Revise Robotics (YC W25) is building AI-powered robots to automate circularity in the electronics industry, starting with laptop refurbishment. Our robots inspect, wipe, test, and prepare thousands of laptops for second lives, thus reducing e-waste and increasing equitable access to technology. We’re a small, fast-paced team at the intersection of robotics, AI, and automation, that is currently scaling up from prototypes to high-throughput agentic systems.<h3>Role Overview</h3>We’re looking for a Software Engineer who’s comfortable working across a wide range of technical areas and can adapt to changing needs. This role involves everything from robotic manipulation and backend systems, to AI agents and automation scripts that increase our operational efficiency.You’ll help build the software foundation that ties our robotics, data, and operations together. This entails improving our robot API, integrating new AI agents, developing Windows utilities for self-reporting diagnostics, and deploying new features in our internal inventory management system. The goal is straightforward: automate wherever possible to make our process smarter, faster, and more reliable.<h3>What You’ll Work On</h3><ul><li>Writing Python code to control robots and peripherals through hardware APIs</li><li>Integrating AI Agents (Claude, GPT, etc.) with the robotic system to enable handling of diverse range of laptops</li><li>Implementing computer vision pipelines for classification, inspection, and feedback</li><li>Designing APIs and backend systems that track inventory and production flow</li><li>Building internal tools and dashboards for operations and data visibility</li><li>Developing Windows/Linux scripts and utilities for automated self-reporting and diagnostics</li><li>Contributing to our custom ERP / inventory management UI and logic (React + FastAPI + Supabase)</li></ul><h3>Ideal Experience</h3>You might be a great fit if you have:<ul><li>2–5 years of software engineering experience (or equivalent hands-on skills)</li><li>Strong Python skills and familiarity with server-side implementation (FastAPI, Flask, etc)</li><li>Comfort working across multiple domains — robotics, backend, automation, scripting, UI</li><li>Some familiarity with computer vision robotics APIs</li><li>Experience building and deploying APIs or web apps (FastAPI, Flask, or Node)</li><li>(Bonus) Hardware experience – Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc.</li><li>(Bonus) Frontend experience with React or TypeScript</li><li>(Bonus) Comfort writing scripts or automation tools for Windows/Linux environments</li></ul><h3>What We Offer</h3><ul><li>A flexible, creative role with lots of autonomy and room to grow</li><li>The chance to work across a wide variety of projects — every week is different</li><li>A small, mission-driven team that moves fast and ships hardware + software daily</li><li>Competitive salary and early-stage equity</li><li>Health and dental insurance benefits</li><li>Full-time on-site position based at Newlab, Brooklyn (no remote option)</li></ul>Location: Newlab, Brooklyn, NY (On-site)Type: Full-time, early-stage equityIf you love building things that touch both software and the real world — and want to help scale sustainable robotics, we’d love to meet you 🤖⚡
