  • Work with US leadership to scope and negotiate pilot and partnership terms.
  • Work from the San Francisco office about three days per week and occasionally travel 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 equivalent hands-on engineering experience, with the ability to engage deeply with machine learning and robotics teams.
  • Experience owning commercial conversations and negotiating pilot or partnership terms with large enterprises.
  • Experience in deep tech, robotics, AI infrastructure, or enterprise software, and genuine interest in physical AI and robotics.
  • Korean or Japanese language skills are a plus.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Market-rate compensation based on experience and seniority, plus early-stage equity.
  • The salary range has not been specified.
  • Candidates must have US work authorization or an H-1B visa that can be transferred.

Location

Hybrid, based in San Francisco, California, with on-site work about three days per week and occasional travel to partner sites. Candidates must be based in or willing to relocate to the San Francisco Bay Area.
