Description
Rapyuta Robotics, an ETH Zurich spinoff headquartered in Tokyo, operates with the goal of making robots more accessible to anyone in the logistics industry. We seek individuals who believe that collaborative work leads to more effective and sustainable outcomes, and who are fearless in challenging limits, whether within themselves or in their surroundings.
You will lead the squads that turn warehouse orders into coordinated work for fleets of robots and equipment, across our ASRS and AMR products. The work covers real-time orchestration and dispatch, traffic control, fleet management and robot state machines. It sits between our planning layer and the behavior control software on the robots, and it has to run reliably and deliver the performance each site commits to.
Responsibilities
- Execution software: Own orchestration, dispatch, traffic control, fleet management and robot state machines end to end, from roadmap to production.
- Interfaces: Make sure the contracts for commands, state and events with the planning layer above and the robots' behavior control below are clearly defined, reviewed and kept stable, so each side can change independently.
- Quality first: Make quality the default, not a final gate. Practice test-driven development, automate testing at every layer and validate in simulation before changes reach a site.
- Production reliability: Make faults, recovery and degraded modes predictable on live sites. Drive testing, observability and incident response.
- Delivery: Turn the roadmap and customer deployments into plans the squads can execute, and keep releases predictable. Work closely with mechatronics, systems and field teams.
- People: Lead one to two squads. Hire, coach, give timely feedback and address underperformance. Grow tech leads who can own design inside their squads.
