Job description
What You'll Do
- Own the product roadmap needed for deployment for our core Physical AI capabilities, translating research breakthroughs into deployable, customer-facing products.
- Sit at the intersection of research, robotics engineering, and field deployment to turn ambiguous technical tradeoffs into clear product decisions.
- Define what "ready for a customer site" actually means by setting success metrics, reliability thresholds, and scope boundaries for each release.
- Drive cross-functional alignment across distributed teams in research, engineering, and field operations.
- Customer-facing, supervising technically POCs and pilots for Genesis customers & partners and for internal projects
- Working closely with the robotics team on requirements (robot, data collection, privacy, infra constraints)
What You'll Bring
- Track record of shipping technical products where the primary challenge was managing complex tradeoffs, not filling out roadmap slides.
- Deep enough technical understanding to read a policy evaluation, understand a sim-to-real gap, or participate in complex debug sessions and ask the right questions without needing to write the code yourself.
- Strong bias toward the field over the whiteboard, preferring to evaluate a failed pick on a live customer floor over reading ten synthetic benchmark reports.
- Exceptional written communication skills to write specs and decision logs that hold up when you're not in the room.
- Comfort operating with incomplete information in a fast-moving, pre-paradigm field where answers aren't obvious.
- International expertise and connections
Bonus: Prior experience in deployment, robotics, autonomy, or another domain where "works in the lab" and "works in the world" carry vastly different bars for success.
Why work at Genesis
- Culture: Values include candor, responsibility, limitless ambition, and a joyful journey. The team is described as multicultural, optimistic, and pragmatic.
- Work model: Hybrid/office-based presence in Paris, San Francisco Bay Area, and London. No explicit remote policy mentioned, but the company emphasizes in-person collaboration.
- Engineering culture: Builders get to work on the hardest problems in robotics and AI – from foundation models to hardware design to data systems. The team includes pioneers of generative simulation, Diffusion Policy, and GPU compilers.
- Notable perks: The chance to shape a category-defining general-purpose robot; close collaboration with world-class investors and advisors; fast-growing startup with significant resources ($105M seed).
