Senior Mechanical Engineer, Vehicle Integration & Validation

About the role

Teleo, a Havoc company, is a robotics company that transforms construction heavy equipment, including loaders, dozers, excavators, and trucks, into autonomous robots for commercial and defense applications. Our technology enables a single operator to supervise and control multiple machines simultaneously, delivering significant productivity gains while improving operator safety and comfort.

Teleo was founded by a team of experienced technology leaders who previously led the development of Lyft's Self-Driving Car program and Google Street View. Teleo recently announced its merger with Havoc AI, a fast-growing defense technology company developing coordinated fleets of autonomous maritime vessels.

This is a unique opportunity to join a team building technology with real-world impact. You will work on cutting-edge 100,000-pound autonomous robots and engineer complex systems at the intersection of hardware, software, robotics, and AI.

About the Role

As a Senior Vehicle Systems Integration Engineer, you will own the architectural integrity and field robustness of Teleo’s autonomy retrofit system across multiple heavy equipment platforms.

This is a high-impact position where you will go beyond routine execution to shape hardware architecture, drive environmental qualification strategies, and establish more rigorous standards for integration and validation.

You will collaborate closely with our existing senior engineers to navigate cross-functional design tradeoffs, helping the team evolve our systems for better reusability and certification readiness as we scale.

The role also includes approximately 10% travel within the United States
