10Beauty is building what it describes as the world's first full-service robotic manicure machine. The company's work sits at the intersection of robotics and 3D printing, with a focus on automating an end-to-end beauty service that has traditionally been performed entirely by hand. Based in Burlington, the team operates in a startup environment structured around hands-on collaboration with prototypes, tools, and 3D printers - engineers work directly with physical hardware rather than in a purely simulation-driven workflow.
The engineering culture emphasizes solving complex problems pragmatically. Internal values center on being "hard on the problem, soft on the people" and thinking like both an owner and a customer. The team is described as a diverse group of innovators and engineers, and the company maintains a dedicated DEI committee. Collaboration and deep focus are prioritized over hierarchical process; meetings are oriented around working through problems together rather than assigning responsibility.
On the benefits side, 10Beauty offers equity, 12 weeks of paid parental leave, comprehensive health coverage, and flexible vacation policies. The company operates in the beauty technology vertical, applying robotic systems to a consumer-facing service domain where precision, repeatability, and physical interaction with a human hand present real engineering constraints.
