About Us
There are products that customers think are cool at the moment, and then there are products that customers cannot live without because they are so incredibly useful. At Matician, we are building the latter because these are the products worth spending our lives on. We want to build great products to solve real problems.
We believe that sensors and algorithms are finally good enough to reimagine home devices and apply Level 5 autonomy and mobility so that people can save time and energy bypassing repetitive and mundane tasks inside the home.
We're a small team with a singular focus on product that combines technologies such as vision, ML, structure-from-motion, and robotics. Our goal is to ship products that people love.
About the Program
Our Hardware Robotics Residency is a one-year product-focused research position where you will develop, build and optimize machine learning, computer vision, natural language and perception algorithms for autonomous robots. You’ll play an integral role in not just in developing algorithms, but also in product development, patents and other aspects of building a company from the ground up. Unlike other residency programs that focus just on conducting research and publication, our program places heavy emphasis on the process of refining and engineering the research into a product that people can buy.
Eligibility Requirements
- Willingness to take risks
- Enjoys cleaning and organizing
- For international candidates without work authorization in USA, they must be graduating prior to the start of the residency for J-1 visa
- Completed coursework in calculus, linear algebra, and/or their equivalent
We are looking for someone who is:
- An out-of-box thinker and doer, unafraid of solving really-hard-problems, and willing to do whatever it takes to ship extremely useful products.
- Curious, asks lots of questions, challenges conventional wisdoms, and doesn’t shy from contrarian opinions/approaches.
- Sees around the corner and proactively identifies and mitigates long-range risks.
- Someone who prioritizes user needs, functionality, and usefulness
- Detail-oriented and has pride in their work.
Qualifications
- Strong CAD Skills (1+ years) - Solidworks preferred
- Knowledge of physics and mechanical engineering analysis for parts and subsystems
- Ability to validate designs and with rapid iterative prototyping
- Comfortability with thermal and fluid analysis
- Ability to work in a fast-paced, autonomously driven, and demanding start-up atmosphere.
