About the Role

Lead the Cell Platform team, responsible for everything between firmware and application software on the robot cell, including hardware, sensors, cameras, computes, networking, OS, middleware, data transport, provisioning, and fleet infrastructure. This is a player-coach role where you will define the roadmap and hire engineers.

Responsibilities

• Own the Cell Platform product roadmap and releases.
• Manage relationships with teams depending on the Cell Platform.
• Be hands-on-keyboard from day one.
• Hire engineers for the Cell Platform team.
• Build and ship platforms on fleets of robots deployed into production.
• Manage OTA updates on remote hardware.
• Debug failures without physical access.
• Maintain reliability against customer expectations.
• Integrate a multitude of sensor types at the driver, SDK, and middleware-wrapper levels.
• Design and run sensor evaluations.
• Configure and validate real-time Linux kernels, CPU isolation, IRQ affinity, and RT scheduling policies.
• Reason about functional and optimal data transport on single-compute and distributed-compute architectures.
• Source, bring up, and qualify sensors/computes/networking on real robots.
• Own a Bill of Materials (BOM) and work with mechanical/electrical engineering.
• Design container images deliberately.
• Orchestrate multi-container systems on robot computes.
• Build CI/CD pipelines.
• Manage artifact/registry.
• Implement versioned release discipline.
• Manage OTA at fleet scale.
• Manage provisioning at fleet scale.
• Ensure device observability.

Requirements

• Built and shipped platforms on fleets of robots deployed into production for real customers.
• Experience with surviving OTA updates on remote hardware.
• Experience debugging failures without physical access.
• Experience maintaining reliability against customer expectations rather than internal deadlines.
