• Travel occasionally to partner sites.

What We’re Looking For

• Three to ten years of experience in a technical customer-facing role, such as solutions engineering, forward deployed engineering, technical consulting, technical product, or technical partnerships.

• A background in computer science, electrical engineering, robotics, or a related field, or equivalent hands-on engineering experience.

• Experience engaging deeply with machine learning and robotics engineers and explaining technical systems.

• Experience owning commercial conversations and negotiating pilot or partnership terms with large organizations.

• Background in deep tech, robotics, AI infrastructure, or enterprise software, with a strong interest in physical AI and robotics.

• Korean or Japanese language skills are a plus.

• Must be authorized to work in the United States or have an H-1B visa eligible for transfer.
