RIVR (formerly Swiss-Mile, legally incorporated in Zurich, Switzerland) is a physical AI and autonomous robotics enterprise spun out of ETH Zurich's Robotic Systems Lab. Founded in 2023 by Marko Bjelonic, Lorenz Wellhausen, Giorgio Valsecchi, and Alexander Reske, the venture raised over $26 million from high-profile backers including Bezos Expeditions and the Amazon Industrial Innovation Fund, before being acquired by Amazon in March 2026.
What you’ll be doing
- Network Architecture & Design: Define and implement robust, scalable, and secure network architectures integrating 4G/LTE, 5G (URLLC), Wi-Fi, and Mobile Edge Computing (MEC).
- Wireless Optimization: Evaluate and tune wireless performance (RF, antenna placement, signal reliability) to ensure ultra-low latency and high-bandwidth communication.
- Middleware Integration: Develop and maintain real-time data flow between the robot and the supervision stack using ROS2/DDS, WebRTC, and gRPC.
- System Reliability & Monitoring: Implement tools to monitor fleet connectivity, system health, and communication degradation across the network stack.
- Security Implementation: Design and apply authentication, encryption, and secure message-passing mechanisms to protect robot-to-cloud data streams.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Autonomy, Cloud, and Operations teams to ensure seamless end-to-end integration across hardware, software, and supervision systems.
What you must have
- Bachelor’s or higher degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or Communications Engineering.
- 5+ years of experience in network engineering or robotics connectivity, ideally in robotics, autonomous vehicles, or drones.
- Solid knowledge of networking protocols (TCP/IP, UDP, WebRTC, gRPC, MQTT).
- Hands-on experience with RF engineering, antenna design, and link budget analysis for mobile systems.
- Strong proficiency with ROS2/DDS and middleware integration for real-time systems.
- Proven ability to design and test secure, high-reliability network systems.
- Experience working with Linux-based systems.
Get some bonus points
- Architectures: Familiarity with cloud-to-edge architectures and MEC (Multi-access Edge Computing) deployment.
- Scripting: Scripting in Python or Go for testing and automation.
- Domain Experience: Prior experience in robotics, teleoperation, or remote supervision systems.
