Expand human ambition in the physical world.

Critical infrastructure is constrained by labor shortages, hazardous working conditions, and operational complexity. Watney builds and deploys autonomous robotic systems that increase the speed and capacity of buildout, starting with data centers.

As one of the foundational members of our Engineering team, you will design components and assemblies for our fast-growing fleet of production robots. We like to ship fast. From Day 1, you’ll play an instrumental role in bringing our products to life, owning critical pieces of our hardware design from concept to production.

Working directly with our founding team, this role is based onsite at our San Francisco headquarters.

Design custom mechanical components for our advanced robotics and teleoperations systems, including end-effectors, grippers, manipulators, mounts, etc.

Develop and implement solutions for rapid prototyping of new hardware designs to ensure performance, reliability and manufacturability.

Integrate mechanical components within larger hardware systems, ensuring they meet performance and project goals.

Provide technical leadership and advise leadership on technology strategy and decision-making.
