Base Career helps you apply smarter for this job.
Own the technical vision and system architecture for Perception that enables safety and efficiency, defining how Digit will perceive and reason about humans and hazards as it expands from structured work cells into open, dynamic environments
Analyze key architectural tradeoffs across sensing modalities, model design, redundancy, and compute budget, balancing safety, latency, and real-world robustness
Stay hands-on with development to prototype, validate, or build critical pieces yourself
Partner with functional safety and systems engineering to define the safety case strategy, identifying what architecture and evidence will be required
Support failure mode and hazard analysis at the system level, shaping which risks the architecture must design around
Evaluate emerging research and technology, and decide what's worth adopting into future robot architectures
Set standards for verification and validation of ML-based perception systems, especially for rare and safety-critical scenarios
Collaborate across navigation, controls, and hardware to make sure the perception architecture serves the whole robot
Act as a senior technical mentor and partner to engineers and technical leads across the organization, and represent the architecture to executive leadership, partners, and customers as needed
