- **Compensation:** $34–$40/hr

## Job description

## About Standard Bots

Standard Bots builds AI-native industrial robot arms deployed at manufacturing facilities across the U.S. In June 2026 we closed a $200M Series C at a $1B valuation, led by RoboStrategy with continued backing from General Catalyst and new participation from the Amazon Industrial Innovation Fund and Samsung Next.

## About the role

Every robot we ship has to actually work — for years, in real factories, under real load. That comes down to what happens on the inspection bench before it ever leaves the building. As Senior Electronic Inspector, you're the final word on whether our PCBAs, cables, and harnesses meet the bar, and you're the person other inspectors turn to when the standard gets tricky.

## What you'll do

- Inspect PCBA and electronic assemblies against IPC-A-610 acceptability criteria
- Inspect cables and wire harnesses against IPC/WHMA-A-620
- Lead First Article Inspections for electronic assemblies, setting the standard other inspections get measured against
- Mentor Receiving Inspectors on electronic inspection technique and how to actually apply IPC standards, not just cite them
- Own inspection records and traceability for everything electronic that comes across your bench
- Sit on the Material Review Board for electronic nonconformances and help drive real dispositions, not just paperwork
- Review electronic assembly drawings early and flag inspectability issues to NPI and Engineering before they become production problems
- Support 6S and FOD programs in the electronics QC area — FOD control especially, since a stray piece of debris in the wrong assembly is not a small mistake

## What you'll bring

- 5+ years of electronic inspection experience in a manufacturing QC environment
- Current IPC-A-610 CIS or CIT certification
- Current IPC/WHMA-A-620 CIS or CIT certification
- Solid ESD knowledge and hands-on experience running or supporting an ESD program
- Ability to read schematics and electronic assembly drawings fluently, not just reference them

## Nice to have

- Experience with industrial robotics control electronics, motor drives, or sensor systems
- Hands-on experience with microscopy and other visual inspection equipment

## Compensation and Benefits

The salary range for this role is $34-40/hour, depending on experience. We are open to a variety of seniority levels for this role and will build compensation packages that are commensurate with seniority and skill level. Base salary is just one part of the overall compensation at Standard Bots. All Full-Time Employees are eligible for Employee Stock Options. We also offer a package of benefits including paid time off, medical/dental/vision insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, and 401(k) to regular full-time employees.

## About Standard Bots

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Standard Bots is an American AI-native industrial robot manufacturer that builds affordable, easy-to-use six-axis robot arms designed and assembled in the USA.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series stage not publicly disclosed)
- **Headquarters**: Glen Cove, New York, USA
- **Founded**: 2020
- **Founders**: Evan Beard (Founder & CEO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Industrial Robotics / Manufacturing / AI
- **Target customers**: B2B — small to large businesses in manufacturing, machining, warehousing, and industrial automation
- **Mission**: "Propel human productivity through the world’s most accessible robots."

## Products & Services
- **Bolt**: Entry-level six-axis robot arm (900mm reach, 8kg payload) starting at $29,500. Designed for light-duty automation in tight spaces — pick & place, inspection, and assembly.
- **Spark**: Mid-range workhorse robot (1,300mm reach, 18kg payload) starting at $39,500. Built for machining, welding, finishing, pick & place, and inspection.
- **Thor**: Heavy-duty robot (2,000mm reach, 18kg payload) starting at $49,500. Includes Miller Auto Delta Weld package for welding applications. Built for bimanual tasks, palletizing, and heavy applications.
- **AI-Native Control Platform**: Robots are programmed through demonstration (no code, no PhD required). Foundation models generalize across variations. Real-time AI-driven torque control. Pre-built playbooks for common tasks, native integrations, simulator, and remote access dashboards.
- **Vision-Guided Inspection**: Automated defect detection with vision-guided checks.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Private company; funding details not publicly available
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Growth Signals**: Expanding manufacturing operations with goal to produce everything "from metal in to robots out" in America by 2027. Actively hiring across multiple engineering and operations roles. Growing product line with three distinct robot models (Bolt, Spark, Thor).

## Competitive Advantages
- **AI-native architecture**: First industrial robot joints designed for real-time AI-driven torque control; robots learn through demonstration rather than complex programming — "no PhD required."
- **Cost leadership**: Starting at $29,500, significantly cheaper than legacy industrial robot solutions while claiming 3x faster performance.
- **Vertical integration**: Designs nearly every part and assembles every final product in-house in Glen Cove, NY. Goal to manufacture everything in America by 2027.
- **Ease of use**: Program complex routines from a tablet; pre-built playbooks; no-code interface; vision-guided inspection with ±0.1 Nm repeatability.

## Strategic Focus
- Scaling domestic manufacturing to full vertical integration (metal in to robots out) by 2027.
- Expanding AI capabilities with foundation models that generalize across unseen variations.
- Growing product line to cover light-duty (Bolt), mid-range (Spark), and heavy-duty (Thor) applications.
- Building out software, firmware, and AI teams to deepen the "AI-native" robotics platform.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Mission-driven environment focused on "making tomorrow easier" through accessible robotics. Emphasis on hardware, software, firmware, and electronics integration.
- **Work Policy**: Hybrid — employees typically work on-site 3 days a week. Offices in Glen Cove, NY; NYC; and Seattle.
- **Team Size**: ~130 total employees, ~25 in Product + Tech.
- **Engineering Focus**: Roles span embedded systems, motion planning, full-stack, firmware, AI research, and core platform engineering. Technology stack includes modern robotics and AI tooling.
- **Growth Stage**: Early-stage, fast-growing company (founded 2020) with significant manufacturing expansion plans. Opportunity to shape both product and culture.
