We are building the essential infrastructure to close the \"Physical AI Deployment Gap.\" Our core thesis is that making agentic AI work at scale is an architectural challenge of feedback and deterministic enforcement.\nDescription\nAs the Systems Engineer for Skills & Orchestration, you are the custodian of the system's reliability. While developers build skills and agentic models generate plans, your mission is to define what a \"skill\" actually is and what it contractually promises to the rest of the system. You will build the deterministic supervisory layer, the \"ECU\" to the AI's combustion engine, that bounds stochastic agent behavior within strict safety-state projections. You are responsible for ensuring that our system does what it promises, reproducibly, at Scale. This requires horizontal system thinking and vertical deepdives down to the execution layer.\nResponsibilities\nOwn the Skills Supervisor Orchestration layer of the 120ft functional stack, defining task sequencing, skill ontologies, and behavior trees.\n\nDesign and enforce the cross-cutting Architectural Contracts from the infrastructure layer up to the human-robot interface.\n\nImplement the Capability Admission Pipeline, ensuring every new cell configuration passes 6 strict structural gates (Hazards, Safety-state projection, Mode structure, Envelopes, Enforcement, Runtime admission) before deployment.\n\nBuild the deterministic supervisory shell that measures observable outputs against business constraints and handles fault recovery and escalation.\n\nCollaborate closely with VLA Engineers and Simulation Engineers to orchestrate heterogeneous hardware and ensure agentic capabilities map safely to the reality of atoms.\n\nDesign and maintain shopfloor dashboards and DfM workflows that translate layout and task assumptions into executable processes.\n\nRequirements\nMaster’s degree or equivalent in work experience in Systems Engineering, Computer Science, or a related complex architectural field.\n\nDeep understanding of control theory, state machines, behavior trees and feedback loops as applied to complex or highly stochastic systems.\n\nProven history of systems-level thinking, previously mapping cross-layer functional requirements (e.g., OSI model applications) to physical and software architectures.\n\nExperience defining strict operational envelopes, telemetry pipelines, and safety instrumented systems.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nYou view system design through the lens of 'connection' and architectural contracts rather than just component integration.\n\nYou have the pragmatism to understand that agentic AI requires a conservative projection of system state to be safely deployed in high-mix manufacturing.\n\nYou can effortlessly bridge the gap between high-level operational abstractions (MES/ERP) and low-level robotics primitives.\n\nYou are a structured thinker who can communicate complex architectural tradeoffs clearly and build robust deployment pipelines.\n\nCompensation\nWe offer a top-tier Stockholm salary combined with early-stage equity grant as part of the founding engineering team. Relocation support and EU Blue Card sponsorship provided.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3234,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Sweden","iso":"SE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-11T08:06:19Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":20,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.435,"p_room":0.45,"age_days":47,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-11-11T10:44:24Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/120ft-robotics-systems-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/120ft-robotics-systems-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-11T10:44:24Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":18528,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-12T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4532555},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4532555"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2F120ft-robotics-systems-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2F120ft-robotics-systems-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2F120ft-robotics-systems-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/120ft-robotics-systems-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2F120ft-robotics-systems-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4060136}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"120ft.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4060136},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
