## About the Role

Do you have experience in Systems integration?, * 6+ years of engineering experience on complex products, with a track record of shipping systems that carry real operational and economic consequences. Direct robotics experience is not required - we welcome candidates from adjacent complex-systems domains (e.g., aerospace, automotive, medical devices, industrial automation)

 * Deep expertise in system architecture, design trades, requirements definition, and interface design
 * Experience planning and executing V&V campaigns for complex systems
 * Fluency across hardware, software, controls, and operations, with deep knowledge in one or more of: electronics, embedded software, distributed software, mechatronics, or mechanical systems
 * Ability to reason rigorously about cost, scaling, and unit economics
 * First-principles thinker who is data-driven, decisive under uncertainty, and operates with high ownership and low ego

Nice to Have:

 * Experience in safety or mission critical industries
 * Experience working directly with customers or regulators during development and delivery
 * Hands-on experience testing complex electromechanical and software systems in the lab or in the field
 * Hands-on experience in a manufacturing environment
 * Experience owning regulatory compliance activities (e.g., IEC, UL, FCC)

## Description

You'll architect a mission-critical autonomous robotic system and drive decisions at the intersection of hardware, software, business and customer needs. You'll guide cross-function teams through a systems lens - using rigorous, data-driven analysis to sharpen execution. Together, we'll scale our robots to high-volume production and bring reliable pharmacy automation to patients nationwide.

What You Bring:

 * System Architecture & Technical Leadership:
 + Own the end-to-end architecture, defining requirements, interfaces, and performance budgets
 + Act as the technical integrator across hardware, software, controls, manufacturing, and operations
 + Resolve ambiguity through structured analysis and clear decision making
 + Balance performance, reliability, manufacturability, cost, and customer/unit-economic constraints
 * Model-Driven Tradeoffs:
 + Build and maintain system-level models for performance, throughput, reliability and cost.
 + Apply first-principles reasoning, simulation, and quantitative trade studies to architectural decisions
 + Update assumptions and margins as manufacturing and field data come in.
 * Scale, Verification & Reliability
 + Architect for high-volume manufacturing and nationwide deployment, driving system-level DFM/DFA.
 + Design for variability, serviceability, logistics, and field reliability
 + Define V&V strategy, lead integration, bring-up, FMEA, and root-cause analysis
 + Hold the bar for safety, uptime, and real-world robustness.
