Our mission is to accelerate the advent of intelligent machines that empower humans to do what humans do best. Building robots that reliably manipulate food in real production environments is one of the hardest problems in AI and robotics. It’s technically demanding, operationally complex, and unlike anything that’s been done at scale before. We believe embodied AI will be one of the defining technologies of this century, and food manufacturing is where it can make an immediate, meaningful impact. By solving one of the most challenging robotics problems in one of the world’s largest industries, we’re building the foundation for intelligent robots that can transform how food is made around the globe. If you enjoy solving exceptionally difficult technical problems alongside ambitious, kind, and driven teammates, we’d love to meet you.
Our engineering team brings experience from companies like Google, Cruise, Tesla, Amazon Robotics, Dexterity, Bear Robotics, Saildrone, and Zoox, combining deep robotics, AI, and product expertise to solve some of the industry’s toughest challenges.
These principles are the foundation of how we work. Whenever we’re faced with a difficult decision, we come back to them.
We’re here to serve our customers and users. Work backwards from their needs and obsess over giving them the best experience possible.
Velocity matters. Our customers operate production lines where even brief downtime can be incredibly costly. Ship quickly, stay focused on what matters, and work both smart and hard.
If enough smart people are in the room, we’ll figure it out. Hire deliberately, not just to fill a role.
