About CircuitHub
- CircuitHub is reshaping electronics manufacturing with The Grid, a factory-scale robotics platform that makes small-batch, high-mix electronics assembly radically more efficient. Think semiconductor-fab precision applied to the chaotic world of prototyping and low-volume production: a 10x throughput improvement in one of the world's most foundational industries.
- We've raised $45M from top-tier investors including Plural, Y Combinator and Google Ventures, and we're already profitable. Our customers include a major EV maker, a top AI lab and many of the worlds largest companies.
- The Grid isn't a prototype. It's live, scaling fast and delivering real revenue, and we're building the team that will scale it further.
About the role
- Mechatronics Engineers at CircuitHub own projects end to end, turning problems into working machines from the factory floor.
- This is a design role with hands-on prototyping, working AI-first to scope problems, drive CAD, run calculations, and write machine software.
Responsibilities
- Understand the problem and turn it into a clear specification
- Generate ideas and choose the right mechanism
- Design it in CAD and prove it out with the engineering calculations
- Prototype and build it, machining parts in our in-house CNC shop
- Bring it to life with software on our in-house robotics operating system
- Conceive new mechanisms to handle electronics parts and other robotic handling tasks, using AI to scope and specify the problem
- Design gantries and end effectors in Fusion 360
- Analyse end-effector behaviour from video and revise its geometry and control approach to improve throughput and reliability
- Specify sensors that catch errors while a machine is running, or monitor a chemical process
- Work across our US and UK sites to share what you've learned and shape the roadmap
Requirements
- Diagnose system-wide failures from first principles
- Prototype mechanical and software fixes on the fly
- Work autonomously and communicate clearly with a team spread across sites
- Take responsibility for how their machines perform in live production
Preferred qualifications
- Experience programming machines, whether PLCs, robot controllers, embedded systems or Python
- Programming and running CNC machinery
- Design of chemical handling machinery
- Optics
