About the role

  • That's the digital thread we've built: product CAD to a running assembly line, driven by AI.
  • We're reindustrializing ― addressing the labor shortage, rebuilding domestic competitiveness, and making automation something any factory can afford.
  • The thesis is working and the hardest problems are still ahead.

Responsibilities

  • It's here now - and you'll build it.
  • Launchpad Build AI is the AI-first robotics company powering real-world assembly automation.
  • The Seat You own technology across Launchpad Build AI - research direction, architecture, what we build, and the technical organization spanning El Segundo and Edinburgh.
  • setting the technical priorities and making the hard make, buy, or partner decisions that decide how the cost curve bends, not whether.
  • What you'll build The Manufacturing Language Model (MLM).
  • Our RAG LLM, trained on intelligence from live production environments and purpose-built for automation design.
  • You own its direction, its data strategy, retrieval quality, and the jump from world-first demo to production reliability on the floor.
  • You own closing the gap between design intent and what the line actually does.
  • You'll set BOM and sourcing strategy accordingly-standard, sourceable hardware where it's a commodity, proprietary effort reserved for where we actually win - and own build-vs-buy across the stack.
  • Lead and grow the technical org across the US and UK - Engineering, Hardware, and Software.

Requirements

  • You know which trade-offs matter and you make the hard calls, including on incomplete information.

Benefits

  • Real-time computer vision.
  • Inspection, part recognition, guidance, and the vision that powers self-programming - robust enough to survive a real production environment, not just a lab.
  • ML / LLMs / RAG, computer vision, robotics and ROS2, embedded and edge compute, CAD, manufacturing, and industrial automation.
