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

Matic is hiring a motivated Embedded Linux Engineer to join us (pre-launch) on the ground floor, with runway for huge and immediate impact.

In this role, you'd be joining our Platform team, which works on a diverse set of problems, ranging from low-level driver and kernel development all the way up to interfacing with the complex perception algorithms running locally on the robot, with high performance expectations and very limited computes.

We're looking for someone with strong embedded Linux and C/C++ skills who's also eager to learn Rust. If you're driven by high levels of ownership and solving complex problems, we’d love to chat! You can check out our blog here: https://maticrobots.com/blog/why-rust-its-the-safe-choice/

What you'll do

  • Develop core device systems software and functionality from the ground up

  • Enable mechanical engineering and other teams by building a robust software stack that interacts with firmware, motors, sensors and other software agents

  • Work with both EE and software teams to ensure feature feasibility & functionality

  • Perform root cause analysis of system crashes and hardware failures

  • Identify bugs & bottlenecks to improve system performance

  • Develop and debug pipelines for data from cameras and other sensors

  • Be an integral member of our small software team

What we look for

  • >2 years of industry experience

  • Strong familiarity with userspace Linux programming and conventions & working knowledge of Linux kernel internals

  • Deep experience in multi-threaded C

  • Familiarity with a systems scripting language, such as Shell or Python

  • Knowledge of common communication protocols (e.g. USB, RS232, TCP/IP/HTTP)

  • Experience with working on C, or C++ microcontroller firmware is a big plus

  • Comfort with a 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

Our team

Matic is a tight-knit and collaborative team, singularly focused on building products our customers will cherish. We’re ultra-hardworking people committed to solving tough problems that save our precious time and energy.

At Matic, we're eager to take risks and test convention. We love diving headfirst into hard problems — even if it means some failures along the way. We work smart, hard, and long (in that order), chasing innovation and human impact. We highly value individual ownership and take meticulous pride in the work we do, knowing our efforts affect both one another and our customers.

Those who value curiosity and learning and who don’t shy away from hard problems thrive at Matic. If you are genuinely committed to innovation and improving the lives of others, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply

If you're feeling excited about this opportunity at Matic, then apply, even if you don't feel that you meet every single requirement. We're eager to meet people who are keen to learn and are passionate about what Matic is building. We want to hear how you can contribute to our team in a variety of ways – not just the above boxes.
