To tackle the growing e-waste problem, Molg enables circular manufacturing with robotics and design. Its robotic microfactories can autonomously disassemble complex electronic products, and the team partners with leading manufacturers to design electronics with reuse in mind — ensuring one product’s end is another’s new beginning.
Molg combines advanced robotics and intelligent software to transform how electronics are manufactured and recovered. Working with partners like HP, leading hyperscalers, and industrial companies such as ABB and Stanley Black & Decker, Molg’s solutions recover valuable materials from existing devices while helping create the next generation of products optimized for circularity. This dual focus on recovery and design innovation drives Molg’s mission to keep materials in use and reduce waste.
As a Robotics Technician you will work with a cross-functional team to gain practical, hands-on experience working in robotics and manufacturing. The role will include a three-month training period where technicians will learn the basics of robotic programming, safety, troubleshooting, control, and motion, as well as electrical and mechanical troubleshooting among other topics. Technicians will be based in Sterling, VA but will frequently travel to customer facilities to service deployed microfactories. As our operational system evolves, Robotics Technicians may be asked to locate onsite with deployed microfactories. Your responsibilities will include:
Interest in building and implementing support systems and processes to ensure smooth robotic system operations in manufacturing environments.
Education or 1-3 years experience in robotics, mechatronics, automation, and advanced manufacturing.
Ability to collect and analyze data and problem solve to suggest creative solutions.
Fluency in English and ability to communicate effectively and efficiently both verbally and in writing.
Availability to travel up to 75% of the time.
Unsponsored right to work in the United States
We spend our days building robotic systems, developing complex assembly intelligence software, and designing the next generation of circular products for our customers. Given the importance of working hands-on with physical systems, we are a 100% in-person team collaboratively working in our industrial space in Dulles, VA, down the road from the largest data center market in the world. Our facility includes a variety of robots, CNC milling machines, 3D printers, and all the tools needed to build and test our products. It is important to us that anyone on our team that is interested in learning how to use our various pieces of equipment and machinery is taught and can gain the skills and appreciation for making physical things.
The position is expected to begin in late March 2025. Exact dates will be determined based on the candidate cohort selected.
We’re a small collaborative team with big ambitions, and there’s a good amount of context-switching. We expect people to be autonomous and drive their own work to completion.
We are a profitable business that is primarily funded from customer revenue, which means we are scrappy and looking to build a great sustainable company for years to come.
As a growing company and startup, priorities may shift as customer or business requirements change. We strive to empower individuals with context and decision-making power to meet this need.
