About Mind:
Mind Robotics is building Physical AI for real-world industrial deployment, starting with the factory floor. We believe the hardest problems in AI are solved when researchers and engineers are hands-on with the physical world every day - and we're looking for people who are passionate about robotics, value ownership, and are excited to tackle difficult problems. Join us if you want to move beyond digital intelligence and put intelligence into motion.
The Role:
At Mind Robotics, we're building generalized physical AI — robotic systems capable of dexterous, adaptive, and reasoning-intensive work in real-world industrial environments. That depends on a runtime platform that lets robots perceive, decide, and act under hard real-time constraints.
We're looking for a Tech Lead to lead the development for this runtime: how the robotics and AI modules communicate and execute under tight latency budgets. This is an IC-heavy role: you're in the codebase daily, making the hard latency and correctness tradeoffs yourself, not delegating them.
This is a role for someone who wants to own the hardest problems in real-time robotics software and onboard model serving, and ship them personally.
Responsibilities:
- Design and build the robotics runtime/middleware layer – including topic/message architecture, QoS policies, and multi-process communication under tight latency budgets
- Own the inference-serving path for onboard models (VLA/action-expert policies): batching, quantization, hardware acceleration, and the tradeoffs between model accuracy and control-loop latency
- Architect multi-sensor synchronization and fusion arriving on different clocks and cadences, kept coherent enough for closed-loop control
- Make and own the hard technical calls on middleware choice, process/thread architecture, and how much real-time guarantee any given subsystem actually needs
