Conduit
Forward Deployed Engineer (Robotics)
Why it's interesting
A robotics-automation startup building its FDE bench three postings deep — Robotics, Vision & ML, and an Edge-Frameworks/FDE-tooling seat — at $160K–$200K + equity to deploy FactoryOS on real factory floors. This is the corner of the market where 'forward deployed' means a hard hat, not a Zoom call.
The role
Deploy Conduit's FactoryOS — a platform coordinating every robot, machine, and system on one layer — inside manufacturers' plants, taking automation from pilot to production in days. Parallel FDE (Vision and ML) and Senior Platform Engineer (Edge Frameworks & FDE Tooling) postings are live on the same board, signaling a real forward-deployed org.
