Jobs at TAR

Lead design and deployment of autonomous machines and an autonomous fleet for rapid, large-scale energy-plant construction. Tasks include hardware prototyping, low- and high-level control, sensor fusion and localization, simulation and RL for sim-to-real, vendor production planning, and cross-discipline engineering coordination.

Design and drive mechanical hardware for off-grid GW-scale power plants from concept to mass production. Create detailed CAD and technical drawings, specify materials, run structural/FEA and wind-load analyses, and manage vendor handoff and volume manufacturing while iterating with electrical, robotics, and construction teams for field deployment.

Build and own a physics-based digital twin and simulation platform for off-grid power campuses, modeling PV, BESS, weather, terrain, and dispatch; ship offline-capable field software; collaborate with electrical, mechanical, and robotics engineers and validate models against field data.

Lead mechanical design for an autonomous field robot that installs rebar foundations: own chassis, mast, tool head, rebar handling, and locomotion. Size motors, specify actuators and sensors, perform structural and dynamic analysis, prototype and iterate in-field, define tolerance budgets, and transition designs toward a small production fleet emphasizing reliability and serviceability.

Design and own the robot's electrical systems end-to-end: power architecture, motor control, sensing, embedded real-time firmware, CAN/EtherCAT communication, test and field bring-up, and ruggedization for harsh outdoor environments.
