You sit at the intersection of customers, product, and engineering, giving you outsized influence on what we build and why
You'll work on cutting edge robotic vision systems used at massive scale
You'll have the autonomy to shape how we engage with customers and define our products
You'll be part of a collaborative team that values curiosity, ownership, and getting things right for the customer
If you love solving real problems for real users and want to help define the future of robotic perception, we'd love to hear from you.
Key job responsibilities
Lead customer engagements to discover application needs and translate them into clear, actionable system requirements and acceptance criteria
Own the requirements lifecycle from discovery through specification, traceability, and validation across sensing and compute domains
Partner with the Senior Technical Lead and Product Manager to inform product roadmap priorities using customer insights and competitive intelligence
Define application-level system requirements spanning sensor, compute, and software integration
Conduct technology benchmarking and competitive analysis to deliver build vs buy recommendations
Drive cross-functional alignment across hardware, firmware, optical, electrical, software, and manufacturing teams
Mentor engineers on requirements engineering, customer engagement, and application-level thinking
A day in the life
Your primary focus is being the technical bridge between our customers and engineering teams. Most mornings you'll sync with the technical leads to align on priorities, then spend time with customers running discovery sessions and gathering requirements. Afternoons shift to documenting specifications, benchmarking competitor solutions, and working with engineers across optics, firmware, and software to make sure everyone understands what we're building and why. Beyond the day to day, you'll also shape product direction, mentor teammates, and occasionally travel for on-site application assessments. No two days look the same, and that's what makes it exciting.
