Systems Engineer

About Us

The American pharmacy system currently struggles to meet patient needs. Long wait times, overworked staff, and outdated infrastructure have compromised reliable access to essential medications.

We are addressing these challenges today. We are a stealth-mode physical AI company working on a robotic pharmacy product. We are not just conceptualizing the pharmacy of the future; we are building it now.

About the Role

You’ll architect a mission-critical autonomous robotic system and drive decisions at the intersection of hardware, software, business and customer needs. You’ll guide cross-function teams through a systems lens - using rigorous, data-driven analysis to sharpen execution. Together, we’ll scale our robots to high-volume production and bring reliable pharmacy automation to patients nationwide.

What You Bring:

• System Architecture & Technical Leadership:

  • Own the end-to-end architecture, defining requirements, interfaces, and performance budgets

  • Act as the technical integrator across hardware, software, controls, manufacturing, and operations

  • Resolve ambiguity through structured analysis and clear decision making

  • Balance performance, reliability, manufacturability, cost, and customer/unit-economic constraints

• Model-Driven Tradeoffs:

  • Build and maintain system-level models for performance, throughput, reliability and cost.

  • Apply first-principles reasoning, simulation, and quantitative trade studies to architectural decisions

  • Update assumptions and margins as manufacturing and field data come in.

• Scale, Verification & Reliability

  • Architect for high-volume manufacturing and nationwide deployment, driving system-level DFM/DFA.

  • Design for variability, serviceability, logistics, and field reliability

  • Define V&V strategy, lead integration, bring-up, FMEA, and root-cause analysis

  • Hold the bar for safety, uptime, and real-world robustness.

Qualifications / Experiences

Must Have:

• 6+ years of engineering experience on complex products, with a track record of shipping systems that carry real operational and economic consequences. Direct robotics experience is not required — we welcome candidates from adjacent complex-systems domains (e.g., aerospace, automotive, medical devices, industrial automation)

• Deep expertise in system architecture, design trades, requirements definition, and interface design

• Experience planning and executing V&V campaigns for complex systems

• Fluency across hardware, software, controls, and operations, with deep knowledge in one or more of: electronics, embedded software, distributed software, mechatronics, or mechanical systems

• Ability to reason rigorously about cost, scaling, and unit economics

• First-principles thinker who is data-driven, decisive under uncertainty, and operates with high ownership and low ego

Nice to Have:

• Experience in safety or mission critical industries

• Experience working directly with customers or regulators during development and delivery

• Hands-on experience testing complex electromechanical and software systems in the lab or in the field

• Hands-on experience in a manufacturing environment

• Experience owning regulatory compliance activities (e.g., IEC, UL, FCC)

Our Values

• Servant Leadership – Make those around you better. Like Rmix serves communities, we serve our teams. 4,000 pharmacies close annually — we're here to reverse that.
