The brief
Two founders from a well-known robotics lab, a signed pilot with a logistics group and a data pipeline that one of them wrote on a weekend. They need the person who turns it into a learning system.
Who we’re looking for
Hands-on with imitation or reinforcement learning on real hardware, happy in a lab with a soldering iron nearby, and ready to hire the next three engineers.
How the search runs
A named partner runs the search from brief to offer. We map the market in the first two weeks, make every first approach ourselves, and share the funnel with you every Friday: who we called, who said no, and why.
Interested, or know someone who should be? Write to the partner on this search. Every conversation is confidential, and we never send a CV without your permission.
