Pickle Robot

Do you want to get in on the ground floor of a fast growing, VC backed, robotic grasping company?

Then join Pickle Robot! Founded by an all ages cast of MIT alum, we are teaching off-the-shelf robot arms how to pick up boxes and play tetris with them. At Pickle, our goal is to work alongside people in the very messy world of the loading dock, reducing the backbreaking human effort that goes into getting your online orders to your door.

Even for simple shapes like boxes, autonomously picking things up and putting them down is a bleeding edge challenge. To be successful, we will need to use much of the roboticist’s toolbox on the problem. Given the enormous scale of shipping and fulfillment logistics (14B boxes were loaded into and out of tractor trailers last year...multiple times), we have customers that desperately want us to succeed.

Robots can now autonomously move themselves around; the next frontier is doing something useful with their hands when they get somewhere. If you are excited by walking/biking to work in Cambridge, MA to spend the day helping solve software, optimization, machine learning, and autonomy problems with an incredible team of engineers (half of us are women!) then send us a resume!
