Teleo Head of Autonomy at Teleo leads the end-to-end autonomy stack and engineering team for autonomous heavy equipment. The role includes setting technical direction, architecture decisions, and managing autonomy performance across multiple machine types.
Responsibilities
- The Head of Autonomy owns Teleo's autonomy stack end to end and leads the team that builds it. You will lead the engineering team across perception, simulation, controls, path planning, fleet orchestration, learning-based methods (RL, imitation learning, and VLA-style models), and MLOps.
- This is a senior player-coach role. You will set the technical direction, make the architecture calls, and stay close enough to the code and the field data to review designs in depth. You will also hire, grow, and run the team, and be accountable for autonomy performance on customer deployments across several machine types.
- The core technical problem is taking a stack that works today in supervised autonomy on real job sites and scaling it: more machine types, more sites, more material-manipulation tasks, and fewer operator interventions per hour, without compromising safety.
