Earlier this week, iRobot revealed that it had laid off another 105 employees. The move was part of extended restructuring as the Roomba maker determines how to move forward after a proposed Amazon acquisition fell through. Similarly, Bowery Farming, the robot-powered vertical farming startup, quietly closed up shop.
It’s not all bad news, however. Turns out there are still plenty of robotics firms hiring. If you’ve recently lost your job, just graduated, or are simply looking around, there’s probably a good fit in here somewhere.
