Matic, Menlo Park, CA
As a Robotics Reliability Engineer, you own reliability across our subsystems, especially motors, mechanisms, and electronics, from the drawing board all the way into customers’ homes. The role has two halves, and you live in both.
Before launch, you are our design-for-reliability conscience. You partner with design engineers to predict how a part or subsystem could fail, run DFMEA to map those failure modes, and define how we prove them out: which tests, accelerated how, for how long, and with how many samples. You set the reliability targets and the plan to hit them, so problems get caught on the bench instead of in someone’s living room.
After launch, once robots are in real homes, the real data starts coming from every direction: support tickets, customers posting when something breaks, robots sent back for repair, and the motor and sensor telemetry customers consent to share. A robot returned for one problem is often broken in five other ways the customer never noticed, so you tear it down and find all of them. Your job is to see every way a robot is failing or could fail, keep track of all of it, and turn that signal into action: new tests and test setups where we need them, and clear input on which failure modes are under-prioritized and need engineering bandwidth.
Before the iPhone, consumers adopted several distinct devices; cell phones, PDAs, and portable music players each served a particular need. We believe in a similar progression for home robotics, starting with single-purpose robots and building iteratively toward more complex capabilities over time.
Base: $130,000 - $200,000 per annum.
Actual Compensation will depend on skills, experience and qualifications. Base Salary is one part of the total compensation package. The role is also eligible for equity through the company’s discretionary equity program, along with a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental and vision coverage access to a 401(k) plan.
Each year, 2.5 trillion hours are spent on household chores. At Matic, we’re on a mission to recapture that lost time, and we’re doing it by revolutionizing home robotics.
Our first product, also called Matic, is a Wall-E-esque floor cleaning robot. We've built what amounts to "full self-driving in the home” with real-time 3D mapping, adaptive path-tracking, and a precise semantic understanding of the home. Our breakthroughs in spatial AI allow Matic to work reliably in real homes, using only RGB cameras and neural networks running on-device.
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.
What happens in the home, stays in the home. Our robots are private by design, with all data processing performed by the robot itself, not in the cloud.
