Chief Robotics Platform Architect & Tech Lead

If you know you're capable of more than your role today is asking of you, read this.

You're good at what you do. But somewhere in the back of your mind, you're wondering if there's a role out there that would actually stretch you. Let's start with the primary engineering challenge:

How do we design an open robotics platform that remains stable and reliable, even as completely different sensors, payloads and autonomy systems and continuously integrated onto it?

Interesting? Here's what the company does:

They build autonomous robotic platforms, designed to go where it's dangerous to send people. Their robots operate in environments that range from industrial inspection to national security, and they're already in the field.

Purchase orders are coming in, deployments are happening, and an investor recently described them as "one of the youngest companies with the most market traction he'd ever seen."

This summer, they're deciding what the next generation of platform looks like. They need to bring in a CTO to help make that call.

• Owning the technology. Maturing the software, controls, embedded systems, getting everything talking reliably.
• Shaping the roadmap for what gets built next. Working directly with the CEO, who'll increasingly be out meeting customers and deploying globally.
• You'll be setting your own vision, not managing someone else's vision.

• Strong software depth across embedded, controls, build systems.
• Some exposure to autonomy, even at a theoretical level.
• Rust or C++ experience. ROS 2 familiarity is a bonus.
• You'll have led a small team at some point, even informally.

No specific title required. No particular university required.
