Senior/Lead Mechanical Product Engineer (India - Bangalore)

At Xook, we are building a new food distribution model using a fleet of fully cloud-controlled robots. We believe in a future where every person could have freshly made food tailored to their personalized taste whenever they want and are committed to making it a reality using digital recipes, IoT, and robotics.

As an organization, we strive to build a culture that encourages people to take ownership of areas, constantly innovate, raise concerns openly, be open to feedback, and learn from mistakes. As an engineer joining the startup during its early stages, you would get to work closely with the founders who've been part of the management teams of companies like Curefit, Ola, Inmobi, Livspace, etc., and work on a variety of problems across the stack

1. →Design and develop a new robotic product by working closely with electronics engineers, and manufacturing vendors for prototype development 
2. →Understand on the ground problems and scope for improvement by making deployment site visits, and by working closely with the operations and marketing teams.
3. →Test, calibrate, and refine the product to make it mature and stable.
