Principal Robotics Hardware Engineer

In this role, you will take on challenges in TELEXISTENCE's robot development where the technical approach or feasibility is not yet clear, and drive them to resolution yourself. Grounded in robot hardware development, you will solve problems across all disciplines, not only from the mechanical, electrical, and software perspectives. As a Principal, you are expected to own the full path to solving the problems that block development: defining what needs to be solved, building hypotheses from first principles, exploring approaches, prototyping and experimenting, and feeding the results into the design. Even when no established solution exists, you will find a path to realization through validation, and you will be responsible for delivering hardware that actually works and can be used on an ongoing basis. You will also support engineers in each specialized area on the technical side, and lead both the resolution of critical issues that go beyond individual teams and the technical decision-making for the robot system as a whole. You will also do hands-on design, assembly, and experiments yourself.
