We believe that if you enjoy your job you’ll never work a day in your life. Okay, that may be a little on the philosophical side, but we strive to keep this mindset by creating a workplace that empowers our engineers to innovate and develop cutting edge products. TORC’s management team is committed to helping our engineers make the impossible possible.
We believe in hiring great people - those that don’t need to be managed, but empowered. Plus, we have one of the coolest jobs in the world – we make robots! If you have a passion for robotics and believe you would thrive in our culture, please apply for one of our open positions (If you are looking for a 9-5 job, watching the clock, and working in a stress-free environment, TORC is NOT the place for you).
