Senior Technical Recruiter, Robotics and Hardware
About The Position
Treeswift is looking for a Senior Recruiter to join our Recruiting team and own hiring for our Hardware and Robotics organization as we scale. You'll partner directly with our Head of Hardware to build the team designing and deploying the sensor systems at the core of our product. You'll recruit across electrical engineering, embedded systems, firmware, mechanical engineering, robotics, sensor integration, perception, systems engineering, manufacturing engineering, and field robotics. This is a senior individual contributor role built around one core strength: you know the hardtech ecosystem inside and out, and you know how to get people who weren't looking to consider Treeswift. That instinct is what will set the bar for how we attract this high-impact talent as the team grows.
Requirements
- 6+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience across hardware and robotics
- In-house experience at a high-growth hardware or robotics startup preferred; agency background welcome if paired with in-house experience
- Ability to hold your own in conversations with hardware and robotics leaders about what "great" looks like for a given role
- Strong sourcer who doesn't wait for inbound. You know how to find and engage hardware and robotics talent who aren't actively looking, including in niche or specialized technical communities
- Ability to translate complex technical requirements into compelling candidate experiences.
- Experience working in fast-moving environments where priorities shift and processes are still being built
- Knowledge of where exceptional hardware engineers work, and understanding which robotics companies produce strong systems engineers.
- Ability to map organizations, identify breakout talent, and recruit people before they're actively looking.
- Ability to speak to the talent, technical approach, and trajectory of companies like Skydio, Anduril, Zipline, Figure, Dexterity, Boston Dynamics, Shield AI, Tesla Optimus, Rivian, Amazon Robotics, and Meta Reality Labs.
Responsibilities
- Own full-cycle recruiting for Hardware and Robotics searches from role scoping and sourcing strategy through close
- Partner closely with hiring managers to deeply understand technical requirements, calibrate on candidates, and move searches forward with speed and clarity
- Build proactive candidate pipelines through LinkedIn, referrals, technical communities, and other creative sourcing channels for hard-to-find hardware and robotics talent - this is not just a reactive inbound role
- Flex into embedded searches within engineering as priorities shift or the business.
- Drive an excellent candidate experience from first touch through offer - keeping candidates engaged, informed, and excited about Treeswift
- Contribute to how we evolve our recruiting practices: interview structure, evaluation frameworks, offer strategy, and beyond
- Represent Treeswift's brand and mission to every candidate you interact with and be able to sell the Hardware vision
Benefits
- Competitive salary and equity package
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your eligible dependents
