At Vassar Robotics, we're revolutionizing robotics by building ultra-affordable robot arms, with our base model starting at just $220, and mobile robotic platforms designed specifically for homes and small businesses. Our robots start by being teleoperated, ensuring immediate usability, and can seamlessly transition to leveraging advanced robot foundation models within just a few weeks for handling simple, repetitive tasks autonomously.
We are already actively shipping products via UPS (yes, our shipping involves actual boxes!) and expanding our teleoperator network to support a growing community of users. Joining Vassar Robotics means being part of a hardcore team dedicated to making robotic automation accessible to everyone.
oin us in developing cutting-edge mechanical and electrical systems for robots that are already reaching customers worldwide. We're a fast-moving, pretty hardcore team that values practical skills and the ability to deliver tangible results over formal qualifications. If you're looking for a typical 9-to-5 job, this may not be the right fit. You can start this week / next week.
We rapidly iterate our designs using FDM, SLA, and SLS processes for structural parts. For software, we primarily use Onshape for CAD modeling and KiCad for PCB design.
We are primarily looking for full-time employees but remain open to contracting and internship opportunities.
When applying, please share pictures or videos highlighting your past projects to demonstrate your hands-on experience.
