The posting

ABOUT CHARGE ROBOTICS:

Charge Robotics is a Series A startup building robots that build solar farms.

Demand for new solar projects is booming (1 ⁄ 5 of all the solar that exists in the US was installed last year!), but today’s construction companies can’t keep up due to limited labor resources.

We thought this was insane, so we started 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! Read more about Charge at the links below:

ABOUT THIS ROLE:

As the first in our manufacturing function, you’ll work closely with both internal teams (design engineers, supply chain, technicians) and external manufacturing partners (vendors, CMs, customers) to scale our solar farm construction technology from prototype to production. Your work will directly deploy gigawatts of clean electricity generation.

What you'll be working on:

- Taking the lead on building + scaling production of our state-of-the-art robotic systems that assemble solar farms in the field

- Collaborating with design engineers to ensure systems are manufacturable, cost-effective, and easy to assemble

- Developing and maintaining manufacturing documentation, drawings, and BOMs

- Supporting part qualification, incoming inspection, and supplier quality initiatives

- Making it faster and easier to build our robots and, in turn, accelerate the deployment of clean energy

You:

- Have 4-8 years of experience bringing complex electromechanical products from prototype to production — especially systems that include metal fabrication, rigging, and heavy machinery

- Understand how to read and create mechanical drawings and manufacturing documentation

- Have a strong ability to communicate clearly (written/verbal) with engineers, suppliers, technicians, and leadership

- Are based in or can relocate to the SF Bay Area, and able to work 4-5 days/week from our San Leandro HQ

- Are open to ~10% travel to field (solar construction sites) to work directly with our product in its deployment environment

- Are excited to see our robots deployed onto actual solar farms!

It'd also be nice if you:

- Have a degree in a related field

- Have used ION manufacturing software before

- Have experience sourcing and qualifying suppliers & contract manufacturers

- Are familiar with DFM, DFA, and/or GD&T principles

- Are excited to grow into a leadership role as we scale our systems and teams

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
