About the role
- A central part of this role is dealing with the realities of Jetson-based systems: cross-compilation from x86_64 to aarch64, JetPack quirks, OTA workflows, and the infrastructure needed to keep a distributed hardware fleet working.

- Build and maintain release and deployment pipelines for robots and edge systems
- Own operational workflows across local development, Jetson devices, and production environments

- Our engineering team works across robotics, embedded systems, and edge infrastructure, and we need strong operational foundations to support fast iteration and reliable releases.
- Can design practical deployment systems for hardware and edge environments
- Have strong technical judgment and can drive process improvements in messy real-world systems
