productivity for entire new industries and users. Our user facing applications and APIs

unlock the power of automation for entire new use cases. A relentless focus on

company’s mission by designing solutions around, installing and supporting Standard

This role will be remote, but you must be located in the Boston area. You will travel up to 50% domestically to assist our customers.

Note: We are unable to offer Visa sponsorship for this role.

About the Role:

We’re looking for seasoned and skilled customer facing problem-solvers to help

architect the future of robotics through the design, installation and support of

innovative new robotic solutions. As a Applications Engineer you will work with other

engineers, organizational leaders, sales and customers to design install and support

solutions for our customers in new and exciting robotic applications.

What You’ll Do:

• Partner with sales and customers to design robotic solutions for novel applications, serving as a trusted technical resource throughout the sales cycle
• Own installations end-to-end — traveling to customer sites to install, program, and validate Standard Bots solutions in the field
• Create technical enablement materials including sample code, application notes, and white papers that help customers get the most out of our platform
• Collaborate with in-house engineering to test and refine new features and integrations as our product expands
• Contribute to marketing efforts by developing collateral that communicates the value of Standard Bots solutions to prospective customers
  
  

What you'll bring:

• Technical Depth: You have hands-on experience across electrical, software, and mechanical systems — you're comfortable with DC power, understand NPN vs. PNP, can write Python scripts, and can navigate CAD tools like SolidWorks
• Industry Fluency: You have hands-on experience in automotive, manufacturing, or industrial automation environments — you understand the constraints, workflows, and stakeholders that come with deploying technology on a factory floor
• Operational Context: You've worked alongside or within production or assembly environments and can speak credibly to customers about cycle times, uptime requirements, safety standards, and integration with existing equipment
• Growth Mindset: You're energized by new domains and challenges, and you pick up context quickly to maximize your impact
• Clear Communication: You communicate with precision and empathy — in writing, in person, and across technical and non-technical audiences
• Bias for Impact: You prioritize user outcomes over technical elegance, and you execute with urgency
• Proactive Simplicity: You default to simple, reliable solutions and proactively flag opportunities to improve on what's proposed or already in place
• Thrives in Ambiguity: You do your best work in fast-moving, high-expectation environments alongside a diverse team
