Act as customer advocate, align engineering and commercial teams, define hardware requirements, improve deployment reliability and operator experience, own packaging/pricing/launch, and track AI/vision advances to bring new capabilities to market.

Design, build, and maintain platform software in Python and C++ to automate deployment, provisioning, upgrades, and backups for distributed robotic systems. Integrate cameras, NVIDIA GPUs, robot controllers, and network devices in Dockerized environments. Configure Ubuntu systems (autoinstall, cloud-init, image management), implement CI/CD and automation frameworks, develop health checks and upgrade workflows, and collaborate with robotics, vision, and infrastructure teams to ensure scalable, reliable factory deployments.
