Redefining Robotic Intelligence. Backed by Khosla.
About the role
Architect end-to-end imaging and sensing subsystems , including camera selection, optics interface, illumination, and electrical integration, to meet product-level performance, power, and cost targets. Drive camera and sensor selection across CMOS image sensors, ToF, mmWave radar, LiDAR, and thermal modules — evaluating resolution, FOV, sensitivity, dynamic range, frame rate, latency, and SWaP (size, weight, and power).
What they're looking for
- B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Applied Physics, or a related field
- Staff level: 10+ years of relevant industry experience designing electrical/sensor subsystems for shipping products
- Principal level: 15+ years with a demonstrated track record of leading the technical direction of multiple high-volume sensor-based products
- NVIDIA platform experience — Jetson (Orin, Xavier), DRIVE, or other NVIDIA SoC/GPU platforms used for camera and perception workloads
- Other high-end GPU / accelerator exposure — Qualcomm, Ambarella, AMD, or comparable platforms for vision and AI inference at the edge
- FPGA exposure — familiarity with FPGA-based sensor interfacing, bridging, and prototyping (Xilinx/AMD, Intel/Altera, Lattice). Embedded HDL coding is not required, an architectural and integration-level understanding is sufficient
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.
We are seeking a Staff or Principal Member of Technical Staff (MTS) – Electrical to lead the architecture, design, and technical execution of advanced multi-sensor imaging and perception systems. This is a senior individual-contributor role for an electrical engineer with deep, hands-on expertise across camera and imaging pipelines, depth and ranging sensors (ToF, Radar, LiDAR), thermal imaging, and the surrounding electrical and signal-integrity considerations that make these systems work in production.
The successful candidate will set the technical...
