Redefining Robotic Intelligence. Backed by Khosla.
About the role
You'll be the first engineer in the loop when something goes wrong on a deployed robot. When the field or operations team hits an issue they can't resolve, they come to you. You'll triage incoming faults and alerts, debug across the full stack: hardware, embedded, software, sensors, networking, to find the fastest safe path back to operation, and pull in the right domain experts when an issue runs deep.
What they're looking for
- • Strong systematic debugging of complex systems — the ability to reason from symptoms to root cause and reverse-engineer unexpected behavior
- • Comfortable in Linux and the command line, and reading logs, telemetry, and system data
- • Coding proficiency in Python and/or C/C++ (Bash a plus)
- • Clear written and verbal communication, and calm judgment under pressure
- • Willingness to take part in an on-call rotation, including some nights and weekends as the fleet grows
- • 3+ years working with robotic, autonomous, automotive, aerospace, or industrial-automation systems in an engineering, reliability, or support capacity
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.
