Engineering Manager

About Mind:

Mind Robotics is building Physical AI for real-world industrial deployment, starting with the factory floor. We believe the hardest problems in AI are solved when researchers and engineers are hands-on with the physical world every day - and we're looking for people who are passionate about robotics, value ownership, and are excited to tackle difficult problems. Join us if you want to move beyond digital intelligence and put intelligence into motion.

About the team and the role:

We're hiring an Onsite Engineering Manager to lead our forward deployed and software engineering team at a key customer in Normal, IL. You'll own two things at once: the health of our fleet of data collection devices, and the engineers who keep it running. This role will start with critical robot data collection devices and then transition into robot deployment support.

You are the seam between the customer and HQ. Onsite, you're the senior technical voice the customer trusts when something breaks. At HQ, you're the person who turns field pain into a roadmap. You'll manage a small team of Forward Deployed and Software Engineers, own the escalation path into HQ engineering, and decide what gets patched in the field versus fixed in the product.

This is a hands-on management
