Starship Technologies is revolutionizing deliveries with autonomous robots. These robots are designed to deliver food, groceries, and packages across college campuses and neighborhoods in minutes. Starship has now completed millions of autonomous deliveries to date, traveled millions of miles, and is currently doing more than 140k road crossings each day. Our contribution to society includes reducing congestion, and pollution, providing zero-emissions deliveries, increasing the quality of life for residents, empowering seniors and disabled people, and enabling affordable delivery for local businesses.

We’re hitting records on an almost weekly basis. Now is an exciting time to join as we grow rapidly around the world!

Are you a mechanical engineer with expertise in large-scale production and a passion for transforming complex designs into products ready for high-volume manufacturing?
