Job Description
Company Overview
Reflex Robotics is building affordable $10k) humanoid robots to automate dangerous and repetitive tasks in manufacturing / logistics. We envision a future where everyone has their own RobotGPT that can do the boring stuff and help them focus on more fulfilling work.
We are a twoyear old startup backed by Khosla Ventures with $60m/year of revenue lined up pending successful pilots with ecommerce warehouses in 2024.
How does it work
Our robots are designed & built inhouse by an engineering team that led development of the Stretch robot at Boston Dynamics & key parts of the Model SXY production line at Tesla. Reflex robots are highperformance lowinertia and designed for lowcost manufacturing.
Weve also built a teleoperation system by which someone far away can basically play a video game and control the robots in realtime. This lets us do a LOT of tasks on day one increase autonomy over time and still have remote operators as needed to ensure that our robots dont make mistakes.
Key company beliefs
Having high quality proprietary data is the key to building generational AI companies. Tesla FSD has 1B miles of driver data & ChatGPT has the whole internet but there is no good dataset in robotics.
It is pointless to focus on overly academic things (e.g. maximal torque density 0.1mm actuator precision getting bipedal robots to walk) instead of actual usefulness to customers.
Human prosperity increases superlinearly with increased automation. Freedom from dull & repetitive tasks allows us to focus on more rewarding pursuits.
An insane work ethic is necessary for outsized success.
What were looking for
We are looking for generalist computer vision engineers to join our team! Were still under ten people so theres a ton of opportunity for high equity & high product ownership. You should strongly consider applying if:
Youve solved tough problems which interface with realworld hardware e.g. radarbased proportional navigation to intercept enemy drones 60Hz visualinertial odometry for cars
You like to understand the entire system youre working with e.g. the ADCs on a camera & the sensorfusion firmware on your IMUs are not a black box to you
You pride yourself on writing robust code that others can trust for years
We primarily use C with some Python for prototyping. We dont use ROS.
Youd be joining at a time when theres working hardware working remoteoperation software and a qualified set of pilot customers the company is derisked enough to see the hazy outlines of success but not so large that theres no remaining upside.
Come join us!
