• Analyze collected data to help improve our software and hardware
• Keep engineering in the loop with clear, useful feedback

• Deep experience managing complex integrations or robotics systems: 5+ years with a BS or 3+ years with an MS
• Proven ability to lead technical rollouts spanning hardware, software, and on-site operations
• Ability to explain complex technology to audiences from the warehouse floor to the boardroom
Nice-to-haves:
• Experience refining processes so they scale across sites
• CAD for site planning, enterprise networking, and Python or C++ APIs
