Forward Deployed Engineer

In This Role You Will

• Bridge the gap between core research and real-world deployment: Transition our robot working in a lab to it providing value to our end customers.

• Solve end-to-end integration challenges: Iterate directly with the hardware and AI teams to improve our product and make sure it fits customer needs.

• Drive field testing and iteration: Lead on-site deployments (travel to customer sites expected), perform in-the-field debugging, and gather crucial real-world data to drive subsequent iterations of our technology.
  

What We're Looking For

• Systems Integration proficiency: A track record of navigating and interfacing with complex, foreign systems, APIs, and networks to build the bridges between our stack and the operational environments of our customers.

• Hands-on deployment experience: Proven track record of taking software and hardware from a simulation/lab environment and successfully deploying it in unpredictable, real-world settings.

• Excellent problem solving: Ability to debug complex, multi-layered system failures - from hardware communication issues to model performance bottlenecks - without relying on existing documentation.

• Communication & Collaboration: A collaborative spirit and curiosity to continuously improve our product, together with researchers and customers, bringing physical AI from the lab to the real world.
