About Us

At AUAR, we’re reshaping how the physical world is made - through sustainable, scalable, and radically better automation.

Our mission is bold: make sustainable, high-quality housing universally accessible. We’ve created an end-to-end, tech-driven approach - from our cloud-based design-to-manufacturing software MasterBuilder to pop-up robotic Micro-Factories that manufacture timber homes. We’ve proven our impact with early customers and are scaling fast across the UK, EU, and US. Backed by visionary leadership and a robust financial foundation having just closed a £5.1m funding round, we're not just building homes - we're building a better future for people and the planet.

You’ll be joining at a pivotal moment, with the autonomy to shape a critical function, and the opportunity to build something truly transformative from the ground up. If you're ready to lead, create, and build together - we'd love to hear from you.
