Company Overview

The company is developing AI-powered robotics and physical automation systems for deployment in customer facilities.

Job Description

The company is seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer to support the deployment of robotics AI systems in customer environments. The engineer will own deployment activities from initial data collection and model fine-tuning through physical system setup, production monitoring, troubleshooting, and operational feedback.

This hands-on role requires practical experience across hardware, software, perception systems, and production integrations. The engineer will work directly in customer facilities, identify and resolve deployment challenges, and translate real-world operational data and failure modes into improvements for the underlying models.

Responsibilities

  • Lead deployment cycles, including data collection, model fine-tuning, physical system setup, and production monitoring.
  • Diagnose and resolve hardware, software, perception, and integration issues in field and production environments.
  • Collect operational data and identify failure modes to inform foundation model training and architecture.
  • Troubleshoot integrations across perception hardware, compute stacks, and edge deployment environments.
  • Travel to customer sites across the United States and adapt to changing deployment schedules.

Qualifications

  • Two to eight years of hands-on experience deploying robotics or automation systems in factory, warehouse, or logistics environments.
  • Experience in field engineering, forward deployed engineering, robotics deployment, machine learning or AI operations, or customer-facing technical roles.
  • Practical debugging experience with perception hardware, such as cameras, depth sensors, tactile sensors, or pressure sensors.
  • Some exposure to Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models or learned robot policies; academic or laboratory experience is also relevant.
  • Ability to work hands-on across hardware and software, taking ownership of tasks from data collection through production fixes.
  • Willingness to travel 50% to 75% of the time.
  • Ability to work from the San Francisco office approximately three days per week.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with GPU compute stacks and edge deployment environments.
  • Korean language proficiency.

Work Arrangement and Travel Requirements

  • The role is based on-site in San Francisco.
  • The engineer is expected to work from the San Francisco office approximately three days per week.
  • Travel to customer sites across the United States is expected, with an estimated travel commitment of 50% to 75%.
  • Deployment schedules may change based on customer and operational requirements.
