Las Vegas, NV Romotive Inc. http://romotive.com/

Seeking EE's with manufacturing experience and iOS devs

At Romotive, we build smartphone robots that can be controlled from any smart device anywhere in the world. Because software for Romo is distributed through the Apple App Store and the Android Market, our users can download new behaviors and personalities for their robots at the click of a button. We provide continuous support for our dedicated developers through the Romotive SDK, allowing anyone to build and distribute new apps for Romo.

We're a venture-backed company that counts Stanford University, Tony Hsieh, David Cohen, David Tisch, Lerer Ventures, and PivotNorth Capital amongst its investor team. We've built thousands of robots in the last few months (in our apartment), and we're setting up distribution agreements with retailers across the US to sell 100,000 robots before Christmas of 2012. The team is comprised of Harvard students, YC founders, iRobot alumni, etc. We're currently located in Las Vegas as part of Tony Hsieh's investment fund, but spend a great deal of our time in Palo Alto / SF.

We're looking for funny and brilliant people who design and build awesome hardware and software. We're looking for engineers, designers, and people who love robots. We don't care if you have awesome job offers from every bank and consultancy on the planet. If you match the above description, reach out to us and let us show you why you want to be building robots instead.

Reach out to us at [email protected]. We want to meet you.
