Process Engineer Asia (Remote) at Matic

Company OverviewEach year 2.5 trillion hours are spent on household chores. At Matic were on a mission to recapture that lost time and were doing it by revolutionizing home robotics.Our first product also called Matic is a Wall-E-esque floor cleaning robot. Weve built what amounts to full self-driving in the home with real-time 3D mapping adaptive path-tracking and a precise semantic understanding of the home. Our breakthroughs in spatial AI allow Matic to work reliably in real homes using only RGB cameras and neural networks running on-device.Privacy FirstWhat happens in the home stays in the home. Our robots are private by design with all data processing performed by the robot itself not in the cloud.Our ApproachBefore the iPhone consumers adopted several distinct devices; cell phones PDAs and portable music players each served a particular need. We believe in a similar progression for home robotics starting with single-purpose robots and building iteratively toward more complex capabilities over time.Our CultureMatic is a tight-knit and collaborative team singularly focused on building products our customers will cherish. Were ultra-hardworking people committed to solving tough problems that save precious time and energy.About the roleAs our Process Engineer based in Asia youll be our front-line technical expert ensuring every part and subassembly from our Asian supply chain meets Matics exacting standards.
