analogy. The best argument wins — regardless of title or tenure. Truth-seeking. We are relentlessly honest with ourselves and each other. We chase reality — measured, not assumed — and kill our own bad ideas fast. Maniacal urgency. The work matters and the clock is real. We move fast, ship, measure, and iterate. Extreme ownership. You own outcomes end-to-end — no hand-offs, no excuses, no waiting for permission. Hardcore. This is a high-intensity environment for people who want to do the defining work of their lives. The Role We’re hiring a Forward Deployment Robotics Engineer based in New York to support robot deployments, data capture, and teleoperation workflows. This is a hands-on, on-site role. You will be the person physically present during deployments — making sure robots are set up correctly, running smoothly, and capturing data according to requirements. You’ll work
