Pololu Jobs

Quick company overview

After founding the company in a dorm room at MIT, we moved to Las Vegas, Nevada in 2002; we have since grown from two to over sixty employees. We design and manufacture many of the products for sale on this website, and we also resell other companies’ products that complement our own. Most of our products require some expertise of the user, so our customers tend to be professional engineers, higher education students, and advanced hobbyists. Our goal is to become a large, global organization with a substantial impact on the world.

Our values

We are still working on pinpointing and articulating our values, but generally speaking, we value truth, beauty, and the human individual. Our mission is to improve man’s standing in the universe by expanding his understanding of objective reality, by creating and appreciating things that are good, and by advocating for the sanctity and greatness of the human individual.

Open positions

We have two kinds of openings: (relatively) specific positions to fit our established operations and less well-defined positions to help us reach our long-range goals. All open positions are for on-site work at our Las Vegas location.

Please keep in mind that although it is a long list, we can only afford a few people right away. (Also, one person could initially fill multiple roles, such as graphic designer and videographer.)
