Lead Hardware Automation Engineer

Responsibilities

• You will lead the development of hardware automation systems that combine mechanical movement, electronics, software control, robotics, and cloud-connected product experiences. You will work across concept development, prototyping, testing, commissioning, documentation, and production readiness.
• A major part of the role will involve robotic arm control, including movement planning, repeatability, safety, calibration, end-effector integration, and coordination with digital systems. You will help design automation experiences that feel smooth, premium, reliable, and intentional.
• You will also work with PLCs, sensors, motors, controllers, relays, IO systems, embedded boards, custom fixtures, and prototype hardware. You should be able to move between structured industrial automation thinking and inventive hands-on problem solving.

Requirements

• We are looking for someone with strong practical experience in automation, robotics, controls, and hardware prototyping. You should be comfortable working with PLCs and industrial control systems, while also having real DIY maker experience building functional prototypes from the ground up.
• You should have experience with robotic arm controls and be able to think clearly about motion, precision, reliability, safety, and integration with software systems.
• Ideal Traits
• You are hands-on, self-directed, commercially aware, and comfortable in a start-up environment where priorities evolve quickly. You like building things, testing them, breaking them, improving them, and making them reliable enough for real-world use.
• You do not need to know every platform on day one. You do need to learn quickly, make sound decisions, communicate clearly, and consistently deliver work that moves the company forward.
• Why This Role Matters
