## Job description

Teleo, a Havoc company, is a robotics company that transforms construction heavy equipment, including loaders, dozers, excavators, and trucks, into autonomous robots for commercial and defense applications. Our technology enables a single operator to supervise and control multiple machines simultaneously, delivering significant productivity gains while improving operator safety and comfort. Teleo was founded by a team of experienced technology leaders who previously led the development of Lyft's Self-Driving Car program and Google Street View. Teleo recently announced its merger with Havoc AI, a fast-growing defense technology company developing coordinated fleets of autonomous maritime vessels. This is a unique opportunity to join a team building technology with real-world impact. You will work on cutting-edge 100,000-pound autonomous robots and engineer complex systems at the intersection of hardware, software, robotics, and AI.

## MISSION

As the primary architect of the electrical interface between Teleo’s autonomy stack and diverse heavy machinery, you will own the end-to-end integration lifecycle. You will design, validate, and deploy ruggedized wiring harnesses that bridge our technology with global OEM platforms (CAT, Komatsu, Volvo, etc.), ensuring seamless "bringup" from initial kickoff to full field operation.

Core Responsibilities

- System Design: Architect and design complex wiring harnesses that interface Teleo's autonomy kit with OEM construction equipment, utilizing schematics, service manuals, diagnostic analysis, and vehicle signal characterization to integrate with existing machine systems.

- Validation & Testing: Conduct rigorous lab validation, including continuity, resistance, voltage drop, and CAN signal integrity to ensure system reliability before deployment.

- Field Integration: Lead on-vehicle bringup and commissioning in the field. Install, debug, and iterate on hardware to establish a stable operational baseline for new platforms.

- Continuous Improvement: Close the feedback loop between field performance and engineering design. Perform root-cause analysis on in-situ failures and implement hardware revisions.

- Documentation & Scaling: Author comprehensive schematics, Bills of Materials (BOMs), installation manuals, and training assets to enable scalable, repeatable deployments by field teams.

Operational Support: Work onsite at Teleo HQ in Palo Alto, with approximately 25% travel to customer jobsites for new machine integration and advanced troubleshooting.

Required Qualifications

- BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, or equivalent hands-on experience.

- 3+ years of post-degree professional experience in electrical systems integration, vehicle electronics, hardware engineering, or comparable hands-on work.

- Proficient in reading and authoring electrical schematics, with experience characterizing OEM electrical systems from schematics, service manuals, and on-system measurements, and translating that documentation into buildable harness designs.

- Wiring harness design experience for automotive, off-road, heavy equipment, or robotics retrofit applications, with proficiency in schematic capture and harness design tools such as KiCAD, RapidHarness, or equivalent.

- Strong electrical and mechanical troubleshooting instincts honed through field deployment and bring-up of electromechanical systems on real vehicles, with a track record of driving issues to root cause rather than escalating them.

- Fluent with bench instrumentation (DMM, oscilloscope, power supply, electronic load) for board- and harness-level debug.

- Hands-on experience troubleshooting, logging, decoding, and interpreting CAN bus protocols, ideally J1939.

- Proficiency in Python or comparable scripting languages for test automation, data analysis, or CAN traffic decoding.

- Able to work onsite at Teleo HQ in Palo Alto, with the ability to travel up to ~25%.

## Preferred Qualifications

- Demonstrated hands-on harness and cable assembly experience, including connectorization, crimping, depinning, and rework using calibrated hand tools.

- Familiarity with wire harness manufacturing standards (IPC/WHMA-A-620).

- Experience designing IP-rated, sealed harnesses for outdoor and high-vibration environments.

- EMI/EMC awareness applied to harness routing, shielding, and grounding.

- Experience flashing and bench-testing embedded controllers and microcontrollers.

- PCB rework experience.

- Experience leveraging AI coding tools in engineering workflows.

- Familiarity with PLM and inventory tools (Arena, Duro, Teamcenter, Windchill), along with BOM creation and revision control experience.

- Experience authoring installation manuals and developing training programs for field teams.

- Functional safety familiarity (ISO 13849, ISO 25119, or ISO 26262).

Teleo is an equal opportunity employer and we value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. All qualified people are encouraged to apply.

## About Teleo

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Teleo converts existing fleets of heavy equipment into semi-autonomous robots that operators can control remotely, improving safety and productivity in construction and mining.
- **Entity Type**: Private, acquired by HavocAI in March 2026 (now an operating subsidiary)
- **Headquarters**: Palo Alto, California, United States
- **Founded**: 2019
- **Founders**: Vinay Shet (CEO) and Rom Clement (CTO)

## Core Business
- **Primary Industry**: Automation Machinery Manufacturing, Robotics, Construction Technology
- **Target Customers**: B2B, serving construction companies, mining operators, and heavy equipment fleet owners
- **Mission/Purpose**: To revolutionize heavy equipment operations by bringing supervised autonomy to existing machines, making worksites safer and more productive while addressing labor shortages

## Products & Services
- **Supervised Autonomy Retrofit Kit**: A hardware/software system that retrofits existing heavy equipment (dozers, excavators, etc.) with teleoperation and semi-autonomous capabilities. Operators control machines from a remote desk, switching between machines and job sites instantly.
- **Remote Operations Platform**: A software platform enabling operators to manage multiple machines from a safe, comfortable remote workstation.
- **Analytics**: Provides operational performance analytics to improve fleet efficiency.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not publicly disclosed (acquired by HavocAI in 2026)
- **Total Funding**: $28.2M – $29.8M (conflicting reports) across 4 rounds, including a $150K accelerator round and multiple Series A rounds led by UP.Partners
- **Key Metric**: Annual revenue of approximately $1.8M (pre-acquisition estimate); employee count of 43–56 (varying sources)
- **Notable Investors**: UP.Partners (lead), Trucks Venture Capital, F-Prime Capital
- **Growth Signals**: 
  - Acquired by HavocAI in March 2026, signaling strategic value in defense/autonomy space
