Redefining Robotic Intelligence. Backed by Khosla.
About the role
As Rhoda's Field Deployment Lead for the US, you will own the end-to-end execution of robot deployments: site preparation and installation through commissioning, Site Acceptance Test (SAT) sign-off, and transition to steady-state operations run from our Remote Operations Center (ROC). You will also support and travel to other geographies outside of the US, including Europe (principally Germany to start) and Asia.
What they're looking for
- Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a related field, or equivalent hands-on industrial experience
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in industrial robotics or industrial automation deployment, commissioning, or field engineering
- Hands-on electro-mechanical troubleshooting skills: confident with a multimeter and oscilloscope, and working with VFDs, PLCs, sensors, actuators, and wiring in an industrial environment
- Proven track record executing FAT/SAT processes and commissioning robotic or automation systems at industrial customer sites
- Linux command-line proficiency, comfortable reading Python scripts and shell commands, basic Docker/container operations
- ROS or ROS2 experience, or an equivalent industrial automation background with genuine willingness to learn ROS2 quickly
More about this role
At Rhoda AI, we’re building the next generation of generalist intelligent robots. We own the full robotics stack from high-performance hardware and robot systems to the infrastructure and state-of-the-art foundation world models that control our robots. Our robots are designed to be generalists capable of operating in complex, real-world environments and handling long-tail edge cases, made possible by our cutting edge research and end-to-end system design. We've raised over $450M and are investing aggressively in model research, infrastructure, hardware development, and manufacturing scale-up to make generalist robotics a reality.
Heavy travel: international rotation to Germany for the first assignment (October 2026 through January 2027), then US customer sites at 50%+ with multi-week on-site blocks during production ramps. Open to remote start given the amount of travel. Start: as soon as possible, target October 2026.
