Director, Engineering - Autonomy

As the Director of Engineering - Autonomy, you will provide the strategic leadership and executive vision for the teams responsible for major components of the core autonomy system and its safety architectures. You will build and scale a world-class organization dedicated to advancing Physical AI, focusing on edge-deployed machine learning, deterministic safety fallbacks, and real-time execution. Rather than building a traditional closed ecosystem, your teams will develop the robust onboard intelligence and safety guards required to safely evaluate next-generation models, benchmark autonomous capabilities, and collect high-value, long-tail data in complex real-world environments. Operating at the intersection of advanced research and rigorous systems engineering, you will hold ultimate accountability for ensuring that these core system components maneuver safely, predictably, and intelligently on physical hardware.
