Role summary
If you’ve spent your career working on problems that matter and want to see them actually reach the world - this is that moment. We’re scaling, we’re hiring with intention, and we need people who want to build something that will genuinely change how humans spend their time - safely creating abundance for all.
Requirements
- Deep first-principles reasoning across mechanical, electrical, controls, software, and AI failure modes
- Strong systems thinking, with the judgment to know where existing standards stop and novel hazards begin
- Ability to influence technical decisions across Hardware, Software, AI, Controls, Test, Reliability, and Systems Engineering
- Excellent written and verbal communication with both deeply technical and executive audiences
- Comfortable driving technical direction across multidisciplinary teams in a fast-moving startup environment
- Deep experience in robotics safety and AI-enabled robotic systems
- Strong background in robot design, system architecture, controls, actuation, sensing, and complex electromechanical behavior
- Demonstrated track record of safety innovation - novel technical solutions to meaningful robot hazards
- Experience designing safety cases, safety validation strategies, and safety test plans for complex robotic or autonomous systems
- Experience applying functional safety methods in service of product-specific risk reduction, not compliance alone
Nice to have
- Experience with humanoid robots, mobile robots, or other systems operating in close proximity to people
- Experience developing safety architectures spanning hardware, controls, software, and AI behavior
- Familiarity with robotics, machinery, functional safety, or autonomous-system standards - and where they fall short
- Experience building or leading multidisciplinary safety test programs for complex physical systems
- Experience taking safety-critical systems into consumer or in-home environments
Team members at the organization who thrive here are builders. They move fast, own their work completely, and treat time like it’s the one thing you can’t get back - because it is. They say what they mean, finish what they start, and hold themselves to a standard before anyone has to ask. We push each other to be better, and we do it with honesty and respect.
