JOIN US TO SHAPE THE NEXT FRONTIER OF AI-DRIVEN ROBOTICS! Dyna Robotics makes general-purpose robots powered by a proprietary embodied AI foundation model that generalizes and self-improves across varied environments with commercial-grade performance. Dyna's robots have been deployed at customers across multiple industries. Its frontier model has the top generalization and performance in the industry. Dyna Robotics was founded by repeat founders Lindon Gao and York Yang, who sold Caper AI for $350 million, and former DeepMind research scientist Jason Ma. The company has raised over $140M, backed by top investors, including CRV and First Round. We're positioned to redefine the landscape of robotic automation. THE ROLE We're looking for a senior engineering leader to build and lead Dyna's blended engineering organization across hardware, software, AI systems, and deployment-facing product work. This leader will create the team structure, operating rhythm, communication loops, and execution discipline that turn research breakthroughs into reliable customer deployments. This is not a pure technical architect role or a staff-plus IC role. You should understand complex hardware-software and AI-enabled systems deeply enough to ask the right questions, align experts, and connect research, software, hardware, and field deployment decisions. Your primary mandate is organizational: build the team, retain strong people, manage progress, share context, and ensure execution across ambiguous, high-stakes work. This is an on-site role based in Redwood City. You will work closely with Dyna's founders, senior leadership team, ML Research, Hardware, Software, Operations, Product, and Deployment. The right candidate understands that Dyna's advantage comes from tightly coupling research, engineering, and real-world deployment feedback, not from treating research and commercialization as separate handoffs. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Team Building & Retention: Hire, onboard, grow, and retain ICs an
