Full Job Description
### The Bigger Picture At Andromeda Robotics, we’re not just imagining the future of human-robot relationships; we’re building it. Abi is the first emotionally intelligent humanoid companion robot, designed to bring care, conversation, and joy to the people who need it most. Backed by investors such as Forerunner and Main Sequence and with customers already deploying Abi across elder care and healthcare, we’re scaling fast, and we’re doing it with an engineering-first culture that’s obsessed with pushing the limits of what’s possible. ### Our Values * **Empathy** \- Kindness and compassion are at the heart of everything we do. * **Play** \- Play sharpens focus. It keeps us curious, fast and obsessed with the craft. * **Never Settle** \- A relentless ambition, bias toward action, and uncomfortable levels of curiosity. * **Tenacity** \- Tenacious under pressure, we assume chaos and stay in motion to adapt and progress. * **Unity** \- Different minds. Shared mission. No passengers. ### About the role We are hiring a highly capable generalist engineer to work closely with the CTO on fast-moving robotics projects across software, electronics, mechanical systems, lab infrastructure, prototyping, testing, and deployment. This is not a traditional engineering role with a narrow scope or fixed responsibilities. Think of it more like a “special ops” role, you wil be deployed wherever you’re needed to fix problems and bring more alignment to every team within the business. It is a broad, hands-on role for someone who can take ambiguous technical problems, learn the system quickly, and drive them toward working outcomes. The role is software-led, but it sits at the intersection of software, electrical engineering, mechanical design, systems integration, and robotics operations. The ideal person does not need to be a deep specialist in every area. We are looking for someone who is technically broad, fast to learn, and comfortable figuring things out across domains. This role is
