Reliability Engineer — AI-Driven Robotics Fleet

OpenMind; San Francisco (CA); On-site; USD 150,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

OpenMind in San Francisco is seeking a reliability engineer to architect testing, simulation, and observability infrastructure for autonomous systems. You will measure how often features fail and build automated reports that show reliability every morning.

You will work with Python/Go/C++ and robotics simulators, drive enterprise SLAs, and help define standards as we scale from lab prototypes to deployed fleets.

Qualifications

• Experience in reliability engineering, test infrastructure, SRE, or simulation for autonomous systems
• Strong engineering fundamentals in languages such as Python, Go, and/or C++
• Experience with robotics simulation environments (Isaac Sim, Gazebo, MuJoCo, or proprietary equivalents)
• A demonstrated obsession with measurement: you do not trust a system until you have quantified how it fails
• The interpersonal skill to hold a high bar without becoming the person everyone avoids. Rigor with warmth is the job

Responsibilities

• Build large-scale simulation pipelines that regression test every change against realistic deployed environments before release
• Design and run structured reliability measurements: failure rates, mean time between failures, and degradation across hardware variants
• Build fleet observability: telemetry ingestion, automated log collection, and AI-assisted scoring of robot performance at scale
• Create the automated test harness that delivers a failure report on every engineer's desk each morning
• Replay new software against our growing corpus of real-world deployment data to validate changes before they ship
• Establish reliability and safety standards as we move into certifications, insurance requirements, and enterprise SLAs
