Jobs at Mecka AI

Own end-to-end scientific data acquisition programs for AI-lab customers: scope projects, recruit and manage experts, design protocols, define quality and metrics, run pilots to production, and coordinate cross-functional teams to deliver model-useful datasets.

Lead development of simulation environments, retarget human demonstrations to robot trajectories, train and evaluate policies using imitation learning and RL, and drive sim-to-real transfer with metrics and domain-randomization methods.

Own high-priority projects end-to-end across data labeling, data capture, and customer deployments. Scope requirements, drive cross-functional execution with engineering and operations, monitor throughput and SLAs, identify bottlenecks, and manage stakeholder communication to ensure on-time, high-quality, and scalable delivery.

Lead large-scale video representation and video-language model research and training on egocentric/stereo robotics data, run self-supervised and multimodal pretraining, produce reproducible checkpoints and embeddings for production, and build rigorous training/eval workflows.

Define and execute Mecka AI's content strategy to explain technical work in robotics and embodied AI. Translate complex technical concepts into clear narratives across website, blog, campaigns, and recruiting; own content roadmap, messaging, long-form pieces, and distribution while partnering with leadership and engineering/research teams.

Provide on-site technical ownership for robot deployments: setup, calibration, troubleshooting hardware/software/networking, lead high-quality data capture, support teleoperation workflows, coordinate with remote teams, document issues and improve field processes.

Lead and build Mecka AI's finance function across the US parent and international subsidiaries, owning accounting, tax, financial operations, ERP and controls. Manage close, audits, filings, cross-border tax strategy, systems implementation, intercompany processes, financial modeling, and partner with founders on strategy, fundraising, and scaling the finance team.

Provide high-touch executive support and run day-to-day NYC office operations. Manage calendars, travel, vendor relationships, events, and operational systems. Support business development with research, outreach coordination, and materials. Coordinate across teams, onboard local hires, track action items, and solve operational blockers.

Lead and scale Mecka's global operating system: design company-wide operating model, own end-to-end delivery across data and robotics programs, hire and develop ops leaders, build operational intelligence (KPIs, dashboards), manage risk/compliance, and partner with executive teams to translate strategy into reliable, measurable operational outcomes.

Design, implement, and train state-of-the-art 3D reconstruction and egocentric optical flow models from scratch. Scale multi-view architectures across multi-GPU clusters, innovate losses/architectures, prototype perception solutions, integrate neural rendering (NeRF, Gaussian Splatting), and produce motion-aware outputs for downstream robotics.

Lead end-to-end product development for robotics data infrastructure: turn ambiguous problems into shipped full‑stack products, focus on UX and reliability, define success metrics and instrumentation, and iterate to scale production systems.

Lead end-to-end hardware and manufacturing data acquisition programs: scope customer needs, recruit and manage hardware experts, design collection workflows, ensure quality through metrics and review loops, coordinate cross-functional execution, and scale pilots into repeatable playbooks for robotics and manufacturing datasets.

Design and operate backend systems that ingest, process, store, and serve petabyte-scale video and sensor data. Build high-throughput upload/ingest, processing, indexing, retrieval, and access-control services. Own service quality, latency, uptime, capacity planning, cost, observability, and incident response. Coordinate distributed compute across cloud infrastructure and large GPU fleets to make data movement reliable and performant.

Own end-to-end delivery of customer datasets: gather requirements, build and harden ingestion/transformation/QA/export pipelines, define dataset contracts and quality metrics, query and slice large corpora for model fit, and drive tooling improvements. Serve as technical customer contact and translate ambiguous needs into reproducible, versioned datasets suitable for robotics/embodied-AI training.

Define and own dataset quality standards for robotics training data: labeling rubrics, ontologies, schemas, sampling, and acceptance criteria. Translate model needs into precise specs, build golden datasets and calibration tasks, iterate standards from model-failure signals, and partner with engineering to enable automated validation and enforceable standards across customer programs.

Build and optimize high-scale, compute-heavy mobile recording systems for iOS and Android. Own performance, reliability, long-running capture workflows, custom Android hardware-adjacent systems, and production monitoring, testing, and debugging for field deployments.

Lead Mecka's enterprise commercial sales: own full sales cycle, close pilots/POCs, build repeatable playbook, hire and develop the sales team, manage strategic accounts and partner relationships, coordinate deployments with operations and engineering, and drive renewals and multi-site expansions.

Own technical solutioning and on-site execution of robotic deployments: scope environments with sales, design end-to-end deployment plans, lead installs and troubleshooting, train operators, document playbooks, and drive continuous improvements with partners and engineering.
