Tech Lead, Robotic Fleet Deployment & Infra

Garuda Ventures; Palo Alto (CA); On-site; USD 180,000 - 280,000; Full time

Job summary

Mind Robotics is building generalized physical AI for real-world industrial deployment, starting with factory floors. We seek a Tech Lead to own fleet deployment, testing infrastructure, and observability for our field robots.

You will build and harden the systems that deploy software safely at scale, and ship these tools personally. This IC-heavy role emphasizes hands-on development, from build artifact to running process on remote robots, with a focus on reliability, monitoring, and

Qualifications

• Proficient in Python and/or Rust/C++, able to build tooling and services.
• Experience with fleet/device management systems: OTA updates, versioning, staged rollout and remote config.
• Hands-on hardware-in-the-loop testing and simulation-based regression suites; CI/CD gates beyond unit tests.
• Observability engineering for edge deployments: telemetry pipelines, structured logging, alerting.
• Containerization and edge orchestration for deploying software onto heterogeneous robot compute.
• Track record of maturing deployment/testing systems from ad hoc to repeatable scales with growing units/sites.

Responsibilities

• Architect fleet-wide deployment: OTA updates, versioned rollouts, staged/canary releases, rollbacks, and config management across hardware.
• Design and build testing infrastructure: HIL tests, simulation-based regression testing, and pre-deployment validation gates.
• Build and evolve the fleet management platform with tools, dashboards, and APIs to track inventory, software versions, health, and deployment status.
• Own CI/CD pipelines that gate deployment on more than unit tests from build to running process on a remote robot.
• Set technical standards and perform deep design/code reviews across deployment, testing, and dev ops.
• Collaborate with engineering and research to build tools that increase team velocity.
• Design logging infrastructure and visualization tooling for operators.
