astra rover CAD update: we're now fully transitioned to fusion; no more onshape api calls to pay! astra worked for most of the day while i did other things to get the models and motion profiles setup. tonight we work on finishing the various details and sensor/compute layouts

astra rover update: determined that Onshape's API billing model was NOT going to be sustainable long-term, so i had codex download Fusion on my MBP and rebuild the head assembly this video shows abt 2.5hrs of work (astra MAX) and the end result

this is a really great opportunity for someone 😎 (and unusually well-aligned w/ my background lol)
I'm hiring a former founder for a very important role here at RMFG Head of Factory Software. In person at our factory in Fort Worth, TX. This is an individual contributor role and you will be spending the vast majority of your time building software, not managing others. What are we doing? We're building the fastest contract manufacturer for robotics and advanced hardware companies. We're getting there by launching multiple online-first manufacturing capabilities and letting customers combine those into much more valuable assemblies, eventually full robots. We have a crazy roadmap and we've accomplished a ton with an insanely small non-production team (Me, one mech engineer, one former hardware founder leading growth, and one customer support person). It's very important to me that we keep this lean / scrappy DNA as we scale. Some reasons why you would want to work with us - We're growing incredibly fast. Revenue up ~10x since start of year. All important charts going up and to the right at a compounding m/m rate - We're growing (physically) incredibly fast. More than doubled factory floor space from 17k to 40k sq ft. This time last year we were in 4.5k sq ft. - We have cool customers. People putting stuff into outer space, nuclear technology, countless robot companies, guys making great money selling weird niche components that we make, public companies, and everything in between. - Your work will be immediately impactful and important. There will be days where you will push code changes that you physically can see the effects propagated to the floor quickly. Some days I know that I just made a multi-million dollar commit, seeing how much money it saves us on a process, or what rework it prevents, etc. - Your work will help make the American dream possible for hundreds of factory workers here at RMFG. Today we have ~20 production staff, and multiple are starting families and buying homes because of the work we provide. - Meaningful amounts of equity - We are a venture-backed hardware startup that is making more money than it burns (highly unusual) - A ton of incredibly smart people have backed us. (YC, Patrick Collison, Kyle Vogt, etc). - You will work on hard real world engineering challenges What I'm looking for - evidence of extraordinary software ability - someone who has touched grass - relentless, killer, ambitious founder mindset send me an email w/ evidence of your skills kenneth at domain name

have been testing out the new qwen image 2.1 running locally on my mbp; can honestly say it's an impressive model anyone else tested it?

Today we’re introducing CyberFusion 🚀 CyberFusion is a vertically integrated full-stack robotics company building robotic platforms from the ground up. We design the major systems in-house: mechanics, power, electronics, embedded systems, control, perception, autonomy and AI. Our first platform is Ayg, a quadruped built for developers, researchers, universities and labs. It’s designed to be programmable, inspectable and extensible across the stack. We’re building it developer-first and agent-first, so both people and AI systems can understand, operate and extend it. Rovers and humanoids are also on our roadmap. There’s a lot ahead, and we’re excited to start sharing what we’re building.
