About Us
We're Queue, the world's first fully autonomous robotic pharmacy. We go from sealed wholesale bottles to filled, verified prescription vials with zero human involvement.
We built Queue because no one should ever have to wait in line for the medicines they need. One in three US pharmacies has shut down. Pharmacists are overworked to a breaking point. And patients are paying the price. Queue fixes that. Pharmacists get to practice pharmacy again — counseling patients, catching interactions, doing the work only they can do. And patients get their prescriptions in 60 seconds or less, any time, anywhere.
We’re backed by over $18 million from Alleycorp, Riot Ventures, Ubiquity Ventures, House Capital, and others who believe the pharmacy system is broken and that robotics can fix it. Queue was founded by Nick Desai (6x founder, previously CEO of Heal) and Joshua Liu (previously Tesla, Waymo, and Zipline).
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)
