Matic Robots Get AI-powered advice on this job and more exclusive features. Overview
Matic is bringing families out of the stone age of remarkably dumb disc home robots. Humanity spends ~2.5 trillion hours annually on home chores, worth $25 trillion in wasted economic value. We are on a mission to recapture this time and value with fully autonomous, useful, elegant, and affordable Wall-E-esque home robots that families love and cannot fathom their lives without. Overview
Matic is bringing families out of the stone age of remarkably dumb disc home robots. Humanity spends ~2.5 trillion hours annually on home chores, worth $25 trillion in wasted economic value. We are on a mission to recapture this time and value with fully autonomous, useful, elegant, and affordable Wall-E-esque home robots that families love and cannot fathom their lives without.
Our approach
In 2017, we observed 200+ self-driving car startups and an equal number of industrial robotics startups, but the home autonomy and robotics space had been dramatically overlooked. While AI is becoming more ubiquitous, families are still stuck spending dozens of hours per week on repetitive household chores.
At Matic, we're leveraging advanced technology to address this problem. We've started by reimagining our first product in fully autonomous floor-cleaning robots. Just like consumers adopted Cell Phones, then PDAs, then iPods and Blackberries before adopting the iPhone to replace all, we believe that consumers will adopt single-purpose, elegant, and affordable robots that belong and become part of their homes first before we get one-robot-to-rule all chores.
Our goal is to continue automating other forms of household labor, shipping useful, affordable, and privacy-first robots to our users that solve real problems while building iteratively toward more complex tasks and capabilities over time.
Privacy first
Our robots are also private by design, with all the computes on the edge device. We believe that families shouldn't have to jeopardize their privacy just to get some help with the constant drudgery of home chores.
Who We Are
We are a consumer robotics product company
solving real customer problems. We start with a problem, think of an elegant solution in the form of robots, and conduct necessary research to build products that just work. We believe families want solutions to their problems, and AI & robots enable us to solve them.
Who We Are NOT
We are NOT a Robotics Foundation Model research lab, a humanoid builder, or a robotics software platform company. We build fully autonomous, useful, elegant, and affordable Wall-E-esque robotic products that kids, pets, and families love!
About The Role
We're looking for a motivated perception engineer to join us on the ground floor, with a runway for huge and immediate impact.
What You'll Do
Translate open-ended, real-world problems into well-defined machine learning problems Design, build, and code computer vision-based algorithms Build novel neural network architectures Design and implement robust 3D geometry-based vision algorithms Build scalable machine learning infrastructure to train on large datasets and simultaneously be reproducible Analyze results, continuously update and improve accuracy & speed of various algorithms Deploy algorithms & machine learning pipelines at scale on the edge devices with limited compute without sacrificing performance Work to enable Level 5 autonomy in consumer robotics Cross-collaborate with Hardware, Electrical, and Systems teams to bring product vision to life
What We Look For
Robust machine learning background in computer vision and perceptual tasks, including 3D perception, multi-class object detection, 3D maps, and advanced robotics controls Track record of product-focused research applied to real-world applications Fluency with Rust (or C++) and Python (PyTorch or similar tools) Ability to write clean, reliable code that is easily maintained
We'd love to hear from you if...
You are genuinely motivated to help those around you You are passionate about learning outside of your normal comfort zones You love diagnosing complex technical issues You are excited to do great work
Our team
Matic is a tight-knit and collaborative team, singularly focused on building products our customers will cherish. We’re ultra-hardworking people committed to solving tough problems that save our precious time and energy.
At Matic, we're eager to take risks and test convention. We love diving headfirst into hard problems — even if it means some failures along the way. We work smart, hard, and long (in that order), chasing innovation and human impact. We highly value individual ownership and take meticulous pride in the work we do, knowing our efforts affect both one another and our customers.
Those who value curiosity and learning and who don’t shy away from hard problems thrive at Matic. If you are genuinely committed to innovation and improving the lives of others, we’d love to hear from you.
Apply
If you're feeling excited about this opportunity at Matic, then apply, even if you don't feel that you meet every single requirement. We're eager to meet people who are keen to learn and are passionate about what Matic is building. We want to hear how you can contribute to our team in a variety of ways – not just the above boxes.
