Matic
Matic is revolutionizing home robotics by building the world's first truly autonomous robots. We're on a mission to recapture the 2.5 trillion hours annually spent on home chores, worth $25 trillion in wasted economic value, with fully autonomous, useful, elegant, and affordable robots that families love.
Our first product, Matic, is a Wall-E-esque floor cleaning robot that families love and cannot fathom their lives without. We've built what amounts to "self-driving for homes" - precise 3D mapping, real-time SLAM, and semantic understanding that works reliably in real homes, all achieved through breakthrough spatial AI technology using only RGB cameras and neural networks with all processing on-device for complete privacy.
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.
Our approach In 2017, we observed 200+ self-driving car startups and an equal number of industrial robotics startups, but the home robotics space had been dramatically overlooked. While AI is becoming ubiquitous, families are still stuck spending dozens of hours per week on repetitive household chores.
Just like consumers adopted cell phones, then PDAs, then iPods before adopting the iPhone to replace them all, we believe consumers will adopt single-purpose, elegant robots first before getting one-robot-to-rule-all-chores. Our goal is to continue automating household labor, shipping useful, affordable, privacy-first robots while building iteratively toward more complex capabilities over time.
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!
How we behave 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 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.
About the role
We're looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer to join us on the ground floor, with runway for huge and immediate impact.
What you'll do
Work on end-to-end design and manufacturing of parts and sub-assemblies Fabricate prototypes, iterate rapidly, advance your concepts through to high volume production Develop specifications and accelerated test plans to validate the product for its determined lifetime Component-level testing for performance, durability, reliability, and variability Complete and release component designs and documentation, including 2D drawings Collaborate with a multi-disciplinary team of subject matter experts to create a cohesive and balanced product Establish relationships with vendors, suppliers, and CMs in a startup environment What we look for
Technical degree in mechanical engineering or equivalent 2 - 5 years of professional mechanical design engineering experience on a product (preferably B to C) that is shipping in high volume Understanding of materials and high-volume manufacturing methods such as Injection Molding Proficiency in using Solidworks modeling 3D CAD design software Comfort with PDM, PLM and Engineering Change Management and Quality Management systems Knowledge of GD&T, finite element analysis and design for reliability concepts Comfort with fast-paced, startup atmosphere -- you don't shy away from the hard work High level of maturity, ownership, and pride in your work 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
