About This Job

At Glacier, we are taking on one of the world’s most pressing problems: trash. Did you know that in the US, we send over half of our recyclables to the landfill? We're hoping to fix that. In doing so, we’ll also be reducing carbon emissions, energy consumption, and depletion of natural resources.

Glacier builds custom sorting robots designed to sort apart recyclables as well as AI-powered business analytics that enable recyclers to superpower their plants and improve our society’s circularity. These two products together are helping to divert tons of recyclables (literally!) from landfills every day.


About us:

Our founders come from Facebook engineering and Bain consulting.
We’re backed by top-tier VCs with extensive technical and industry expertise.
We have a fleet in production and a robust pipeline of upcoming deployments.

As the Hardware Engineering Lead, you will:

Own and execute Glacier’s hardware roadmap, ensuring our robotic systems are reliable, easy to install, and scalable for manufacturing.
Lead and mentor the mechanical and electrical engineering teams, fostering a high-performing hardware organization.
Develop and enforce best practices to improve quality, efficiency, and execution speed across hardware development.
Ensure hardware designs are optimized for real-world deployment, balancing performance, cost, and manufacturability.
Establish processes and systems that minimize errors, improve execution, and drive continuous improvements.
Provide technical guidance and design feedback, ensuring our hardware meets company and customer needs.


What You Bring:

8+ years of experience in hardware engineering

, including

3+ years leading teams

in a fast-paced environment.

Proven leadership of hardware teams, ideally at a startup or growth-stage company.
Expertise in mechanical and electrical engineering disciplines, including robotics and mechatronics, pneumatics, structural design, and DFM.
Experience bringing hardware products from prototype to full-scale production, with at least one successful commercialization of a hardware product.
Deep knowledge of manufacturing processes (e.g., machining, sheet metal, assembly) and experience working with contract manufacturers and supply chains.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with experience in failure analysis, root cause diagnosis, and iterative improvement.
Experience managing hardware development cycles, including prototyping, testing, and validation.


Why Join Us?

Mission-Driven Work

– Be part of a company dedicated to sustainability and ending waste.

Cross-Functional Impact

– Work at the intersection of product, operations, engineering, and customer success.

Fast-Paced Growth

– Help scale and optimize a cutting-edge robotics fleet in the recycling industry.


Compensation:

The total cash compensation range for this role is $160,000 - $210,000. In addition to cash compensation, Glacier also offers competitive equity compensation and benefits. The final compensation for this role will depend on many individualized factors, including job-related skills and knowledge, experience level, interview performance, and other factors.
