TL;DR · Robotics & Physical AI Architect

As a Robotics & Physical AI Architect, you will define the technical architecture for a large-scale robotics platform supporting heterogeneous robots, AI workloads, cloud services, and edge environments. You will establish reference architectures, canonical APIs, and integration patterns to enable multiple engineering teams to build on a consistent foundation. Your daily work involves designing scalable systems for fleet management, digital twins, mission planning, and secure telemetry across distributed environments. You will utilize technologies including ROS 2, DDS, MQTT, OPC-UA, VDA5050, and OpenRMF, while working with C++, Go, Java, Python, or Rust. The role focuses on the technical challenge of creating a unified control plane for diverse robot types—such as humanoids, drones, and industrial systems—while operationalizing multimodal AI, Vision-Language-Action models, and reinforcement learning within complex infrastructure to solve problems in physical AI and autonomous operations.

What you'll do

  • Define the long-term technical architecture and strategy for robotics and physical AI platforms across cloud, edge, and on-device environments.
  • Design scalable systems for fleet management, robot identity, provisioning, and device lifecycle management.
  • Architect secure communication protocols, including Zero Trust, authentication, and authorization for robot-to-cloud interactions.
  • Develop canonical APIs, SDKs, and integration patterns to support heterogeneous robot types and enterprise systems.
  • Partner with AI researchers to operationalize multimodal models, reinforcement learning, and world models for physical AI.
  • Build scalable data platforms for simulation, telemetry, analytics, and iterative AI model improvement.
  • Establish interoperability standards using robotics middleware such as ROS 2, DDS, MQTT, and OPC-UA.
  • Drive technical direction across multiple engineering teams to ensure a consistent platform foundation.

What we're looking for

  • BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • 15+ years of software engineering experience with significant expertise in architecting large-scale distributed systems.
  • Deep expertise in cloud-native architecture, APIs, event-driven systems, microservices, and distributed platform design.
  • Proficiency in programming languages such as C++, Go, Java, Python, or Rust.
  • Experience with Kubernetes, containers, Linux, networking, and modern cloud platforms.
  • Strong understanding of system security, including authentication, authorization, and Zero Trust architecture.
  • Experience designing systems for high availability and fault tolerance across cloud and edge environments.
  • Experience with robotics-specific technologies like ROS 2, DDS, MQTT, or simulation platforms (preferred).
