Robotics Startup (STEALTH + YC S26)
Location: SF Bay Area (Palo Alto, CA)
Type: ONSITE
Compensation: $200–250k + 1–2% equity + benefits
About the Company
We are a new robotics company based in Palo Alto, California, building wearable robotic devices that improve the endurance of humans on foot.
Our first product is a lightweight, bilateral hip product that reduces the physical cost of carrying heavy loads over distance, allowing personnel to move farther, carry more, and arrive at the objective less fatigued and more effective. The company is early but already operating in the field, with a direct feedback loop in the most demanding conditions imaginable.
We are backed by Y Combinator and a group of leading deep-technology investors.
The Roles
We have recently moved to the Bay Area to grow the team and are hiring three lead engineers. You will own your product/domain and have full authority with no inherited design decisions and no one between you and the problem. What you build will be worn in weeks by real users.
We are looking for leads in the following areas:
- Mechanical: Structures, joints, actuator integration, and ruggedness.
- Firmware: Real-time motor control, sensor fusion, and embedded systems.
- Software: Device-to-cloud telemetry, test infrastructure, and user apps.
How to Apply
Shoot the founder a text at +1 857-327-3414 and they will tell you exactly what we are building.
