Business Development Lead

Who we are

Join the team that makes sensor data make sense.

Main Street Autonomy makes reliable and scalable automatic sensor calibration and perception-based localization software. We partner with robotics and autonomous vehicle companies shaping the future of AI-powered systems.

We’re looking for an engineer to work directly with our Chief Business Officer engaging current and prospective customers. Our customers are roboticists, and our sales and marketing process is technical. Strong candidates will be relationship-builders who have an understanding of the product: calibration (intrinsics, extrinsics, time offsets), localization (odometry, lidar/camera alignment), and sensor fusion (motion- and time-corrected data).

What you’ll do

• Learn the product, plus the pain points that prompt our customers to buy vs build.
• Research companies building autonomous systems, and identify the decision makers.
• Build relationships with technical teams working in autonomy.
• Own the pipeline and responsibility to close deals.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of our go-to-market strategy and processes.

What you bring

• MS or PhD in robotics, computer science, electrical engineering, or similar field.
• Meaningful hands-on robotics experience; you must have calibrated a camera with checkerboards.
• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills for engaging a technical audience.
• Experience working independently and managing your own workload.
• Ethically-sound decision making.
• Persistence.
