Build the machines that think, move, and work.
Robotics is moving beyond the lab into factories, warehouses and roads.
Akkar connects companies with robotics specialists capable of making intelligent machines work in the real world.
Building robots for the real world changes the hiring problem.
A robot has to sense, decide and act safely and consistently outside a controlled environment. That makes robotics an interconnected engineering problem, and hiring has to reflect it.
Intelligence has to work outside the simulation
Performance in a controlled environment does not guarantee performance in the real world.
Robotics teams need engineers who design for uncertainty, not just benchmarks.
Hardware and software have to move together
Robotics cannot be built in silos. Mechanical, electronics, embedded, perception and controls have to evolve as one system.
Hiring needs people who can work across those boundaries.
Prototype and production need different capabilities
The skills that prove a concept are not always the skills that industrialise it.
As teams scale, hiring shifts towards reliability, validation, quality and manufacturing.
Expertise across the full robotics system.
We recruit across the disciplines that build intelligent machines, and into adjacent markets where the same engineering problems have been solved before.
The people behind intelligent machines.
From leadership to the specialists who deliver, these are the roles we recruit for most often.
The Hire Behind Apollo's Compliance Function
Mass production, no in-house compliance function
Apollo was heading into mass production without in-house compliance capability. Apptronik needed one engineer to own RF, EMI and EMC strategy and build a test lab from scratch.
Searched beyond robotics
We went where the expertise already existed: consumer electronics.
Akkar engaged a passive senior specialist from audio manufacturing, and Apptronik shaped the role around his experience. We also coordinated his family's relocation to Austin.
"After 10 minutes on the phone Kris connected me with Apptronik, who were looking for, for lack of a better explanation, me. Every single aspect of their needs matched my skillset perfectly. This shows how well Kris was able to match skills, not just abilities, but the actual needs and wants of both parties. Akkar really matches skilled people with the right opportunities they will excel in."
