About the role

Teleo is a robotics startup disrupting a trillion-dollar industry. Teleo converts construction heavy equipment, like loaders, dozers, excavators, trucks, etc. into autonomous robots. This lets one operator control multiple machines in parallel unlocking significant returns for the customer while materially enhancing the safety and comfort of the operator.    

Teleo is founded by Vinay Shet and Rom Clement, experienced technology executives who led the development of Lyft’s Self Driving Car and Google Street View. Teleo is backed by YCombinator, Up Partners, F-Prime Capital, and a host of industry luminaries. Teleo’s product is already deployed on customer sites and generating revenue. 

Teleo has recently raised $XX Million and is looking to grow rapidly. This is an opportunity to build a real customer-impact driven product, work on cool 100,000 Lbs autonomous robots, engineer complex systems at the intersection of hardware, software, AI, and get in on the ground floor of a hot startup.

  • Experience with schematic capture and board layout capture (Kicad, Cadence, Altium...)Experience developing software following safety robotics standard ISO13849, RIA, IEC 61508  or related standards (ISO 26262…) FCC, UL, CE, OSHA, RIA, TUV, etc.)
  • Proven experience in managing independently (as a individual contributor and/or technical lead) the development and qualification of an electronics product (manufacturing test codes and hardware in the loop qualification in particular)

Work environment

  • This position will require you to work to safety guidelines and may occasionally require climbing up to elevated surfaces, working outdoors in a variety of weather conditions, managing varied noise levels, and working on a range of outdoor work surfaces.  
  • Specific vision abilities are required for this job which include: close vision, distance vision, color vision, peripheral vision, depth perception and the ability to adjust focus.
  • This position may require frequent movement and activity using keyboards, viewing data on computer displays, and communicating verbally and in writing.
