What startups in robotics and manufacturing build

Roles cross mechanical, electrical and software work, and teams are small enough that people move between them.

What design work involves at an early-stage startup
You cover research, interface work and the brand, sometimes in the same week. No design system is waiting for you, so you build one while shipping. At a large company you would hand off a spec, and here you sit with the engineer building it.
