assess the feasibility of new designs
systems modeling and analysis
conscious design with the user experience in mind
present designs and justify the engineering decisions made
generate engineering drawings and technical documentation
work alongside Embedded Systems Engineers to develop electromechanical systems
Minimum Qualifications
5+ years of relevant experience
CAD experience (Solidworks, Autodesk Inventor)
electrical/electronics knowledge
linear and rotational motion controls
ability to learn on the job
ability to cogently discuss engineering designs and decisions
ability to cooperate and communicate effectively with a team

Aersys, Inc. is making next generation automation accessible to everyone. While companies at the top innovate to stay ahead, we innovate to bring everyone along. Our flagship product, the AerNode, is a modular robotic MicroFulfillment Center (MFC) that lets companies automate small-parts inventory, offer roadside pickup (BOPIS), leverage automated delivery with drones and rovers, and create grab-and-go experiences for customers. Tools normally reserved for giant e-commerce companies will now help small and large business compete on a level playing field.
We’re a team of builders, problem-solvers, tinkerers, and nonconformists. Collectively, we form a scenius that challenges the way things have always been done. We think from first principles, understand that failures are just stops on the road to success, and care more about our impact on the world than our bottom line.
The most amazing things happen when you're somewhere new. While we spend a lot of time in the office, it's always good to spend some time working from home or in a someplace different.
25 DAYS + UNLIMITED PTO
We have an unlimited PTO policy and we don't track when you come to work. But just to make sure you are getting the break you deserve, we push everyone to take at least 25 days off each year. And you will never need to ask for permission.
NO "MANAGER"
We expect our employees to be independent and use good judgement. As a result, we don't need managers. Team leads are still responsible for projects, but you can choose which project (and team lead) you want to work with.
DESTRESS WITH SNACKS & GAMES
With all the exciting and fast-paced progress, it's easy to forget essentials like food, relaxation, and sleep. We stock snacks and drinks and have dedicated areas for games and quick naps. And like every startup, we have a ping pong table!
ACCESS TO EQUIPMENT
Our R&D Lab is filled with industrial equipment like laser cutters, UV printers, CNCs, 3D printers and more. Whenever a machine is not being used, you are welcome to use it for personal projects. Equipment training is part of onboarding.
DYNAMIC WORKSPACE
We have an dynamic open plan layout where you can move your desk to wherever you want it. And since not everyone is productive in an open-plan office, there are also plenty of quiet rooms to concentrate or take a break.
On average, how long does it take to fill out an application after submitting?
On average, it takes 30-60 minutes to fill out an application. You can apply for multiple positions in the same application. Please note that some positions may require completing a short assessment before scheduling an interview.
Can I change my application after submitting?
Yes. You will receive a confirmation email once you complete your application. The email will contain a link which you can use to edit your application.
Do I need a college degree to work at Aersys?
No. While a college degree can help us evaluate a candidate, we rarely require a college degree. We care more about what you can accomplish here at Aersys and there are many ways you can show us that. Throughout the application process, don't be afraid to take risks and go above and beyond. Anything that will show us what you are capable of is encouraged.
Will you let me know when a position has been filled?
Yes. When a position is no longer open, we send an email notification to all applicants.
I interviewed/applied previously and wasn't selected. May I reapply?
Yes! There are many reasons why you may not have been selected for a particular position and you may still be a good fit for our team. We always encourage people to reapply. Persistence is a quality we look for in our candidates.
How can I prepare for a technical interview?
We employ different interview styles for each position. When you are invited for an interview, we will let you know how you can prepare. Generally, we structure our interviews to require minimal preparation. We care more about your understanding of different concepts and how you approach problems than about any individual skill.
Can I apply for multiple jobs?
Yes. You can apply for multiple positions in the same application. You may also fill out separate applications if you prefer.
