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
