A depot in a box for charging, cleaning & inspecting autonomous fleets directly in operating zones.\nAutonomous driving is working. The operational layer around it is not. Today, fleets lose significant time and money traveling to centralized depots for charging, cleaning and servicing, creating dead miles, lower uptime and operational bottlenecks that limit fleet scale.\nAseon Pods are modular, rapidly deployable robotic pitstops that keep autonomous fleets operating near demand. By bringing charging, cleaning and inspection directly into operating zones, we help fleet operators increase uptime, reduce operational overhead and scale markets more efficiently without relying on large centralized depots.\nWe’re second-time founders and mobility infrastructure operators. Previously, we built and scaled Pushme to 5,000 stations across 40 cities before its acquisition by TIER-Dott ($600M raised). Aseon Labs is backed by Y Combinator and headquartered in Redwood City.\nWe’re looking for a Founding Robotics Engineer to help build and deploy real-world robotic systems from the ground up.\nThis is not a research role. You’ll work on physical systems that need to operate reliably outdoors, interface with world-class autonomy hardware, deploy in production environments across the world, and support systems that directly impact self-driving cars’ uptime.\nWhat you’ll do\nOwn robotic manipulation, controls and motion planning across the system\nDevelop robotic workflows for physically interacting with AVs, including opening doors/panels, charging, vacuuming, surface wipe, item repositioning and more\nArchitect perception systems used for robot positioning, vehicle localization and task execution\nBuild reliable robotic behaviors around vehicles operating in dynamic real-world environments\nDevelop the control layer for robotic arms, tooling systems and autonomous task sequencing\nWork across robotics software, hardware integration and system architecture\nEvaluate and help define robotics hardware choices including robotic arms, sensors, controllers and perception systems\nWork directly with founders to shape the technical direction and architecture of the company\nWho you are\nExceptional engineer with deep curiosity for robotics and physical-world systems\nStrong fundamentals in robotics, controls, perception, motion planning or adjacent disciplines\nHands-on builder who enjoys moving quickly from concept to working system\nComfortable operating across software, hardware and system-level engineering boundaries\nMotivated by difficult real-world problems rather than controlled demonstrations or research prototypes\nHigh ownership, highly execution-oriented and comfortable with ambiguity\nAble to reason from first principles and make sound engineering tradeoffs under constraints\nLow ego, highly collaborative and driven by building great products with a small team\nRole details\nFull-time\n$170-250k base + 0.25-1% equity depending on experience\nHQ in Redwood City, Bay Area\nIn-person, hands-on engineering role\nWhy this role\nOwn core robotics architecture from the earliest stage of the company\nBuild robotic systems designed to operate autonomously around self-driving vehicles at city scale\nHelp define how autonomous fleets physically operate and scale over the next decade\nJoin a small, highly technical team building infrastructure for one of the largest shifts in transportation\nFounder screening\nTechnical deep dive on systems you’ve built\nPractical working session\nFinal conversation with founders\nDecision in 1-2 weeks.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3601,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Autonomous
