Company: Charge Robotics
Charge Robotics is a YC-backed, Series-A startup building robots that build large-scale solar farms. Demand for new solar projects is booming, but construction companies can't keep up due to limited labor resources. We're addressing this bottleneck to speed up the world's transition to renewables. We are MIT-founded and backed by top investors. Join our fast-moving team for significant impact, equity, and the chance to work with giant robots for climate impact.
