iRobot (http://www.irobot.com) - Bedford, MA (just outside of Boston, MA)

Looking for great work-life balance at a job where you can say "I can't find my keyboard under all these robots!" ? Then iRobot might be the place for you.

We blend cutting-edge research and practical engineering to build useful and affordable robots.

We're looking for smart engineers who are easy to work with. You should probably think robots are cool, but a robotics background is NOT required. (I had no robotics background when I started at iRobot.)

iRobot is looking for software engineers and mechanical engineers.

Here are a few of our 20+ job openings:

* Embedded software engineers: We're hiring for "big embedded" (C++, Linux, and big cpus) and "small embedded" (C, bare-metal, small cpus). If you have good OO skills (C++, Java, etc.) but no "embedded" background that's okay too - shoot me an email and we'll chat.

* Software engineers for vision, navigation, and mapping

* Test engineers

* Mechanical engineers

* IT engineers

Check our jobs site for all positions: http://www.irobot.com/us/Company/Careers.aspx

Email me directly if you'd like to know more: csvec@irobot.com

PS: We have hired people from these "Who is hiring?" posts, thanks to HN for this service/forum!



Let me stress again: you do NOT need ANY robotics experience. I had ZERO robotics experience when I started here, and I'm not the only one.

If you like software, and would like to learn about robotics, please send me an email I'll be be happy to talk with you! Thanks!


We also have some openings in Pasadena, CA. See our jobs site for details.
