As an AI Product Engineer, you will design and develop the systems that let AI perceive, reason about, and act in physical space - turning buildings into intelligent, responsive environments for robots and people.

What You'll Do

• Join an AI product team with the mission to create a living lab for physical AI.
• Architect the AI-driven stack end to end, and build with AI-native tools and workflows.
• Translate customer vision and challenges into technical requirements and innovate on solutioning.
• Develop prototypes and proofs of concept.
• Engage users and clients across the product lifecycle.
• Design spatial intelligence systems: turn sensor, vision, and IoT data into a live, structured understanding of physical space - occupancy, object/asset location, environmental state, and spatial relationships between people, rooms, and equipment.
• Develop and integrate physical AI / robotics systems: perception (vision, sensor fusion), planning, and control for robots and autonomous agents operating in real workplace environments - working with existing robotics stacks (e.g., ROS/ROS2) rather than building from scratch where possible.

What You'll Own

• Driving an active, high-velocity living lab for physical AI.
• Prototypes and roadmap - from 6-week sprints to 24-month bets.
• Demos and POCs to showcase, test, and gather feedback for iteration.
• POVs and approach for adapting and applying physical AI across the living lab.

We're looking for someone AI-native - who reaches for a model, an agent, or a learned system as the default design tool.

• AI-native by default - you reach for models, agents, and learned systems as your primary design tool.
• Demonstrated experience architecting AI-driven systems.
• Exposure to physical/spatial AI or robotics - perception, SLAM/mapping, sensor fusion, robot planning/control, or spatial computing such as Gaussian splatting.
• Experience building evaluation frameworks/harnesses for AI systems.
• Strong engineering fundamentals as the supporting layer - Python, C++, or similar; APIs; data pipelines; comfort with robotics tooling (e.g., ROS/ROS2).
• Operates independently within a small squad.
• A practitioner of the product mindset.
• A solid team player with a sense of adventure.

We are driven by our AEIOU beliefs-Adventure, Excellence, Integrity, Ownership, and Unity-and we seek individuals who embody these values in both their professional and personal lives. We are committed to our Impact: Valuing our clients, Growing our people, and Creating our future.

Together, we make the extraordinary happen.
