“Kayla has tremendous dedication to learning. I was her mentor at Launch Academy and I observed her growth during the high-pressure experience. I specifically remember her first mock technical interview. She did great, but like most students who are drawn to Launch, she set a very high bar for herself and wanted to do better. She demanded more practice. She ended up pioneering the 15 minute mock technical interview with me, which allowed her to solve technical problems on a whiteboard 2-3 times per week. That added to her problem solving and engineering chops, but also created a tool that her fellow students in our mentor group were able to take advantage of. She craved the pressure and the criticism in her process of fast growth. That bravery and drive are so hard to find. Seek out an opportunity to work with Kayla and you'll understand.”

Here's how you can enhance efficiency and productivity in Robotics careers through creativity.
Robotics naturally offers so much creativity because of it's innately hybrid nature. There's so much codependence between team structures, and startups require a greater array of engineers than typical SaaS companies: hardware, manufacturing, electrical, systems, automation, simulation, devops. There is a plethora of ripe opportunities in the overlapping data intersections between these teams. Hybridization adds powerful new dimensions to embedded architectures. Pick someone from another team and spend a day exploring multimodal options together. You will almost certainly find an opportunity that's not just novel, but offering high utility to the company.
