to mid-volume production (hundreds to thousands per year) and for field service

The company makes AI-native robots anyone can buy and deploy, with customers ranging from family-owned machine shops to the Fortune 500.

*We're hiring a Lead, but if you're a strong functional safety engineer at Senior, Staff or Principal level, we still want to hear from you. We'll level the role and the offer to the person.
If you want a mature process to run, this isn't the role. If you want to build the safety organization behind the best cobot in the world, with the authority to do it, read on.
Standard Bots arms work right next to people, installed by customers who may have never set up a robot before, with no cage and no integrator's risk assessment to lean on. The robot has to be safe by design, and you'll be the one who proves it.
We want to build the best collaborative robot in the world, and that's impossible without building the safest one: a robot anyone can put next to their people on day one and trust. Most of the industry treats safety as paperwork at the end. We want it to be the thing our robots are known for — designed in from the first sketch and proven on real hardware.
Until now, safety has lived inside our hardware, firmware and test teams, like it does at most young companies that ship. That got our first robots out the door. It won't carry what's next: volume growing fast, several new products in development, and AI changing how robots are taught. So we're pulling safety into one strong team with its own mandate — and that team needs a leader.
Glen Cove, New York, is where our robots are built and tested and where the team's center of gravity sits, so this role requires 5 days/week onsite.
The safety case. You own it across our products — analysis, architecture, and the certification plan that gets each robot through third-party assessment.
The relationship with assessors. You're our technical voice toward notified bodies and NRTLs, and you're the one in the room defending the argument.
Verification on real robots. Every safety function gets tested on hardware you trust, fault injection included. You stay hands-on — this is not a reviewing job.
The team. You hire and lead the functional safety engineers who join after you, starting with one who leans electronics and controls and one who leans software.
Safety in the design, not at the gate. You report to the Head of System Architecture and work daily with hardware, embedded firmware and test. Safety sits in design reviews from the first sketch.
You've owned a safety case for a shipping robot and defended it to an external assessor.
Every safety function has a verification on real hardware that you trust, including fault injection.
Your decisions are in the safety architecture of our next generation of arms.
Hardware and firmware engineers come to you early, because it saves them time.
You've built a team that runs without you in the room, and set how Standard Bots works on safety.
You've taken collaborative robots, or machinery of similar complexity, through third-party safety assessment — and you can tell us what went wrong.
You work fluently in ISO 10218-1 and -2, ISO 13849-1 and -2, ISO 12100 and IEC 61508, and you have an opinion on the 2025 revision of ISO 10218.
You can read a schematic and a firmware architecture well enough to challenge the engineers who wrote them.
You know the full toolkit (FMEA, FTA, HAZOP, STPA, SISTEMA) and which one to reach for.
You'd rather be on the test floor with a robot and a force gauge than in a document review.
You know the difference between what the standard requires and what actually makes the robot safe, and you deliver both.
For the Lead seat: you've led or mentored safety engineers, or you're ready to build a team for the first time.
You don't need to tick every box. If you're close — at any level — apply anyway. We'd rather meet you.
Nice to have
You've worked on the assessor side, at a notified body or NRTL.
You know mobile manipulators and AMRs: ANSI/RIA R15.08, ISO 3691-4.
You've built or specified a safety controller rather than bought one.
You've shipped at a startup and liked it.
The salary range for this role is $170,000 - $230,000, 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.
