Electrical Engineer (FT) - Automatic Tile Grouting Robots

Fabrica AI Full time Electrical Engineer - Invention of Automatic Tile Grouting Robots Fabrica AI is reinventing how robots are developed. Currently novel robots take 5-20 years. We are building a design automation platform to bring it down to a month, and have already demonstrated significant progress by developing tile grouting robots in record time. Robotics simulation and reinforcement learning has been advancing a lot making it 1000x cheaper to train robots compared to 5 years ago, and as Jensen Huang said at Nvidia GTC 2024, "the ChatGPT moment for robotics may be just around the corner." A couple other companies are building on the same paradigm shift but we are the only ones using it to automate hardware design, not just software. Building robots and a design automation platform together brings great synergy - the platform helps us develop robots faster than anyone else and the robots allow us to gather data and do experiments at scale. Data gathering can be done through partnerships with other robotics companies, but doing experiments is crucial for grounding the platform in reality and ensuring its usefulness. The grouting robots are already deploying daily at construction sites and bringing value to clients. We are currently negotiating sales worth around 500k USD. With manufacturing cost multiple times lower than companies using a traditional robotic arm, our robots have an ROI in weeks. Our robot is also small and simple to use, operating from a single button without the need to upload floorplans or do any complex setup. Soon we would be expanding into other simple and valuable robots for the construction industry. We’ve raised over 2.5m USD from Hoxton Ventures, Credo Ventures, our Professor from Cambridge University, Woh Hup, and the owner of BHCC (listed construction company). We’ve 2500sqft of space in Singapore where we have over 20 team members, and 1200sqft of space in Czechia where we have our software team. Your role would revolve around real-world industry deployments taking us from a TRL of 7 to 9. You may be remunerated with a combination of salary and share options. The following tracks are available: Core responsibilities: PCB, electronics design Working with both hobbyist and industrial microcontrollers, single board computers, motor drivers etc. Integrating motor systems of different types (DC, BLDC, with encoder feedback...), sensor modules etc. PCB design Embedded programming Possible additional responsibilities: Testing our robot on construction sites Managing external PCB production Harness design Overseeing a team doing all the above Requirements: Experience with electronics design and embedded software at at least one industrial level project Value the direct impact on the product and proximity to clients at a startup and the growth potential of a startup more than having a stable job at a reputable company Willing to work without a very well defined job scope and willing to adapt to changes week on week Ability to think of metrics to measure progress and deciding based on back on the envelope calculations Keenness to do more than is expected, impact driven, past side projects Excited about robotics and similar technical areas and exploring them in work and other projects Growth mindset driven Our development process is very iterative and agile. Thus your role/tasks is/are likely to evolve over time. You would play a significant part in deciding how your work would contribute to our overall goals. If you like this process, you’d be a good fit for us. Check out the link above for more information, and send your CV to careers@fabrica.ai #J-18808-Ljbffr
