This team is building a unified platform for physical AI — robotic hardware plus a universal operating system, with the goal of making robots as easy to build and deploy as software. This role leads the entire robotics software and firmware organization, bridging high-level software and lower-level embedded work. The team is looking for depth across both embedded systems and controls/manipulation, not just one layer — RTOS and real-time control alongside planning and manipulation.
What you'll do
- own architecture and roadmap for robot-side firmware: real-time control loops, sensor and actuator interfaces, safety systems, and onboard compute, plus hardware root-cause investigations
- also set engineering standards for code review, testing, validation of safety-critical systems, and release discipline while growing the team
