Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Own the end-to-end partner platform for Rhoda's robot foundation models: define APIs, tooling, integration boundaries, partner qualification, developer experience, documentation, and roadmap while working directly with partner engineering teams.

Optimize inference performance of large multimodal foundation models across cloud and on-robot targets. Diagnose bottlenecks, apply quantization/pruning/distillation, tune kernels (CUDA/Triton), build benchmarking and regression detection, and translate research models into deployment-ready implementations.

Build internal frontend interfaces, backend services, and tooling connecting cloud, data pipelines, and robot fleets. Own observability, scalability, and reliability of platform tools, collaborate with researchers and engineers, and integrate storage, APIs, and deployment/teleoperation systems.

Develop and maintain real-time perception pipelines for humanoid robots: sensor integration and calibration, object detection/tracking, low-latency streaming to models and teleop, safety-certified perception, field bring-up, and reliability/fault recovery.

Design, prototype, and integrate mechanical components for a Gen 0 humanoid robot. Work includes CAD modeling, BOM creation, end effector and mount design, third-party component integration, QA testing, and root-cause analysis. Collaborate with cross-functional engineers and support manufacturing handoffs with a focus on safety, reliability, and manufacturability.

Own and develop low-level real-time firmware for distributed humanoid robot control over EtherCAT. Design deterministic communication and synchronization (<1ms), implement safety mechanisms, tune RTOS and DMA/ISR paths, configure EtherCAT masters/slaves, collaborate across hardware and controls teams, and develop unit/HIL/integration tests and documentation for firmware validation and bring-up.

Lead architecture and delivery of multi-sensor imaging and perception systems: select and integrate cameras, ToF, radar, LiDAR, and thermal sensors; own camera signal chain and ISP tuning; design illumination and sensor fusion hardware; ensure signal integrity, EMI/EMC, and production readiness through EVT/DVT/PVT to mass production; collaborate cross-functionally and mentor engineers.

Lead full-cycle HR for a fast-growing robotics startup: manage onboarding/offboarding, HRIS integrity, benefits and compensation, performance and L&D programs, culture and engagement, compliance and multi-state employment law, and coordinate visa sponsorship and immigration processes.

Design, build, and maintain automated test plans, fixtures, and infrastructure across unit, integration, system, and hardware-in-the-loop layers. Extend CI/CD pipelines, define quality metrics and KPIs, track coverage and failures, and participate in design/code reviews to improve observability, testability, and reliability of the robotics software stack.

Lead hardware engineering to design, develop, validate, and scale robotic systems from concept to volume production. Define architecture, oversee mechanical/electrical/system design, test and certification, NPI, supplier relationships, and build a high-performing hardware organization focused on reliability, safety, and manufacturability.
