You’re not just another engineer. You’re a problem-solver, a creative, and someone who thrives on autonomy.

How often do you get to shape the future of a company from the ground up? Here, you’ll have ownership from Day One - no red tape, no micromanagement, just trust in your expertise. You’ll work alongside brilliant minds, tackling some of the world’s hardest engineering challenges in robotics, computer vision, and AI.

This is your chance to build something meaningful. The growing wave of sensors, robots, and autonomous systems promises a safer, more productive world but only if the software and AI behind them align with our values. You’ll be at the heart of this mission, designing and deploying models that solve real-world problems.

• 4+ years of experience applying ML in areas like scene understanding, multi-modal sensing, control/path planning, or vision-language understanding
• An MSc or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Robotics, or a related field
• Proficiency in Python, Rust, C/C++, or Java, and frameworks like PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX

Why join?

• Elite team: Collaborate with world-class engineers and founders who are as hands-on as you are
