Overview


Our client is a high-growth, venture-backed robotics company deploying advanced automation solutions across sectors including life sciences, semiconductor, and industrial environments.
Operating within a founder-led, customer-centric model, the business partners closely with clients to deliver complex, high-impact deployments with long-term ownership and visibility.
This role sits at the heart of that motion.


The Opportunity


This is a hybrid Solutions Architect / Customer Success position responsible for owning customer engagements end-to-end—from pre-sale through deployment and post-launch success.
You will serve as the primary point of accountability for client outcomes, translating real-world workflows into deployable automation solutions and ensuring successful execution in the field.
This is a highly visible, client-facing role requiring adaptability across diverse environments, from warehouse operations to highly regulated facilities.


Key Responsibilities



  • Own 1–2 major customer accounts across the full lifecycle (pre-sale → deployment → post-go-live)

  • Act as the primary client-facing lead and trusted advisor

  • Translate customer workflows into scalable robotics and automation solutions

  • Lead deployment strategy and oversee on-site execution

  • Coordinate internal engineering and deployment teams

  • Manage onboarding requirements (safety, IT, compliance, site access)

  • Ensure successful implementation, adoption, and customer satisfaction

  • Interface with stakeholders across all levels (technical teams through executive leadership)

  • Support both pre-sales conversations and post-sales delivery in a continuous engagement model


Qualifications



  • Experience in robotics, automation, or adjacent technical domains (AI, autonomous systems, etc.)

  • Background in Solutions Architecture, Deployment Engineering, or Technical Customer Success

  • Proven ability to operate across both pre- and post-sales environments

  • Strong communication skills with the ability to engage both technical and executive audiences

  • Comfort working in fast-paced, ambiguous startup environments

  • Willingness to travel ~50% (critical requirement)

  • Strong ownership mindset with accountability for outcomes


Ideal Background



  • Robotics or automation companies

  • Autonomous systems / self-driving technologies

  • AI startups (forward-deployed engineering roles)

  • Deployment engineering leaders moving into more client-facing roles


Nice to Have



  • Experience in regulated environments (biotech, semiconductor, etc.)

  • Familiarity with customer onboarding processes (safety protocols, compliance, IT access)


Travel & Location



  • Approximately 50% travel required

  • Regular on-site presence across U.S. customer locations (Midwest, Texas, and beyond)

  • Preferred hubs: Cambridge, MA or San Francisco, CA

  • Open to remote candidates with flexibility to travel


Why This Role



  • True end-to-end ownership—no silos between pre- and post-sales

  • High-impact, highly visible role working directly with customers and leadership

  • Exposure to cutting-edge robotics and automation deployments

  • Opportunity to grow with a rapidly scaling organization
