The posting

The role

We are gathering expressions of interest for a future Mechatronics and Prototyping Engineer position at Imitation Machines. While we are not actively hiring for this role yet, but we anticipate the need for mechatronics and EE expertise in the future and want to collect and keep on file information of qualified and interested candidates.

When the position becomes available, the successful candidate will support both in-house and on-site robot integration, set up hardware experiments, and maintain our in-house fleet of robotic units. While Imitation Machines is a software-first company, our technology is developed, tested, and deployed on real physical robots.

If you're interested in joining our team when this position opens, we encourage you to submit your details. We'll reach out as our plans solidify and when we're ready to begin the formal hiring process.

About Imitation Machines

Imitation Machines has an ambitious goal of bringing the latest advances in Imitation and Reinforcement Learning, Robotics and AI into an integrated platform that enables anyone in the world to create robot new and custom behaviours.

Imagine the state of future technology where anyone can teach any robot, by demonstration, to solve any task they need, and create intelligent robotic workforce that meets unique needs across industries, robot forms, and environments. We want this future to happen. We see that all the necessary technological prerequisites are in place, and we're building that future. The readiness of reinforcement learning, imitation learning, and robot hardware has reached a tipping point, positioning Imitation Machines to transform how robot behaviours are created. Rather than relying on conventional programming, we can radically accelerate the process and start building systems where robots are taught by human teachers through demonstration.

We're taking a practice-first approach: real-world robot deployments with our industry partners guide our research and development. By working directly with industries, robot developers, and system integrators, we position ourselves at the frontier of practical imitation learning—tackling the challenges that emerge when these technologies meet real applications. This makes us early integrators of imitation learning in production environments, and it's how we're paving the way for broader adoption of robotic automation.

Imitation Machines is a pre-seed funded startup moving quickly toward our next milestone. We're laser-focused on proving our vision and building a team of machines learning and robotics engineers who want to push the boundaries of what's possible in robot learning.

What we’re looking for

  • Background in mechatronics, robotics, mechanical engineering, or a related field
  • Hands-on experience with robot hardware assembly, integration, and troubleshooting
  • Proficiency in electromechanical systems
  • Comfortable with rapid prototyping — 3D printing, laser cutting, etc.
  • Familiarity with microcontrollers and embedded systems
  • Experience working with robot middleware like ROS
  • Ability to design and interpret mechanical CAD
  • Software development skills for hardware-software integration
  • A practical, hands-on mindset

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.
