Principal Systems EngineerAt Gather AI, we're not just creating software; we're pioneering a new era of warehouse intelligence. We've developed a groundbreaking, vision-powered platform that uses autonomous drones and existing equipment to capture real-time data, completely digitizing workflows that have historically been manual and error-prone. This means facilities operate smarter, safer, and more efficiently, ultimately redefining "on-time, in full" delivery.
If you're looking for an opportunity to contribute to truly transformative technology and make a significant impact in a vital industry, Gather AI is the place for you. We're leading the charge in the rapidly evolving robotics industry, and we invite you to join us in reshaping the global supply chain, one intelligent warehouse at a time.Principal Systems Engineer ResponsibilitiesTake full technical ownership of the design, architecture, and integration of the autonomous data gathering systems in logistics and material handling environments.Collaborate with Product Management, Customers, and cross-functional engineering teams (e.g., Software, Hardware, Cloud, Test) to negotiate and finalize system boundaries and interfaces.Serve as a technical leader, mentoring less experienced engineers and setting the standard for systems engineering best practices.Possess specific, in-depth knowledge of hardware implementation and integration challenges for both active robotic components (e.g., actuators, controllers) and passive sensing modalities (e.g., RGB cameras, depth cameras).Drive trade-off analyses, risk assessment, and mitigation planning for critical system elements.Principal Systems Engineer RequirementsBS, MS, or PhD in Systems Engineering, Robotics, Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.10-15 years of experience in systems engineering, with a significant focus on complex hybrid hardware/software systems.Demonstrated technical ownership of major cross-functional product development initiatives.Comfort with complex algorithms in the robotics domain - finding, evaluating, and applying algorithms in mixed language (C++/Python) systems.Understanding of considerations regarding mechanical mounts, power and RF, and ingress protection.Expertise in the integration and performance characterization of passive sensing systems (e.g., perception, localization, mapping) and/or active robotic systems (e.g., navigation, control).Proven track record of defining and verifying system requirements for complex autonomous systems.Strong communication skills, particularly in writing documents that identify critical requirements and explain challenging problems clearly.Persistence and calm leadership in an agile work environment.
