Manager, Robotics Field Engineer
Job Description
The Research & Development Department’s mission is to set the industry standard by finding new materials, methods, and technologies to change the built environment and how we work. The R&D Robotics Field Operations Engineer will be responsible for evaluating, deploying, and scaling our strategic robotics initiatives in challenging real-world environments. They will coordinate across interdisciplinary teams, including project teams, consultants, hardware developers, software developers, subcontractors, and suppliers. This team member will report to the R&D Robotics Lead and serve on an interdisciplinary team conducting research and developing novel robotics solutions for construction.
The ideal candidate will excel at the intersection of robotics and construction, will be highly organized, and capable of working independently to execute complex projects. They will lead the robotics field operations efforts with a focus on driving the adoption of mature robotics solutions across jobsites. They will routinely collaborate with external partners to evaluate capabilities, address gaps in functionality, and align development roadmaps. They will lead efforts to establish standard operating procedures, best practices, safety policies, training materials, and deployment documentation for robotics deployments.
Candidates should be passionate about both robotics and construction, able to learn outside of their trained competency quickly, and excited to roll up their sleeves when needed. Key to this position are strong written and verbal communication skills, project management skills, creative thinking, relationship management, and meticulous attention to detail. Most importantly, candidates should be curious and excited about operating in new territory without fear of failure.
Responsibilities
- Lead the development of business case and deployment strategies for new robotics solutions to drive adoption across jobsites.
- Lead the development of standard operating procedures, best practices, safety policies, training materials, and deployment documentation.
- Lead efforts to train and provide ongoing real-time support to project teams and field technicians as they integrate robotics into jobsite workflows.
- Lead the management, inventory, and maintenance of a growing robotics fleet and associated payloads.
- Serve as a subject matter expert for aerial robotics, ground robotics, trade robotics, reality capture, and related emerging technologies.
- Develop and manage complex budgets, schedules, and success metrics for strategic initiatives at various stages of maturity.
- Manage evaluations and pilots of emerging robotics technologies to continuously advance robotics service offerings, use cases, and best practices.
- Build relationships across operations, site operations, and subcontractors to understand their needs, develop goals, and ensure initiatives are aligned to the needs of our project teams.
-
Act as brand ambassador for the firm, representing the company in industry and professional organizations.
- US Citizenship (as required by several of HITT's Federal Government clients).
- Bachelor’s degree (BA/BS) in robotics, engineering, commercial construction, or architecture.
- Minimum 5 years of experience developing and deploying robotics solutions in complex, dynamic, real-world environments.
- FAA Remote Pilot Certification and extensive familiarity with aerial reality capture, automated docks, BVLOS regulations, GNSS/RTK/PPK, and flight operations in restricted airspace.
- Experience with reality capture technologies including 3D laser scanning, 360-cameras, photogrammetry, gaussian splatting, and digital twins.
- Familiarity with surveying principles, robotic total stations, geospatial data management, and coordinate systems.
- Proficiency in understanding construction documents, shop drawings, and other design communication tools.
- Familiarity with construction design, management, and BIM coordination software (e.g., Revit, Navisworks, Procore, ArcGIS).
- Previous experience on commercial job sites preferred.
- Ability to work independently in the field and collaborate with diverse project teams.
- Ability to travel to jobsites in the Northern Virginia area as needed for deployments and support, and occasionally to regional offices around the US.
- Must be a self-starter, highly motivated, and able to work independently.
- Detail-oriented, organized, and able to prioritize tasks across multiple projects.
-
Ability to effectively communicate complex technical topics in written and verbal formats to various audiences.
Senior Embedded Software Engineer
@ Embedd 
What we're looking for
At embedd.it, we power hardware-software integration in embedded devices. We turn fragmented semiconductor chip data into configurable digital twins, then deterministically generate code, tests, and documentation – making integration faster, cheaper, and resilient to supply chain shocks.
We’re looking for a true legend – someone with abstract thinking and deep expertise in low-level software development. You’ll build vendor-agnostic tooling for MCU and peripheral integration to solve hardware-software integration once and for all. We work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generation, compilers, and machine learning. It’s your chance to help redefine how low-level development is done.
Responsibilities
- Drive the architecture of the driver structures and system layout
- Define scalable patterns for cross-architectural integration across bare-metal, Zephyr, Linux, and other environments
- Deconstruct complex SoC device trees and translate hardware descriptions into structured internal models for automated reasoning
- Partner with the ML team to shape data and annotation models for AI-driven data-extraction tooling
Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in embedded systems development, including bare-metal and RTOS-based systems
- Proficiency in C/C++
- Familiarity with firmware configuration, SoC bring-up, and system-level debugging
- Hands-on experience with code generation tools, or low-level compiler/decompiler/emulator technologies
- Strong background in embedded toolchains: compilers, linkers, debuggers, and build systems
- Python or scripting for automation and tooling is a plus
- Experience with functional-safety standards is a plus
Why embedd.it?
- Dynamic, venture-backed team of engineers challenging the status quo 🚀
- Work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generators, compilers, and ML 🤖
- Unusual challenges requiring out-of-the-box abstract thinking 🧠
- Competitive compensation: cash + equity 💰
- Remote work possible 🌍
About Us
embedd.it is a UK-based startup reinventing embedded development. Our platform transforms unstructured semiconductor data into structured digital twins, enabling automatic generation of drivers, tests, and documentation. We're building a single, traceable source of truth to make integration fast, vendor-agnostic, and future-proof.
