About Rhoda

Redefining Robotic Intelligence. Backed by Khosla.

About the 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.

What they're looking for

  • 10+ years mass-produced electromechanical product development experience
  • B.S. in Robotics, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering or Computer Science
  • Data collection and analysis methodologies - data acquisition and instrumentation, data conversion and analysis using Python or statistical tools, data presentation
  • Proven experience in systems safety engineering, including HARA, DFMEA, FTA, STPA and safety case development for complex electromechanical systems with significant robotic aspect
  • Proven track record of complex safety-critical product development from inception to mass production, including passing through safety certification
  • Proven experience deriving safety requirements for a robotic system through analysis and experimentation
