Senior Systems Reliability Engineer

Job Description

Job Description

At Serve Robotics, we’re reimagining how things move in cities. Our personable sidewalk robot is our vision for the future. It’s designed to take deliveries away from congested streets, make deliveries available to more people, and benefit local businesses.

The Serve fleet has been delighting merchants, customers, and pedestrians along the way in Los Angeles, Miami, Dallas, Atlanta and Chicago while doing commercial deliveries. We’re looking for talented individuals who will grow robotic deliveries from surprising novelty to efficient ubiquity.

Who We Are

We are tech industry veterans in software, hardware, and design who are pooling our skills to build the future we want to live in. We are solving real-world problems leveraging robotics, machine learning and computer vision, among other disciplines, with a mindful eye towards the end-to-end user experience. Our team is agile, diverse, and driven. We believe that the best way to solve complicated dynamic problems is collaboratively and respectfully.

As a systems reliability engineer, you are responsible for ensuring that our system is robust, durable, and reliable enough to handle urban sidewalks. You will own the development and execution of novel test methodologies for an autonomous sidewalk robot. When the robot fails some of these tests - and it will - you will be responsible for determining how and why it failed, and working with multidisciplinary teams to determine corrective design solutions.
