Consumer Physical AI (stealth, robotics) | Mechatronics Engineer, AI Engineer | California / REMOTE (US) | Full-time

Early-stage startup building a robot for the home, on real hardware with ROS 2. You'd be one of the first engineers.

Mechatronics Engineer: actuators, motor control, embedded firmware, fast prototyping on a multi-axis arm.

AI Engineer: perception and calibration on physical hardware, deploying models to on-device compute.

has anyone tried different approaches to this?

we have action chunking in robotics for the same reason so VLAs can analyze faster and come to actions, the latency and inference are both slow so many steps need to come together for this to happen correctly

I am hiring and received this pfd with hidden text, claude flagged it and I was so confused what is going on, so I printed all text in my notes app and I realized resume had hidden text white font on white background, so only AI could see and read

I was impressed the model picked it up and flagged system manipulations

Geometry could be understood today with the model but what also really matters is the sensing, friction, mass how smooth the subjects are, dexterity is a very difficult problem so solve, not sure how simulations could handle such factors

the difficult part for the elderly is how to put it on, the product assumes always someone helps with it, also the weight itself could be a safety hazard
