Manufacturing Engineer
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...
