Vantaggi

It is an incredibly difficult task that we are tackling and the disappearance of the textile manufacturing industry in the US highlights this fact. I am lucky to work with some of the most talented people in robotics, vision and project management to turn this tide. Fortunately, we have some of the worlds best known brands that believe what we do and have begun scaling sewing here in the US. This technology isn't just another SaaS company trying to find a tiny corner to plant a flag. This company is reshaping the manufacturing map and creating textile manufacturing jobs here in the USA. I think that's important work. Working with customers is fulfilling and challenging requiring you to be able to work across functional departments from legal to finance to engineering to project management. The value proposition is straightforward and significant and garners a lot of press attention.

Svantaggi

The company is growing rapidly with customers and staff. This places more stress on our time and ability to accomplish milestones. From a sales and marketing perspective, this also greatly increases my time traveling and being away from my family. Additionally, from a management perspective, we require our employees to be very self motivated, but the con is that we don't always have a template for that work. It's something we are actively working on, but thats why we are hiring more great people.

Vantaggi

This is a small, but growing robotics startup. It's a fun place to work with an equal mix of mechanical and software engineers, as well as a couple of salespeople and managers. The thing I love the most about working here is the challenge--I actually get to use the math I learned in school. We are developing realtime machine vision-based feedback and robotic control algorithms, which requires me to read research papers, whiteboard with other team members, and do lots of prototyping. I really feel I've grown a lot as an engineer by working here. In addition, I really like the people here. The team is relatively young, and pretty fun to hang out with. Even though people are pretty focussed, they are always open for a discussion--whether it's a technical topic or arguing about who's going to die next on Game of Thrones.

Svantaggi

It's a startup, so the salary certainly isn't as high as an established company (although I think the stock options make up for it). Also, while mostly we work 8 hour days, sometimes we have to work late to meet a deadline to ship to a customer. Thankfully that's fairly rare compared to other startups I've been involved in.
