  • Stay on top of — and advance — Physical AI technology trends. At present this includes Spatial AR interfaces, Context Prompting for VLMs, voice interaction, and MCP / agent integrations. Stay ahead of the curve and determine which technology trends will satisfy customer needs.
  • Set the bar for Engineering Excellence. Establish strong standards for design, test, and execution across the team. Understand the details of the team’s work, and ensure that the team is consistently making good tradeoff decisions.
  • Build and organize the team. Hire leads and ICs for the team. Decide on the right organizational structure to support multiple applications effectively. Refine team norms, processes, and communication channels as the team scales.
  • Establish a customer-centric culture. Get the team directly involved with early customer deployments. Handle issues in the field with appropriate urgency. Build quantitative and qualitative feedback systems in partnership with the product team to understand how Atlas is being used in the real world.
