About Rivelin
Rivelin’s mission is to bring advanced robotics to the mainstream. We exist to unlock the automation of jobs that are too hazardous, too strenuous or just too unpleasant to do by hand. It takes a human craftsman years to learn machining and metalworking, a skilled trade which is vital for manufacturing the things we use every day. As jobseekers’ priorities continue to move away from manual work, we hope to smooth the transition to simpler, safer and cleaner digital manufacturing through the power of software, mechatronics and AI.

We are looking for resourceful and collaborative optimists who don’t see roadblocks but instead see stepping stones to success. You will join a team of growth-minded individuals who embrace challenges and take ownership of their work. Help shape the company as an early employee and create the future of manufacturing with the best team on the planet!
