solutions for our customers in new and exciting robotic applications.
What You’ll Do:

Growth Mindset: You're energized by new domains and challenges, and you pick up context quickly to maximize your impact
Clear Communication: You communicate with precision and empathy — in writing, in person, and across technical and non-technical audiences
Bias for Impact: You prioritize user outcomes over technical elegance, and you execute with urgency
