Lyte AI Inc.
Systems Integration & Prototyping Lead
Lyte AI Inc., Sunnyvale, California, United States, 94087
We are looking for a Systems Integration & Prototyping Lead to turn our robotics technologies into compelling, end-to-end demos and customer-ready prototypes. This is a highly hands‑on, cross‑functional role focused on making complex robotic systems work reliably in the real world. You will integrate our sensors, cameras, and compute platforms into complete robotic systems—ranging from AMRs and rovers to robotic arms, quadrupeds, and humanoids—for internal validation, customer demos, and major industry events such as CES, GTC, and customer on‑sites. This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the boundary between hardware, software, and robotics, and enjoys building systems that people can see, touch, and interact with.
What you'll do
Own end‑to‑end system integration for robotics demos, prototypes, and early customer systems
Build and integrate complete robotic platforms, using off‑the‑shelf or in‑house robotic platforms (AMRs, rovers, robotic arms, quadrupeds, humanoids, etc.), multiple sensors (RGB cameras, LiDAR, IMU, depth sensors, etc.), and compute platforms (NVIDIA Thor, Jetson Nano, Orin, Xavier, etc.)
Perform hardware and software bring‑up, including OS installation, drivers, firmware, middleware, and basic applications
Integrate and debug networking, synchronization, and data paths across sensors, compute, and robotic platforms
Work closely with EE, PD, mechanical, firmware, software, systems, and algorithm teams to resolve integration challenges
Rapidly diagnose and fix system‑level issues involving power, thermal, mechanical, timing, or software interactions
Build polished, stable demos suitable for customer reviews, executive briefings, and trade shows
Support on‑site and off‑site customer demos, trade shows, and field deployments
Capture feedback and lessons learned from demos and feed them back into product and engineering roadmaps
Required Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field
6+ years of experience in systems integration, robotics, embedded systems, or prototyping roles
Hands‑on experience integrating robotic platforms with sensors, compute, and software stacks
Strong familiarity with NVIDIA Jetson / Thor platforms and embedded Linux environments
Experience working with cameras, LiDARs, IMUs, and perception‑related hardware
Strong system‑level debugging skills across hardware, software LEDs, networking, and robotics subsystems
Ability to collaborate effectively across hardware, mechanical, firmware, software, and algorithm teams
Comfortable operating in fast‑paced startup environments with incomplete requirements
Preferred Qualifications
Background in AMRs, autonomous systems, manipulation, or humanoid robotics
Familiarity with ROS / ROS 2, sensor drivers, and robotics middleware
Experience with high‑speed interfaces and networking (Ethernet, PCIe, USB, time sync)
Scripting or light development experience (Python, C/C++, Bash) for automation and bring‑up
Strong intuition for system reliability, cable management, power, thermal, and mechanical constraints
Benefits (subject to location and local regulations)
Competitive salary and equity
Comprehensive обработки and vision coverage
Flexible vacation and time‑off policy
Collaborative, fast‑paced, and inclusive work environment
Opportunity to work oncutting‑edgetechnologies with a highly cross‑functional team
