  • Comfortable collaborating directly with customers to iterate on mission-critical deployments

What's On Offer

  • A high-autonomy environment within a mission-driven, fast-growing start-up
  • The chance to build and deploy cutting-edge embedded AI technology
  • A world-class engineering culture focused on innovation and ownership
