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.
