Job Title:
Lead Recruiter
About Us:
UnitX builds the world's leading physical AI systems to automate repetitive visual tasks in factories. UnitX is a fast-moving startup with a team from Stanford, MIT, Google, and beyond. Since inception, UnitX has deployed 1,000+ mission-critical systems across 190+ of the world's leading manufacturers' production lines. Every year, $15B worth of products go through UnitX's AI inspection system to ensure quality.
Help us hire the engineers, operators, and go-to-market teammates who ship physical AI into the world's leading factories.
Role Overview:
As a Recruiter at UnitX, you will own full-cycle hiring across our active reqs — sourcing through close. You will partner closely with hiring managers across engineering, GTM, and operations to bring in the people who build and deploy our AI systems. The people you hire will ship to real factory production lines and directly impact the $15B+ of products inspected through UnitX every year.
What You'll Do:
You will run full-cycle recruiting across our active reqs — sourcing, screening, interview coordination, and closing.
You will write custom outbound for our hardest technical roles (ML, embodied AI, sim, robotics, controls) to reach candidates who aren't on the open market.
You will partner with hiring managers to calibrate rubrics, run debriefs, and hold the bar across the loop.
You will own the candidate experience end-to-end in Ashby — clean pipelines, fast scheduling, structured scorecards.
You will construct offers, model equity, and close candidates against competing options.
You will partner with hiring managers and ops on each new hire's Day 1 to make sure they ramp fast.
You will operate as a one-person team for your reqs and ship without needing scaffolding.
Who You Are:
3–5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience at a startup or tech company.
Have personally closed engineering hires at startup scale.
Strong experience with Ashby (or comparable ATS) and structured interview processes.
Ability to explain tradeoffs, judgment calls, and candidate read-outs clearly to hiring managers and founders.
Comfortable operating in uncertainty and at the pace of an early-stage company.
Robotics, hardware, applied AI, or deep-tech recruiting experience.
Benefits:
Competitive salary & equity
Unlimited PTO
Full Medical, Dental, Vision, 401k
Daily meals provided with your own choice
