- **Employment:** full-time
- **Posted:** 2024-09-05
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-09-07

## Job description

Company Overview

Reflex Robotics is building affordable ($10k) wheeled humanoid robots to automate dangerous and repetitive tasks in manufacturing and logistics.

We envision a future where intelligent robots are doing all kinds of boring work that people hate doing-loading chicken nuggets into Costco boxes, lifting forty pound bags of dog food at Petco stores, and cleaning up cranberry juice spills in your apartment.

We are a four-year-old startup backed by Khosla Ventures, with $100M+/year of revenue lined up pending successful pilots with e-commerce warehouses.

How Does It Work?

Our robots are designed and built entirely in-house by an engineering team that include alumni from Boston Dynamics, Tesla, Waymo, Amazon Robotics, Intel, Figure, ASML and more. Reflex robots are high-performance, low-inertia, and optimized for low-cost manufacturing.

We’ve built the best real-time teleoperation system in the world, allowing a remote operator in South America to “play a video game” to control our robots at human-level speeds. This has allowed us to already ship robots with positive unit economics, and enables us to create a powerful human-intervention + RL product feedback loop.

Our system allows us to collect high-quality demonstrations at scale, giving us the proprietary data engine needed to train increasingly capable AI systems. We’re on track to build the largest robotics dataset in the world, which will serve as an important long-term advantage.

## Key Company Beliefs

High-quality, proprietary robotics data is the next foundation for generational AI companies (like Tesla FSD and ChatGPT).

Being nerd-sniped by maximizing an engineering metric is way less important than solving our customers’ biggest pain points.

## What We’re Looking For

We develop custom servo actuators, computer, networking, cameras, and other sensors for our robots. These systems must be performant, reliable, cost-effective, and integrated with mechanical and software requirements.

We are looking for versatile electrical engineers to design, debug, test, and deploy these systems. This is a small team with high ownership, high equity, and the chance to shape the product from the ground up.

We love to see engineers who have built something they are proud of, whether it's a side project, an open-source contribution, or a product feature that shipped to real users.

Required Qualifications

- Understanding of electrical engineering fundamentals
- Strong PCB design experience (project portfolios encouraged!)
- Strong board bring-up, test, and debug skills: comfortable with a scope, a power supply, and a problem
- Understanding of system-level tradeoffs: how your board interacts with firmware, mechanical constraints like cable routing and connectors, and cost
- Ability to work independently and make good design decisions based on project requirements
- Good communication skills
- BS or higher in Electrical Engineering or related field

Bonus Qualifications

- Experience with motor control and power electronics designs
- Robotics experience
- High-speed design (Ethernet, PCIe, MIPI)
- RF design
- Proficiency in Altium for schematic cpature and PCB layout
- Experience taking designs from prototype through production: DFM, supply chain considerations, and test coverage
- Cross-disciplinary experience: firmware (C, RTOS), mechanical design

Compensation: $140,000–$250,000, depending on experience, skills, and qualifications.

Come Join Us

Reflex is de-risked enough to see the hazy outlines of success, but still small enough that there’s enormous upside for grabs. This is a rare opportunity to help build a flagship robotics company from the ground up and to do work that will truly matter, reshaping what people believe is possible in robotics.

We love to see the things you’ve worked on. Have a portfolio or a project that people tend to say 'wait, you built that?' when you describe what you worked on? Share it. We’re looking for people who push past the status quo, are passionate at work and in their own time, we’re looking for people who want to win.

## About Reflex Robotics

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Reflex Robotics builds affordable, general-purpose wheeled humanoid robots designed to perform reliable, end-to-end work in warehouses, factories, and other industrial operations.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed-stage)
- **Headquarters**: Brooklyn, New York, United States
- **Founded**: 2022
- **Founders**: Ritesh Ragavender (CEO), Mason Massie (CTO), Mateo Mariscal (COO), David Schwebel (CRO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industries**: Robotics engineering, industrial automation, manufacturing and logistics.
- **Target customers**: B2B – warehouses, factories, and other industrial operations seeking to automate repetitive, manual tasks with minimal integration effort.
- **Mission/purpose**: "Free humanity from the drudgery of boring and repetitive tasks" by building affordable general-purpose robots that deliver useful work in the real world.

## Products & Services
- **Reflex Humanoid Robot**: A wheeled, general-purpose humanoid robot platform that combines production-grade hardware, a supervised reliability layer, and AI-based decision-making (Reflex Intelligence). The robot is designed to deploy with zero integration – it uses existing carts, monitors, and touchscreens – and improves over time by learning from supervised work. It features superhuman reach, payload, precision, battery life, and speed. It is sold as a service or product to industrial customers. [reflexrobotics.com]

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed.
- **Key Metrics**: Total funding raised: **$14.3M** across two rounds (Seed and Seed VC). Latest round (May 2024) of $7M. Annual revenue not publicly available.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Khosla Ventures (lead Seed round), Cruise, Dropbox Ventures, Invariantes Fund. [cbinsights.com]
- **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew 50% YoY to 24 employees. LinkedIn followers grew 147.6% yearly. The company is actively scaling manufacturing and has recently selected Manufacturo as a manufacturing execution partner to improve traceability and quality control.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Wheeled humanoid design** – prioritizes safety, low inertia, and cost-efficiency over humanoid walking, making it more practical and affordable for immediate industrial deployment.
- **Supervised reliability layer** – enables predictable recovery from real-world variability, reducing the risk of downtime compared to fully autonomous systems.
- **Zero-integration readiness** – works with existing warehouse infrastructure (carts, monitors, scanners), lowering the barrier to adoption.
- **Continuous learning** – robots improve their performance across shifts and workflows via supervised AI policies.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scaling production** while maintaining quality and traceability (partnership with Manufacturo).
- **Expanding deployment** in manufacturing and logistics sectors to address labor shortages and support reindustrialization in the US and Europe.
- **Advancing autonomy** – hiring AI research engineers focused on reinforcement learning and world models to increase robot self-sufficiency over time.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: A team that has "shipped real robotic systems before" – a disciplined, execution-oriented environment focused on building robots that leave the lab and prove themselves in real customer operations. [reflexrobotics.com/careers]
- **Work model**: In-office (all roles listed as on-site). Offices in Brooklyn, NY (HQ) and New York City.
- **Notable perks/engineering culture**: Emphasis on hands-on hardware and controls engineering; opportunity to work on a full-stack robotic system from hardware to AI. Small team with a high density of senior talent (30% senior, 11% C-level).
- **Open roles** (as of mid-2025): Mechanical Engineer, Electrical Engineer, CNC Machinist & Hardware Technician, Controls Engineer, Principal AI Research Engineer (World Models and RL). [builtin.com], [jobs.ashbyhq.com/reflexrobotics]
