About the Company

At Pave Robotics, we build robots that repair roads.

In this role, you’ll work hands-on with the entire robot—designing, building, and improving the system. You’ll tackle real-world problems, test your work in the field, and have a direct impact on the roads people use every day.

If you like working on tough problems and want to build machines that improve infrastructure, this role is for you.
