Your mission is to translate the latest advancements in physical AI foundation models and complex robotic functionality into a stable, scalable product that thrives in real-world factory environments.
Your Responsibilities:
Drive Engineering Excellence: Set rigorous standards for code quality, automated testing, and CI/CD pipelines to ensure 24/7 reliability of our robots.
Lead Senior Talent: Act as a people-first leader for a team of Senior and Staff engineers, fostering a culture of high ownership and steady delivery.
Bridge Software and Hardware: Oversee the lifecycle of products spanning from ML training, AI inference to Linux-based industrial interfaces.
Balance Research and Delivery: Establish a strong applied research and experimentation culture, and build a process where the results directly contribute to delivery and practical outcomes.
Management Framework: Work with real-time metrics and steer the team to continuously improve productivity, predictability and quality of what we ship.
Operational Governance: Manage technical debt and architectural health to ensure long-term system stability as we scale.
Strategic Alignment: Partner with Product Management to transform customer needs into concrete technical requirements and actionable sprints.
Cross-Team Leadership: Mentor junior EMs and help evolve company-wide engineering best practices and software-first principles.
We are looking for someone who has:
Completed a university degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering, Data Science or a related field.
3+ years of experience leading high-performing teams in complex technical environments like robotics or industrial IoT.
Deep experience with AI and machine learning, including dataset curation, model training and optimization techniques and hands on experience building agentic harnesses.
Proven track record of driving an AI-first engineering culture and implementing agentic workflows that measurably accelerate team velocity and system efficiency.
Expert knowledge in modern SDLC practices, with a track record of improving deployment frequency and system stability.
Culture-aligned mindset characterized by hardware empathy, a passion for software-defined hardware, and a strong culture of high ownership.
