The opportunity
We are building general-purpose robotics. In the short term, we are focused on robots to support skilled workers to build our future infrastructure.
What you'll do
Rapidly bring up new hardware and set execution pace for the team.
Lead firmware architecture for embedded systems spanning boot, RTOS/runtime: behavior, peripheral control, power management, communications, and field diagnostics.
Define engineering standards for reliability, fault tolerance, observability,: and maintainability across the firmware stack.
Design and review safety-critical mechanisms, including fault detection,: recovery paths, watchdog strategies, redundancy where appropriate, and safe-state behavior.
Build quick, scrappy prototypes when speed of learning matters, then harden: the right ideas into production-quality systems.
Partner closely with engineers in hardware, software, and AI research from early prototype through production.
What they're looking for
- Build rigorous bring-up, validation, and release processes for embedded platforms.
- Establish testing strategies across unit, hardware-in-the-loop, integration,: stress, and failure-injection testing.
- Drive root-cause analysis for subtle hardware, firmware, and system interactions.
- Make clear tradeoffs across performance, memory, power, schedule, and safety.
