Senior Robotics Software Engineer
About The Position
Charge Robotics is a Series A startup building robots that build solar farms. Demand for new solar projects is booming, but today’s construction companies can’t keep up due to limited labor resources. Charge Robotics is 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). If you’re excited to work on interesting problems with direct climate impact, you’re going to fit right in!
