B3LL is looking for exceptional engineers and technical founders who want to work on one of the least industrialized products in the economy — and on the robotics, manufacturing, structures, and energy systems needed to change that.
Most of the cost of a home is decided by how it is produced: how much work happens in the field, how many trades must coordinate, how much is redesigned for every site, and how little is measured. Those are engineering problems. Our mission is to make quality housing radically more affordable by reinventing how homes are designed, manufactured, assembled, powered, maintained, and connected to transportation.
The work sits where mechanical, structural, manufacturing, robotics, and energy engineering meet. It requires designing the building and the machine together, proving every assumption with prototypes and data, and holding a high bar for safety and quality in a field that has rarely been engineered this way.
B3LL is at the concept and engineering-definition stage. We are not advertising open positions. We want to meet exceptional people early — potential founding engineers, technical cofounders, advisors, and research collaborators — and build the team around the problems that matter most.
The five challenges behind the mission, stated as the engineering questions they raise. None has a settled answer yet.
Partition the building into work that can be done in controlled production and work that must happen on site, then drive the site share down.Robotics · Manufacturing · Industrial engineering
Develop connection systems, datums, and tolerance strategies that let machines place and join components reliably in real field conditions.Structural · Mechanical · Robotics
Model and minimize total delivered cost across equipment, takt, yield, transport, installation, and finishing — not component cost alone.Manufacturing · Industrial engineering · Intelligence
Engineer generation, storage, charging, and vehicle infrastructure into the product and site from the start, and keep it adaptable as technology changes.Energy systems · Electrical · Mobility
Define the test articles, instrumentation, and metrics that would show — or refute — that the system lowers labor, cost, and schedule at equal or better quality.Test engineering · Simulation · Quality
We are especially interested in people who have shipped physical systems: machines, production lines, structures, or energy hardware that had to work outside a lab.
Robotics engineers, automation specialists, controls and perception engineers.
Manufacturing and industrial engineers, production planners, industrial designers.
Structural engineers, mechanical engineers, building-systems and envelope specialists.
Electrical and energy-systems engineers, EV infrastructure and mobility specialists.
Simulation, software, and data engineers who want to connect design, production, and operations are welcome too — as are technical founders who see a part of this problem they want to own.
Tell us what you have built, which problem you would want to work on, and how you would like to be involved. Links to work speak louder than a résumé.
