Staff Hardware Engineer | Robotics | New York City | $225K–$275K + EquityA robotics system behaving properly in development is one thing. Getting it working reliably on a live manufacturing line is another. I’m working with an early-stage physical AI company in New York City already deploying robotic systems with a major defence prime. They are now hiring a Staff Hardware Engineer to take ownership of the hardware side of those deployments. You’ll work across the gap between engineering and the real production environment. That means: Deploying robotic hardware onto live manufacturing and defence production lines Owning hardware integration, commissioning and troubleshooting on site Working closely with machine learning engineers to get models performing reliably on physical systems Taking problems found in the field back into hardware design and reliability decisions Helping establish hardware engineering standards as the team grows This is a hands-on Staff-level role. You’ll be close to the hardware, the deployment environment and the problems that only appear once a system leaves development. They are looking for someone with senior robotics hardware experience and evidence of deploying physical systems into production or field environments. You should also be comfortable working across hardware and software, with practical experience around sensors, actuators and robotic platforms.
