Zusammenfassung

Laelaps AI Ltd. in Zürich is seeking an experienced Hardware Lead to build and own the hardware function from the ground up.

You will define hardware strategy across ground, aerial, and stationary platforms and take ownership of the physical robots that run our field foundation models. Expect to be deeply hands-on during the first year, building, testing, and iterating on real platforms, while growing a hardware team as the company scales.

Qualifikationen

• 8+ years in robotics, autonomous systems, or adjacent hardware, with at least one product taken from prototype into the field.
• Deep expertise across mechanical, electrical, and systems integration; world-class in at least one, strong in the others.
• Hands-on experience taking robots through prototype, DVT, PVT, and into production.
• Track record of ruggedizing hardware for outdoor, all-weather, or harsh environments.
• Experience managing manufacturing partners and supply chains.
• Strong systems thinker. You reason cleanly across mechanical, electrical, firmware, and software boundaries.

Aufgaben

• Hardware strategy: platform choices (build vs. partner vs. integrate) across ground robots, drones, and stationary sensors.
• Mechanical design: chassis, mounting, and ruggedization for outdoor security deployments.
• Electrical and electromechanical systems: power, compute, actuation, sensing integration.
• Sensor integration (cameras, LiDAR, IMU, GPS, audio): selection, calibration, and physical integration.
• Manufacturing and supply chain: prototype-to-production pipeline, vendor management, BOM ownership.
• Field reliability: environmental qualification, MTBF, failure analysis, and durability programs.
• Hiring: build the hardware team behind you as the product scales.
