R&D Engineering Technician

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

Demand for new solar projects is booming (1/5th 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 our product, which will be reflected in significant equity compensation. And you get to work with giant robots .

If you are excited to work on interesting technical problems with direct climate impact, you’re going to fit right in at Charge Robotics.

Charge’s funding:

We’re MIT-founded and backed by some of Silicon Valley’s top investors, including Lux, YC (S21), Uphonest, Collab, E14, Outset, and more.
