Wikifactory is a platform for developing digitally fabricated products. The platform’s initial features are
inspired by collaboration methodologies from the open source software world: version control,
forking, documentation systems, and issue tracking. More broadly, Wikifactory is on a mission to bring
programmability to the physical world - and we need your help!
The Role
Over the next 6 months Wikifactory will be working closely with product design teams who use a
variety of digital fabrication machines (robotics, 3d printers, CNCs, etc...) to prototype and manufacture
innovative products. Through this programme of engagement, we will design and develop additional
collaboration tools to overcome any real-world challenges they face.
You will be playing a key role in (1) designing and developing these tools, (2) helping to iterate and
improve the performance and usability of existing features and (3) helping us bring our internal UI
framework (built in React, MobX and GraphQL) to an initial open source release.
