About Us:

Over one third of apparel produced is never sold: Topologic’s mission is to eliminate this disastrous overproduction and waste by producing exactly to demand.

To do that, we’re inventing and designing whole machines from scratch, with a focus on precision machine design and mechanically intelligent behavior. We are attacking a massive $2T industry and are already generating revenue. We are backed with $10m from leading VCs and CAD insiders (SolidWorks, Onshape) and just completed a highly oversubscribed round.

  • Making parts self-sufficiently on a high-end 5-axis mill/millturn machine

  • Assembling electromechanical machines

  • Planning the expansion of machining space and capabilities to match the company’s needs

  • Procuring and maintaining tools and machines

  • Consulting on the design of parts for manufacturability, and potentially performing that design work independently

  • Collaborating with software, mechanical, electrical, and materials engineers inside and outside the company to ensure these machines work

  • Guiding the manufacture, installation, and maintenance of these machines through their full lifecycle and worldwide deployment

Where You’ll Work:

You’ll have flexibility in your work from day to day but we expect the majority of your time to be in our lab and microfactory at 12 Channel Street, Boston. Our work is hands-on and close collaboration with our product experts is an essential part of our success. We have excellent access to the T through South Station and the Silver Line, as well as substantially discounted parking in the Seaport District.

Don’t meet every single requirement?

Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. We’re dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align with every part of the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways.
