Job Description
We are seeking a Physical AI Solutions Architect to lead the design and delivery of next-generation robotics, drones, medical, industrial, and quantum compute systems that combine AI, real-time control, and heterogeneous compute (CPU/GPU/FPGA).
This role is responsible for defining end-to-end system architectures, driving customer engagements and PoCs, and translating advanced Physical AI concepts into production-ready solutions.
The ideal candidate bridges sense-think-act physical AI pipeline, and hardware acceleration, with a strong focus on low-latency, deterministic, and scalable systems deployed in real-world environments.
Key Responsibilities
-
End-to-End Physical AI System Architecture
- Define full-stack architectures spanning sensors, perception, localization, planning, control, and actuation.
- Design Sense–Think–Act pipelines with strict latency and determinism constraints.
- Evaluate hardware/software partitioning, especially CPU vs GPU vs FPGA mapping.
-
Customer Engagement & Solution Delivery
- Lead technical engagements with physical AI customers.
- Translate customer requirements into architecture proposals and solution roadmaps.
- Deliver:
- Technical presentations and executive briefings.
- System-level design recommendations.
- Competitive positioning vs GPU/CPU alternatives.
