About Arrive AI
At Arrive AI (Nasdaq : ARAI), we're transforming the future of the Autonomous Last Mile (ALM). We deploy Arrive Points—a type of smart locker and mini-cross-docks for frictionless drone, robotic, and courier delivery and pickup, used across medical supplies, meals, and e-commerce. Arrive AI is growing to scale an ALM network and platform for autonomous delivery providers, services, and customers. Arrive AI is the intelligent choice for the last inch of the Autonomous Last Mile.
We move fast, balancing strategy with opportunity. We are merit-based, valuing integrity, innovation, and treating others with respect. At Arrive AI, every employee is an equity holder and a business owner. Our shared vision, ownership, and culture fuel our mission to revolutionize autonomous delivery.
The Role
We're seeking a Lead Product Engineer to own and orchestrate the engineering backbone of Arrive Point product development. This role will lead the integration of hardware, software, and AI into cohesive, manufacturable, and scalable products—turning prototypes into production-ready solutions for the ALM ecosystem.
You'll be equally comfortable leading and collaborating with mechanical, electrical, robotics, and systems engineers, making key trade-offs between design, performance, and manufacturability. You'll set technical direction, align disciplines, and ensure our products are as innovative as they are practical.
What You'll Do
- Lead Engineering Execution : Drive the end-to-end engineering process for Arrive Points, setting direction for integrated hardware, software, and AI systems.
- Coordinate Across Disciplines : Work with mechanical, electrical, robotics, and systems engineers—leading conversations, resolving trade-offs, ensuring seamless system integration.
- Guide Prototyping & Iteration : Oversee rapid prototyping cycles to test features, explore new ideas, and validate concepts quickly.
- Design Digitally First : Use CAD, simulation tools, and digital prototypes to concept, validate, and iterate designs before physical builds.
- Optimize Designs for Scale : Balance innovation with manufacturability, focusing on performance, reliability, unit economics, and readiness for mass production.
- Mentor & Build Talent : Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineers, fostering learning and rigorous problem-solving.
- Collaborate Broadly : Partner with product managers, industrial designers, supply chain leaders, and AI teams to deliver aligned, holistic solutions.
- Shape AI-Driven Engineering : Guide how AI capabilities are embedded into products—from robotics intelligence to predictive features—ensuring robustness and manufacturability.
