How does Boston Dynamics hire employees?

Boston Dynamics has tailored its hiring process to identify candidates who have a genuine passion for their work, regardless of their specific role within the company. Sometimes, candidates, including technical roles, are required to give a presentation about their work, reflecting a process that prioritizes understanding a candidate's depth of knowledge and genuine interest. This approach has been particularly valued in roles that are still technical, although not every candidate goes through this due to scaling needs in hiring 1.

Additionally, Boston Dynamics looks for unique backgrounds, including individuals from the maker community, such as those who have experience building things like bicycles or have been tinkering with machines from an early age. This emphasizes a broader skill set and a passion for creating as core attributes 2.
