Receiving Inspector
About The Position
We are a fast-growing robotics startup building next-generation automated systems that solve real-world problems. Our hardware, software, and AI teams work together to push the boundaries of what robots can do in industrial environments. As we scale production, we’re looking for a detail-oriented, motivated Receiving Inspector to help ensure every component that enters our facility meets the highest quality standards. As an entry-level Receiving Inspector, you will be responsible for inspecting, verifying, and documenting incoming materials, components, and assemblies used in our robotic systems. You’ll work closely with our supply chain, hardware engineering, and manufacturing teams to make sure we only accept parts that meet specification. This is a hands-on role well-suited for someone who is organized, quality-focused, and excited to help build complex hardware from the ground up.
