Summary Generated by Built In

At Chewy, it is our mission to become the most trusted and convenient online destination for pet parents and our partners – vets and service providers – alike.  Our success is measured by the happiness of the people and pets we serve, not simply by the amount of pet supplies we deliver. That’s why we continue to think of outside-the-Chewy-box ways to delight, surprise, and thank our loyal pet lovers!

We are hiring an elite team to push the boundaries of what human factor robots can accomplish in a warehouse environment. If your ideal day involves managing predictable tasks or incremental improvements, this role won’t be a fit. We’re looking for someone who thrives in complexity, who doesn’t just solve problems but redefines them.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

  • Perform market research on all things Robotics & AI
  • Define functional requirements and technical specifications for Chewy’s human factor robot use cases
  • Design human factor robot concepts for Chewy warehouse processes
  • Develop and test Chewy specific subsystems such as end effectors tailored to Chewy processes/items
  • Work with industry partners to develop and test full concepts at Chewy’s robotics lab
  • Support the deployment of human factor robots in Chewy warehouses

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

  • Bachelor's Degree (AI, Data Science, Engineering, MIS, CS, or related field)
  • 7+ years of Robotics Engineering experience
  • Track record of solving problems others deemed impossible
  • Comfort working in an ambiguous space where ideas are regularly challenged
  • Comfort being deeply wrong and learning from your failures
  • The ability to work with minimal guidance on undefined problems
