iRobot (<a href="http://www.irobot.com" >) - Bedford, MA (just outside of Boston, MA) and Pasadena, CA
Looking for great work-life balance at a job where you can say "I can't find my keyboard under all these robots!" ? Want a place with half-day Fridays during the summer so you can get to the beach on a Friday afternoon? 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
