Greenlight Robotics is building public transit technology to make communities more efficient, accessible, and vibrant. The company is hiring its first core engineering team to deliver the initial production version of their system to early transit customers.
You will serve as a hybrid individual contributor and engineering manager, reporting directly to the Co-founder & CTO. This is a hands-on role with broad, end-to-end ownership over a complex, field-deployed robotics product. Rather than owning a small sub-system at a large company, you will work directly with founders to shape the core product and engineering roadmap.
Key responsibilities include:
- Design, build, and continuously improve AI models powering perception and prediction capabilities
- Build, maintain, and iterate a clean, scalable software architecture enabling perception, prediction, tracking, and localization for customer fleets
- Establish data collection pipelines and AI validation methodologies to push reliable software updates into the field
- Mentor software engineers, interns, and contractors; play a key role in recruiting and onboarding the next software hires
- Write, review, and ship production code while building out the software architecture and engineering team
Up to 15% travel required.
Requirements:
- 6+ years of demonstrated ability training robotics AI models and policies for vehicle-related tasks using multi-modal sensor data
- Ability to create, maintain, and scale complex robotic software architectures built for high maintainability and rapid iteration
- Ability to write and evaluate high-quality code using LLMs as an accelerating tool without building technical debt
- Strong foundation in vehicle AI and perception systems
Bonus qualifications:
- PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, or equivalent focus
- 8+ years of experience developing AI/ML/RL software for semi-automated or automated vehicle platforms
- Hands-on experience working directly on the hardware side of complex robotics implementations
- Previous experience as a founder or founding engineer
