Summary

An emerging robotics company in the Greater Boston area is looking for an experienced engineering leader to oversee a team focused on robotic autonomy and intelligent motion systems. This full-time leadership position combines people management, technical strategy, and hands-on involvement in the development of software that enables robots to operate safely and effectively in demanding industrial environments.
