About the Role
As Tekton Dynamic’s Founding Engineer, you’ll operate as a core member of our multi-disciplinary product engineering team. You'll be researching, planning, and developing systems and software across our entire engineering stack. You’ll design, build, and maintain core systems that fuse software, hardware and networks. You’ll be both in the weeds with deeply technical subject matter across software, robotics, and AI — and hands-on installing vision sensors, industrial robots, and welding equipment in our R&D lab and our customers’ production facilities.
Responsibilities
- Researching, planning, and developing systems and software across the entire engineering stack.
- Designing, building, and maintaining core systems that fuse software, hardware and networks.
- Installing vision sensors, industrial robots, and welding equipment in R&D labs and customer production facilities.
- Processing 3D CAD models into efficient data structures.
- Creating declarative representations of complex industrial processes.
- Installing, calibrating, and optimizing vision sensor capture and fusion pipelines.
- Training and deploying computer vision models for processing 2D/3D images.
- Tuning and optimizing robot motion planning and collision avoidance stack.
- Building and training AI/machine learning based systems to handle real-world welding scenarios.
- Designing and constructing sensor enclosures to protect sensors and edge devices.
- Designing robust network architectures with redundancy to ensure always-on and secure access to edge devices.
- Engaging external vendors and integrators to plan and install robotic cells.
Requirements
- 3+ years shipping software in highly technical startup environments.
- “T-shaped” systems and software generalist.
- Designed, built and deployed software as part of an engineering team.
- Comfortable and confident in debugging messy reality: edge networks, hardware calibration, sim-to-real gap.
- Proven team player, clear communicator; you think from first principles, you identify assumptions and test them methodically, you question the ‘why’ behind every decision.
- Familiarity with training and evaluating machine learning pipelines.
- Experience in harsh industrial settings (welding/fabrication/heavy industry).
- Experience as a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE).
- Robotics and/or computer vision experience.
- Edge compute deployments, latency optimization and reliability monitoring.
