Member of Technical Staff, Hardware

About Baseline Robotics

Open source revolutionised how we write software, but its impact on robotics stays limited due to expensive hardware accessible only to well-funded labs. We run that hardware as shared infrastructure for the broader community, billed only for active station time. For a given task, policies are evaluated under similar conditions, giving researchers common ground for fair comparisons.

In this role you will

• Design each station’s mechanical and electrical layout, including arm mounts and cable routing.
• Integrate and calibrate the actuators, grippers, cameras, and sensors on each station.
• Trace faults to their mechanical, electrical, or assembly cause and fix them in the next build.

What we hope you’ll bring

• Experience building and debugging robot hardware.
• Fluency in CAD and experience with mechanical and electrical design.
• Experience designing for tolerances, calibration, and repeatability.

We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every qualification.

Details

• Location: Zurich, Switzerland, on-site 5 days a week.
• Total compensation: CHF 105,000 - 125,000.
• Every full-time hire receives stock options as part of the stated total compensation.

Deadline to apply: None. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
