Job description

You own electrical. Motors, power, controls, sensors. There is no senior EE above you. If a system ships and it runs, that is you. With that said, you are not starting from scratch. We have 80% of v1. We need to get v1 in the field and iterate from there.

Experience is valued. However creativity, intuition, proclivity for action are more important.

Compensation: $110,000 base + equity + profit sharing + bonus

This is a leadership role. We're a small team building pallet AS/RS systems. Base salary here will not match a large metro corporate offer. What we offer instead is ownership with direct influence over the product, and a bonus and profit-sharing structure that grows with the company.

• Ownership stake / equity. You will be eligible for a grant of membership units in Rebellion Automation, vesting over time
• Profit sharing. There will be a share of company profits once the business is cash-flow positive, tied to company performance
• Performance bonus. There will be bonuses tied to company milestones
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k)
• 12 days paid vacation + holidays
• Hybrid work schedule
• Moving cost reimbursement
