About

Automation should include people, not replace them

We help shops scale without burning out their teams. We build robotic systems that welders and fabricators learn fast and use every day.

Our mission

Better parts. Better shops. Better outcomes.

Hirebotics builds welding, cutting, and painting systems powered by Beacon to give every fabricator the ability to automate. No code. No complexity. Tools designed to work with your team, not around it.

  • Systems your operators run from a phone, with no engineers required
  • A Nashville shop where you can run your own parts on a real system
  • 24/7 support from people who know welding, cutting, and coating

History

Where we started, and where we're going

In 2015, Matthew Bush and Rob Goldiez asked a simple question: what if robots could be hired like people? Automation was complex and costly, programming slowed production, and skilled labor was already hard to find. So they built systems fabricators could run without engineers or code.
