Job description

Head of Robotics (Co-Founder & Partner), Robotics & Microfactories BuildShare Development Capital Inc (BuildShare.ai) | Remote, worldwide | Minimum 4 hours a day | Early-career welcome, students welcome

BuildShare is a new, disruptive tech platform company that combines capital formation with a new construction system to reduce the time and cost of building homes. Our platform connects investors, homebuyers and builders on one system, and our construction company, BuilderK (builderk.com), delivers the homes. We are a lean, fully remote platform (lean manufacturing, lean construction, lean management) growing through builder business owners toward 200 US metro areas, with projects starting in Florida and five initial states. Our team works from different places and meets online every day in our virtual office and project management office.

The mission

Through Ingelica, our R&D unit, we are building the robotics intellectual property behind RoMi, our robotic micro-manufacturing technology. That IP will power more than 500 micro-manufacturing facilities across the United States, which BuildShare will provide to its network of general contractors (GCs) in each state so they can build the more than $10 billion in buildings committed through BuildShare. We are also in final-stage discussions with one of the world’s largest real estate capital and investment firms on a program of at least 5,000 units over five years. Your robots will have real demand from day one.

The partnership

This is a partnership, not a standard job. You join as a co-founder and partner of BuildShare, with real ownership through stock options, a seat at the leadership table and a direct say in how the company is built. You will act as the CEO of our robotics area: you own the robotics vision, the IP and the team. It is posted as a job so you can apply here, and it also comes with a salary from day one.

What you'll do

• Lead BuildShare's robotics area end to end, like a CEO of the robotics business
• Own and grow the robotics IP: automation, robotic cells and production workflows for building components and modules
• Design, prototype and test the micro-manufacturing system that will be replicated across 500+ facilities
• Turn the system into a repeatable package our GC partners can run in every state
• Build and lead the robotics team, students and partners as we scale
• Be a public face of BuildShare robotics: demos, video, posts and investor meetings

What you bring

• A real passion for robotics, shown by hands‑on work: robots you have built, research, competitions, internships, labs or startup projects
• Practical skills in some of: mechatronics, controls, robot programming (ROS/ROS 2, industrial arms), computer vision, CAD, embedded systems, automation or manufacturing
• Ownership and drive: you like to build things from zero and see them work in the real world
• At least 4 hours a day to dedicate to BuildShare (more is welcome)
• Comfort presenting your work on camera and to investors
• Fluent English
• Work from anywhere in the world; at least 3 hours of overlap with US Eastern Time
• Early-career candidates and current university students (undergraduate, master's or PhD) are welcome to apply

What we offer

• A true co‑founder role with a seat at the table and milestone upside
• Compensation: $150,000/year, paid from your start date, plus stock options under our equity incentive plan
• Benefits: stock options with 4-year vesting (1-year cliff) and double-trigger acceleration; health, dental and vision insurance; 401(k); flexible PTO; remote work with a home-office stipend; equipment, including AI tools; professional development budget; D&O insurance.
• A real pipeline from day one and a robotics program to lead
