About the role
About Charge Robotics:
Charge Robotics's standard text
Charge Robotics is a Series A startup building robots that build solar farms.
Demand for new solar projects is booming (1 ⁄ 5 of all the solar that exists in the US was installed last year!), but today’s construction companies can’t keep up due to limited labor resources.
We thought this was insane, so we started working on robots to directly address this bottleneck and speed up the world’s transition to renewables.
Charge is a fast-moving company, which means constant opportunities for learning and growth. You’ll have a large impact on the direction of our company, and will be compensated accordingly.
We’re MIT-founded and backed by top generalist and climate tech investors, including Founders Fund, Energy Impact Partners, Lux Capital and Y Combinator (S21).

About the role:
As the Senior Robotics Integration Engineer at Charge Robotics, you'll be working full-stack on hardware and software integration, playing a direct role in deploying gigawatts of clean power generation.
What you'll be working on:
- Architecting, building, documenting, testing, and iterating on mechatronic systems for our robotic factory
- Integrating and commissioning sensors, actuators, control systems, and industrial automation hardware (actuators, motors, hydraulic systems, robot arms)
- Optimizing the interface between mechanical, electrical, and software components to ensure reliability and safety in factory and field deployments
You:
- Have strong experience in mechatronics, robotics integration, or automation engineering, with hands-on skills in both hardware and software
- Are proficient in at least one programming language (we use a lot of Python) and are comfortable reading electrical schematics and mechanical drawings
- Know how to instrument, test, and validate complex electromechanical systems as a member of a team, including writing documentation, using version control, and performing systematic debugging
- Have worked in a fast-paced startup environment before, and loved it
- Are excited to work with (and occasionally safely climb into) giant robots
- Have excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Are based in or can relocate to the SF Bay Area, and able to work 4-5 days/week from our San Leandro HQ
- Are open to ~10% travel to field (solar construction sites) to work directly with our product in its deployment environment
- Gain satisfaction from personally playing a part in mitigating climate change
- Are excited to see your work deployed onto actual solar farms!
It'd also be nice if you:
- Have experience working with industrial robot arms, motion planning, PLCs, or automated manufacturing systems
- Have a 4-year degree in mechatronics, robotics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or a related field
- Gain satisfaction from personally playing a part in mitigating climate change
