Tech Lead - AI and Runtime Orchestration Harness (f/m/div.)

• As part of our team, you will own the architecture of the runtime harness, connecting task planning, skill selection, and dispatch with execution state, feedback, and recovery. You define clear boundaries between AI proposals and controlled execution.
• You will build AI-assisted planning and reasoning capabilities using well-defined tools and interfaces. This includes validating plans against available skills, state, and operational constraints while handling timeouts, invalid outputs, and uncertainty.
• Additionally, you will integrate robot runtimes and factory systems through ROS 2 or orchestration APIs, MES/OT interfaces, PLC handshaking, and industrial event flows. You resolve state consistency, concurrency, and ordering issues.
• You will design observability, replayable traces, fallback paths, and operator intervention. Working with safety and security specialists, you ensure that the harness respects plant protection and control responsibilities.
• Furthermore, you will lead implementation and technical reviews while working with dedicated QA on simulation, fault injection, and plant validation. You demonstrate end-to-end reliability, latency, and recovery through reproducible evidence.
• Using our Agentic AI Software Factory, you will develop implementation and verification tooling. You treat the runtime AI harness as the product being engineered, complete with its own tests, configurations, and release evidence.
