Job description

Promise Robotics is pioneering Physical AI for homebuilding — a rapidly growing, venture-backed company bringing together AI, robotics, and manufacturing to help the homebuilding industry meet the growing demand for housing. Our robotic systems, built and operated inside AI-powered factories, give the industry the production capacity, consistency, and speed to build more high-quality homes than traditional methods allow. Our team spans AI researchers and roboticists to factory operators, technicians, and production teams — all building the future of homebuilding together.

You might be a good fit if you:

• Have a passion for industry-changing solutions with significant social, economic, and environmental impact
• Want to grow your career at a growth-stage startup where you’ll get real responsibility early
• Enjoy hands-on work and learning from experienced engineers, technicians, and trades
• Are committed to continuous learning at the intersection of several industries

What you'll do:

• Support the deployment and launch of new manufacturing facilities, helping build and track deployment plans, schedules, and site readiness activities from site preparation through commissioning, production ramp‑up, and operational handoff.
• Assist with technical facility feasibility assessments by gathering information on building infrastructure, utilities, structural capacity, layout constraints, and regulatory requirements.
• Help define facility utility requirements and support the sizing, specification, procurement, and installation of manufacturing infrastructure, including compressed air, electrical systems, dust collection, ventilation, material handling equipment, and production machinery.
• Support facility modifications and infrastructure upgrades through day‑to‑day coordination with contractors, engineering consultants, utility providers, and local trades.
• Prepare technical specifications, RFP inputs, and procurement documentation, and support equipment purchasing, order tracking, shipment coordination, and receiving.
• Support the Industrial Engineer in developing production layouts, material flow, and operational workflows that improve safety, throughput, and manufacturing efficiency.
• Take a hands‑on role in mechanical and electrical equipment installation, startup, commissioning, and validation, helping ensure systems meet safety, quality, and performance requirements before operational handoff.
• Work with cross‑functional teams — Engineering, Automation, Robotics, Operations, Safety, IT, and Supply Chain — as well as contractors and vendors to keep deployment activities on track.
• Act as a point of contact for equipment suppliers, machine builders, contractors, and service providers on assigned tasks.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, including machine manuals, work instructions, commissioning records, training materials, and equipment acceptance records.
• Track launch performance using key operational metrics, help identify technical and operational gaps, and support corrective actions during ramp‑up.
• Support CMMS rollout and adoption, including setting up equipment records and preventive maintenance schedules.
• Help capture lessons learned and contribute to standardized deployment playbooks, commissioning procedures, and best practices for future factory deployments.
• Travel domestically and internationally as required to support factory deployments, commissioning activities, vendor engagements, and equipment acceptance.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

What you'll need to succeed:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, or Mechatronics), completed or completing before the start date.
• 0–2 years of experience; co‑op, internship, capstone, and student design team experience all count.
• Hands‑on experience with mechanical assembly and/or wiring of machine components, whether from school, work terms, or personal projects.
• Ability to read mechanical drawings and electrical schematics.
• Strong attention to detail in documentation, and a willingness to learn specification writing and process control.
• Hands‑on attitude, good organizational skills, and a clear communication style.
• Ability to juggle multiple tasks and priorities, and to ask for help when needed.
• Comfortable working in a fast‑paced environment where scope evolves.
• The ability to regularly lift and/or move up to 30 pounds and occasionally lift and/or move up to 50 pounds.
• The ability to travel internationally up to 30% of the time.
• A relentless pursuit of learning and growing in the rapidly changing world of industrial automation.

Nice to Have:

• Co‑op or internship experience in a manufacturing plant, construction site, or equipment installation setting.
• Exposure to working with trades, contractors, or equipment vendors.
• Familiarity with CMMS systems — experience with Limble is a plus.
• Exposure to PLCs, industrial controls, pneumatics, or robotics.
• Experience with 3D CAD (e.g., SolidWorks) and/or AutoCAD.
• Eligible for Engineer‑in‑Training (EIT) registration with APEGA.

Benefits:

Competitive salary:we believe in data‑driven, equitable compensation decisions. We recently completed a compensation review and implemented salary bands that enable us to pay mid to above‑average Canadian salaries across various industries.

Stock options:everyone has a stake in our company.

Holistic benefits:we have a comprehensive benefits package that includes paramedical, dental, vision, and drug coverage for you and your dependents, as well as a health care spending account. These benefits start right from Day 1.
