Principal Solutions Architect – Robotics & Voice Location: California Bay Area Voice AI is reshaping how robots work in the real world, and we are responding to a deep unmet need: giving mobile service robots a voice that holds up against the demands of latency, patchy connectivity, and noisy, unpredictable environments. This is about opening new markets from the ground up. To do it, we are bringing together a team that combines the top commercial and technical talent, with the domain expertise these markets demand. The pace is fast, the technology is new and exciting, and your work moves the business. Your Impact Engage senior technical decision-makers at robotics companies building the next generation of physical AI in mobile and service robotics, from startups to mid-sized players to established names. Own the technical core of every opportunity: understand how our voice solution runs on the customer’s hardware, design how it fits, and work through the hard questions that keep a deal moving. Clear the technical roadblocks between interest and a signed deal, turning evaluations into commitments. Work hand in hand with sales, product, and professional services, translating what you learn in the field into how we sell, deliver, and build. Shape the product itself, feeding real customer hardware and conditions back into what we build next. Why Join the Team You get in early on a market about to scale, and help define how voice for mobile service robots is won. This is a new business, so you help shape the solution itself. How it works in the real world, on real customer hardware, is still being defined, in large part by you. You bring the autonomy of a start-up and the credibility of an established company to every conversation, with the capital, customer relationships, technology, and brand behind you. Decisions come fast, obstacles get cleared, and you hold real authority over your part of the business. Your impact is rewarded directly, with real financial upside tied to the deals you support.
