Tech Lead - Product
AI Summary
Tech Lead for the Product team, architecting and leading the development of a GenAI-powered simulation and visualization platform. Mentors engineers, makes build-vs-buy decisions, and drives scalable ML-integrated systems.
About this role
Join Us in Building the Future of Physical AI
We build the simulation infrastructure for physical AI. We develop GenAI-powered tools that enable robotics teams to create unlimited, diverse training data and realistic evaluation environments. Our team spun out of MIT CSAIL, where we pioneered techniques that trained robots using only synthetic data. We're helping robotics companies transition to AI-native development workflows.
We're a lean team of researchers and engineers from DeepMind, OpenAI, FAIR, and top universities including MIT, Berkeley, Caltech, Harvard, and Yale. We've published best papers at top robotics conferences, won International Olympiad medals, and built core systems at leading AI labs. We believe in building complex systems that bring simplicity to our customers.
Global Team: We operate across US and China time zones. We value people who communicate proactively, document thoroughly, and take ownership of smooth handoffs across teams.
What to Expect
As Tech Lead for our Product team, you will architect and lead development of our GenAI-powered simulation and visualization platform. You'll make critical technical decisions, mentor engineers, and ensure we're building systems that scale.
What You'll Do
Lead technical architecture for simulation and visualization products
Make build-vs-buy decisions and technology selection
Mentor and grow a team of graphics and simulation engineers
Drive ML solution architecture that bridges research and product
Hands-on coding for critical systems and complex integrations
What You'll Bring
7+ years of software engineering with 2+ years in technical leadership
Deep product intuition—you understand what makes tools usable
Experience with 3D graphics, game engines, or simulation systems
Strong ML fundamentals; ability to integrate ML models into products
Excellent communication and ability to translate technical concepts
Nice to Have
Experience at game studios, simulation companies, or graphics vendors
Background in robotics visualization or digital twins
Familiarity with MuJoCo, Isaac Sim, or physics engines
We believe diverse teams build better products. Even if you don't meet every requirement listed, we encourage you to apply if you're excited about this role and our mission.
