## Description

As a Solution Engineer, you own the systems-engineering work that turns a successful POC into a production deployment. Taking the lead once a customer issues a purchase order, you'll translate customer requirements into a production solution, design the workflow and work cell, and integrate Rhoda's robots and AI model with the customer's environment - sensors, conveyors, PLCs, and MES. You'll carry the solution through Factory Acceptance Testing, commissioning, and Site Acceptance Testing., * Gather, define, and negotiate customer requirements for production, including throughput, uptime, safety, and acceptance criteria.

 * Conduct feasibility analysis (including simulation) and provide proposal review and feedback during the PO stage.
 * Design production workflows and work cells, including layout, safety, material flow, and operator interaction.
 * Lead system integration planning with the customer environment - sensors, conveyors, PLCs, MES, and other plant systems.
 * Integrate Rhoda's AI model with task-related tooling and partner with Application Engineers on task engineering and strategy.
 * Own the overall solution strategy and author workflow SOPs for production operations.
 * Define solution requirements, shaping both product and site readiness ahead of the deployment.
 * Measure and report system performance through FAT and SAT, and support on-site commissioning.
 * Feed production learnings back to product and engineering to shape the roadmap.
