Charge Robotics | Mechanical Engineer | Full-time | Onsite | SF Bay Area
Hi HN! We’re a YC-backed startup building robots that build large-scale solar farms. It turns out that construction companies literally can't build solar fast enough, so what we're doing is a crucial part of switching the grid over to renewable generation. We're funded and are looking to bring a talented mechanical engineer onto our small team. Check out our Launch HN for more info: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30780455
You’ll be a key contributor, helping bring our prototype system to life: an automated, portable robotic factory that fits inside a shipping container.
Our founding team has experience growing companies and building robots like this. One of our founders was the second employee at a robotics startup that recently announced a $1.1B public offering.
Come work with us if you love:
* Fast-paced prototype development with hardware and software components
* Making a positive climate impact through your work
Charge Robotics' work looks pretty interesting and the solar farm construction industry is ripe for automation. Out of curiosity, what were the deciding factors to start with automating material handling? Would automating pile drive machines be easier and faster to market?
Most of the work of the CFS pile driver machine is already built, The addition of a RTK corrected GPS and a GPR unit it could save quite a bit leg work and hassle with refusals.
I do see how the material handling with reach forks and telehandlers could apply to the broader construction market. Curious to hear your thoughts.
