Who We Are
Dusty Robotics is an early-stage venture-backed startup developing robotic automation for the construction industry. Construction is one of the largest industries on the planet, yet also one of the least served by automation. While buildings are modeled precisely in CAD, those buildings are built in the field by humans doing manual labor. Dusty Robotics develops robotic automation solutions that turn design into reality. Our first product prints CAD models in full size directly on a concrete deck, bringing the design to life underfoot with perfect accuracy.
What You’ll Do
Do you thrive under the uncertainty of defining a first-of-a-kind product for a new market? How would you like to apply your product skills to shipping a robotic system that will be used on every construction site in the near future? Builders are hungry for a robotic automation solution that can address the lack of skilled labor and move the industry into the digital era. You will leverage your empathy for the construction workforce to lead the design of a product that gives them superpowers.
At Dusty Robotics, you will work closely with the founding team to turn their vision into reality. As the first product person on our team, you will be wearing a multitude of hats: from getting your hands dirty with UX mockups, to setting product strategy, to testing ideas out with our customers.
Specifically, in this role, you will get to:
- Work closely with the senior leadership team to develop the product roadmap
- Sketch out UI/UX workflows for our product using tools like Balsamiq or Moqups
- Test sketches and prototypes with customers and bring feedback back to our team
- Cultivate relationships with construction professionals, forming an understanding of how they use technology today, and how they will interact with our product
- Use your storytelling skills to explain to engineers what customers want, and explain to the rest of the company what engineering is doing
- Develop a competitive analysis of other solutions on the market
- Learn with us what it takes to build and scale a successful robotics startup

We are deeply committed to our mission, and we believe in removing roadblocks that distract us from reaching our goals.

Where You’ll Work
Our office is located in an industrial warehouse in Mountain View, CA. We’re about a mile from the Caltrain station and a variety of restaurants along Castro Street. Due to the nature of this position, you’ll be most effective if you work from the office most days each week. Unfortunately we cannot sponsor work visas at this time; you must have authorization to work in the US.
Occasional travel to construction sites will be part of this position. You must be able to safely navigate a work site, including climbing stairs and ladders. You may also be required to assist our team in carrying 50-lb equipment onto job sites.
