Job Details

Overview

Matic is bringing families out of the stone age of remarkably dumb disc home robots. Humanity spends ~2.5 trillion hours annually on home chores, worth $25 trillion in wasted economic value. We are on a mission to recapture this time and value with fully autonomous, useful, elegant, and affordable Wall-E-esque home robots that families love and cannot fathom their lives without. 


Our approach
In 2017, we observed 200+ self-driving car startups and an equal number of industrial robotics startups, but the home autonomy and robotics space had been dramatically overlooked. While AI is becoming more ubiquitous, families are still stuck spending dozens of hours per week on repetitive household chores.

At Matic, we're leveraging advanced technology to address this problem. We've started by reimagining our first product in fully autonomous floor-cleaning robots. Just like consumers adopted Cell Phones, then PDAs, then iPods and Blackberries before adopting the iPhone to replace all, we believe that consumers will adopt single-purpose, elegant, and affordable robots that belong and become part of their homes first before we get one-robot-to-rule all chores.

Our goal is to continue automating other forms of household labor, shipping useful, affordable, and privacy-first robots to our users that solve real problems while building iteratively toward more complex tasks and capabilities over time.

Privacy first

Our robots are also private by design, with all the computes on the edge device. We believe that families shouldn't have to jeopardize their privacy just to get some help with the constant drudgery of home chores.

Who we are
We are a consumer robotics product company solving real customer problems. We start with a problem, think of an elegant solution in the form of robots, and conduct necessary research to build products that just work. We believe families want solutions to their problems, and AI & robots enable us to solve them.

Who we are NOT
We are NOT a Robotics Foundation Model research lab, a humanoid builder, or a robotics software platform company. We build fully autonomous, useful, elegant, and affordable Wall-E-esque robotic products that kids, pets, and families love!

About the role

What you'll do

  • As a robotics reliability engineer on the team, you will be responsible for driving all the reliability requirements across different sub-systems.

  • Work with design engineers to understand the physics of failure and apply them to designing accelerated test methods to represent field behaviors

  • Oversee the design and build of test setups for different loading scenarios – fatigue, vibration and shock, temperature and humidity, etc.

  • Perform root cause failure analysis at different stages of testing

  • Prepare concise and detailed test plans, driving test execution, analyzing test reports and presenting results to all relevant stakeholders

  • Create and manage fleet analytics pipelines to systematically identify and eliminate field failures

  • Lead design initiatives that require particularly detailed reliability oriented testing and analysis

  • Strengthen DFR practices while acting in a cross disciplinary fashion spanning across all functions of mechanical, electrical and software engineering

What we look for

  • Technical degree in mechanical engineering or equivalent

  • 2-5 years of work experience in reliability engineering position

  • Track record of defining reliability targets and test plans for consumer electronic products

  • Experience driving the design of test setups for reliability testing

  • Statistical experience such as Weibull++ or familiarity with different accelerated test models

  • Solid understanding of Design of Experiments (DOE) and Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA)

  • Comfort with fast-paced, startup atmosphere -- you don’t shy away from the hard work

  • High level of maturity, ownership, and pride in your work

We'd love to hear from you if...

  • You are genuinely motivated to help those around you

  • You are passionate about learning outside of your normal comfort zones

  • You love diagnosing complex technical issues

  • You are excited to do great work
