Company Overview 

Cosmic Robotics is a robotics startup developing autonomous construction technologies to accelerate Earth’s transition to renewable infrastructure and to expand humanity beyond Earth. The mission starts with the development of autonomous construction robots which will help install the 600 million solar panels planned to be installed on utility-scale solar farms by 2030 in the United States. Cosmic-1 is a fully autonomous outdoor construction robot capable of navigating solar construction sites and installing solar panels at over 10x faster rates than current methods, a critical technology needed to achieve the US’s aggressive renewable energy goals. 

 

About the Role 

Cosmic Robotics is seeking founding engineers to join our team of ex-NASA, SpaceX, Autodesk, Built Robotics, and Relativity Space founders in building the world’s most advanced outdoor robots and a company that will transform the construction industry.  

 

The ideal candidate will be a self-starter who thrives in ambiguity, is comfortable working in both an office setting and in the field, and is excited to build the future of humanity.

  • Writing, deploying, and testing robotics software 
  • Ownership of the technical direction of the subsystem 
  • Developing hardware or working with hardware engineers to build elegant integrated solutions 
  • Regularly working with co-founders in setting milestones and demos, managing resources, and planning product and technical roadmaps 

-- Travel to customer sites to deploy robots in the field
