Job description

Each year, 2.5 trillion hours are spent on household chores. At Matic, we’re on a mission to recapture that lost time, and we’re doing it by revolutionizing home robotics.

Our first product, also called Matic, is a Wall-E-esque floor cleaning robot. We've 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.

Job responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end motor architecture from electromagnetic design through production validation for all motorized subsystems
  • Design custom motor solutions optimizing for acoustic performance ( 85%), form factor, cost (
  • Perform electromagnetic FEA simulations for motor optimization including flux density, cogging torque, and back-EMF analysis
  • Select and validate motor control algorithms, drive electronics, and feedback systems for precise motion control
  • Develop motor specification requirements balancing torque density, thermal management, and acoustic emissions
  • Design accelerated life testing protocols specific to motor failure modes including bearing wear, insulation breakdown, and demagnetization
  • Collaborate with suppliers on custom rotor/stator designs, winding patterns, and manufacturing processes
  • Drive cost reduction initiatives through design optimization, material selection, and manufacturing process improvements
