Founding Mission Autonomy Engineer — Robot Behavior & Decision-Making

Andromeda-Robotics; San Francisco (CA); Vor Ort; USD 200.000 - 240.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Andromeda is building the social intelligence layer for humanoid robots. We seek a Mission Autonomy engineer to found the MA team, architect Abi’s long-duration decision-making, and coordinate with voice, perception, and platform groups.

You will drive architecture, prototyping, and evaluation across simulation and real-world experiments. You will balance research with practical robotics, shaping interfaces, contracts, and deployment patterns to enable Abi to operate autonomously over multi-hour

Qualifikationen

• 5+ years building autonomous systems with an MS/PhD or equivalent practical experience.
• Deployment lifecycle experience from concept through deployment and operations in robotics.
• Proficiency with ROS 2, Nav2, and simulation tools (Isaac Sim, Gazebo, MuJoCo).

Aufgaben

• Design the Mission Autonomy system architecture for Abi and shape its roadmap.
• Prototype the mission autonomy loop in simulation early to guide architecture decisions.
• Co-design and build simulation capabilities with the simulation engineer.
• Own the technical direction across autonomy, chatbot, perception, audio and platform teams.
• Define and refine action primitives, interfaces, and contracts across teams.
• Design for degradation to keep Abi safe, useful and with her character.
• Establish repeatable deployment patterns from simulation to demonstrations on Abi.
• Build an evaluation system with benchmarks and metrics for long-horizon missions.
