Yep, inside of the software development team we run SCRUM with two week sprints. We do the typical suite of meetings and the only big change is we do a joint retrospective with robotics to ensure we are on the same page.

With robotics we are trying to do 4 week sprints including physical production testing. We’ve adopted SCRUM and are still learning how to use it in a physical engineering environment. The team plays a big role in how we’ve set it up. We start every morning with a roundup of what we are working on for the day and if we have any active testing in the lab.

Across all of engineering we run teams of 12. We’ve found that to be an optimal size between collaboration and speed. The team is a combination of software and robotics so generally you are working with 5-6 people within your discipline and getting exposed to a lot of new technology in sister fields on a daily basis.

We all eat together in the cafeteria downstairs at around the same time. There is a foosball table and some other fun stuff to blow off steam before heading back upstairs. The food is pretty good and catered from local restaurants every day. A few people bring their own meals too.

Servant leadership is everything to us. We want managers and leaders who are humble and know that their role is to support their teams and make sure nothing is standing in the way of doing great work. So not only work blockers but also ensuring our team has the time and energy to balance their personal lives with their work lives.

The team is a total of 273 people split across robotics and software. Robotics has 179 people and software 84 people.

Yes, but only when appropriate. For example, our AI team expects you to be aware of the key algorithms in the industry and be able to talk about them. We don’t expect you to recite them perfectly. We are more interested in how you apply your thought processes to the problems we face in new ways.

No, instead we give you real world problems and talk about how we are approaching them and have a discussion. We want to hear what you would do and how you would approach what we are trying to do.
