Job description

Our work

We are a well capitalized stealth VC-backed startup building a new type of spatial AI capable of universally solving autonomy. We innovate at the foundational layer of AI by training our own AI models.

Our team

Our team is composed of AI pioneers and leaders from Google X, Google Brain, and Space Agencies. Several of us are repeat founders, with deep commercialization insights across multiple enterprise segments. We enjoy long, deep ideations around entirely unexplored AI use cases in autonomy (cars, drones, robots).

Location

San Diego (onsite). Active Field Testing.

Technical Skills

• Hands-on robotics prototyping: Experience designing, assembling, and iterating on ground/aerial robotic platforms, including mechanical components, motors, actuators, and custom mechanisms.
• Embedded systems and programming: Experience with microcontrollers (e.g., Arduino, ESP32, or STM32), sensors, motor drivers, and programming in C/C++ or Python.
• Mechanical fabrication: Familiarity with CAD, 3D printing, workshop tools, and rapid prototyping of custom robotic components.
• Electronics and soldering: Proficient in soldering, wiring, crimping, connector assembly, and troubleshooting electronic circuits and power systems.
• System integration and debugging: Ability to integrate mechanical, electrical, and software components into functional robotic systems and independently troubleshoot hardware and software issues.
