## About the role

The AI Applications Engineer sits at the intersection of robotics, AI, and hands-on field work. You're not a pure software engineer and you're not a pure hardware engineer -- you're the person who can look at a manufacturing challenge, figure out how computer vision or a language model makes the robot smarter, and then actually build and deploy the solution.

## What they're looking for

- - Robot programming proficiency or adjacent software experience -- if you can write Python without an AI agent, you can probably program a robot having never touched one before
- - Prior robotics knowledge -- anything from high school robotics to professional manipulation experience, we care that you've actually worked with robots, not just read about them
- - Surface-level fluency in ML models and techniques -- you can have a real conversation about convolutional neural networks, object detection, and visual language models without Googling the definitions mid-sentence
- - Technical proficiency in an engineering environment -- you write documentation, manage your own projects, work well with a team, and don't need someone watching over your shoulder
- - Willingness to travel -- up to 50% domestically right now, that number will come down as we grow
- - Mechanical Design -- pneumatics, camera mounts, end-of-arm tooling for manipulators, bonus points if you've designed a gripper
