Treeswift is a rapidly scaling hardware and robotics company building AI-powered field solutions for energy utilities. The company has grown from first pilot in June 2024 to partnerships with three of the five largest US utilities, backed by leading investors including Penny Pritzker's Inspired Capital. Treeswift is headquartered in midtown Manhattan with offices in San Francisco and Philadelphia.
As Senior Technical Recruiter for Hardware & Robotics, you will own full-cycle recruiting for the hardware and robotics organization as it scales. You'll partner directly with the Head of Hardware to build teams designing and deploying sensor systems core to the product. Your recruiting scope spans electrical engineering, embedded systems, firmware, mechanical engineering, robotics, sensor integration, perception, systems engineering, manufacturing engineering, and field robotics.
Key responsibilities include: owning end-to-end recruiting from role scoping through offer close; partnering with hiring managers to understand technical requirements and move searches with speed; building proactive candidate pipelines through LinkedIn, referrals, and technical communities (not reactive inbound); flexing into adjacent engineering searches as priorities shift; driving excellent candidate experience from first touch through offer; and contributing to evolving recruiting practices including interview structure and evaluation frameworks.
You bring 6+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience in hardware and robotics, with in-house experience at a high-growth hardware or robotics startup preferred (agency background acceptable if paired with in-house experience). You're a strong sourcer who proactively finds and engages talent not actively looking, including in niche technical communities. You can hold technical conversations with hardware and robotics leaders, translate complex technical requirements into compelling experiences, and thrive in fast-moving environments where priorities shift and processes are still being built. You understand the talent, technical approach, and trajectory of leading companies like Skydio, Anduril, Zipline, Figure, Boston Dynamics, and others. You excel at organizational mapping, identifying breakout talent, and recruiting before candidates are actively looking.
