Job summary

Our partner is seeking a Strategic Projects Lead (Robotics) to own robotics data pipelines end-to-end, from capture to delivery, ensuring quality, scalability, and efficiency. You will collaborate with engineering, operations, and finance to drive execution on high-impact programs in a remote-first setup.

The role requires hands-on work with sensors, multi-camera rigs, and large-scale data processing, plus strong cross-functional communication and ownership in ambiguous environments.

Qualifications

• Strong experience with robotics or high-throughput data pipelines.
• Hands-on with sensor systems, FPS constraints, and multi-camera setups.
• Analytical and systems-oriented; able to optimize cost vs speed vs quality.
• Clear communicator across technical and non-technical teams.
• Experience with large-scale data processing, storage, and delivery systems.
• Proven ability to define schemas, protocols, and operational standards.
• Track record of driving cross-functional execution and improving systems.
• High ownership, fast execution, and comfort in ambiguous environments.

Responsibilities

• Own robotics data pipelines end-to-end with clear accountability for quality and delivery.
• Design and optimize large-scale data collection and processing pipelines.
• Scale operations by balancing cost, quality, and throughput.
• Deploy and manage hardware systems (multi-camera rigs, RGB/stereo/IMU sensors).
• Lead data transformation pipelines aligned with strict client schemas and formats.
• Identify bottlenecks and build automation for validation, QA, and reporting.
• Define and enforce capture protocols, workflows, and operational standards.
• Translate client requirements into executable systems and processes.
• Work closely with engineering, operations, and finance to drive execution.
