About Nimble http://nimble.ai/ is an AI robotics company building the autonomous supply chain to power fast, efficient and economical commerce. We’re training robot AGI to power a proprietary generalist supply chain superhumanoid, the first robot in the world capable of performing thousands of tasks across the supply chain. We’ve raised over $220M at over $1B valuation and formed a strategic alliance with FedEx to build a national network of autonomous warehouses capable of generating many billions in annual revenue. We are a hardcore and obsessed team of the world’s best engineers and operators. If you are obsessed with your craft, enjoy a high-intensity and fast moving high impact environment, are super high agency in getting hard things done and want to be part of building the world’s most legendary robotics company at the most pivotal moment in history, we want to work with you. We are on a mission to empower and inspire mankind to accomplish legendary feats by inventing robots that liberate us from the menial. We will accomplish this by training robot AGI to invent and build the Autonomous Supply Chain – everything from the inside of factories and warehouses to your front door – powered by generalist superhumanoids. Our founding team comes from the AI labs at Stanford and Carnegie Mellon and our board of directors include famed robotics and AI legends including https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fei-Fei_Li (Chief Scientist of AI at Google and Director of Stanford’s AI Lab), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Raibert (founder of Boston Dynamics), and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebastian_Thrun (founder of GoogleX, Waymo; Stanford Professor and considered the father of autonomous vehicles). Let’s be legendary.

Electrical Expertise: Deep understanding of electrical fundamentals, power distribution, motor controllers, sensors, and PCBA troubleshooting. Hands-on proficiency with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers). Hardware/Software Integration: Proven ability to troubleshoot at the boundary of hardware and software. Familiarity with communication protocols (CAN, EtherCAT, Ethernet, RS-485, I2C, SPI). Testing & Automation: Strong experience designing test plans and writing automation scripts (Python strongly preferred) to execute system-level validation. Program Management Skills: Demonstrated ability to manage complex technical projects, track bugs (e.g., Jira), and drive interdisciplinary teams toward resolution. Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly present complex technical failure analyses to both engineering peers and leadership. Bonus Points: Experience in the logistics, supply chain, or warehouse automation industry. Previous experience transitioning complex hardware products from NPI (New Product Introduction) into high-volume manufacturing. Familiarity with functional safety standards and reliability testing (HALT/HASS). Compensation $160,000 - $190,000/year  The above range is the salary range.
