About Mecka AI
Mecka AI is building the data infrastructure layer for robotics and embodied AI.
We design and operate global systems for data capture, data labeling, and hardware-enabled workflows used by leading AI labs and robotics companies to train and validate humanoid and embodied AI systems.
We work closely with frontier robotics teams to bridge real-world data, simulation, learning-based systems, and deployed hardware.
Mecka AI is building the data infrastructure layer for robotics and embodied AI.
We work directly with robotics hardware partners and commercial operators to place best-in-class robotic systems into real-world environments — hotels, retail, pharmacy, logistics, healthcare, and beyond.
Our work happens on the ground — in commercial environments where execution, technical judgment, and trust determine whether deployments succeed and scale.
Our Mission
Robotics will become the largest industry in human history — larger than anything that has come before it. As intelligent machines move into the physical world, they will dramatically expand global GDP, raise the material standard of living for everyone, and ultimately help make humanity a multiplanetary civilization. None of that happens without one thing: enormous amounts of high-quality, real-world data.
Mecka AI builds that foundation. We are the data infrastructure layer for robotics and embodied AI — the substrate that teaches machines to perceive, reason, and act in reality. Get this right, and we accelerate the most important technological transition of our time.
Our Culture
Excellence as the baseline. We hold an extremely high bar and expect the best work of your career. Mediocrity isn't interesting to us.
Highly technical. We reason from first principles, not by analogy. The best argument wins — regardless of title or tenure.
Truth-seeking. We are relentlessly honest with ourselves and each other. We chase reality — measured, not assumed — and kill our own bad ideas fast.
Maniacal urgency. The work matters and the clock is real. We move fast, ship, measure, and iterate.
Extreme ownership. You own outcomes end-to-end — no hand-offs, no excuses, no waiting for permission.
Hardcore. This is a high-intensity environment for people who want to do the defining work of their lives.
The Role
We're hiring a Solutions Architect, Deployments to own the technical solutioning and on-the-ground execution of robotic deployments in commercial environments.
This is a hands-on, field-facing role. You will be the person who understands both the hardware and the environment — translating commercial operator needs into deployment plans that actually work, then seeing them through to execution.
You'll work closely with our sales team, hardware partners, and operations to ensure every deployment is scoped correctly, stood up smoothly, and performs reliably in the real world.
Responsibilities
Deployment Solutioning
Partner with the sales team pre-close to assess commercial environments and define deployment requirements
Design end-to-end deployment solutions — hardware placement, networking, integration, workflow design — tailored to each operator's environment
Develop pilots and phased rollout plans that de-risk deployments and build operator confidence
Serve as the technical authority during the sales process for deployment-related questions
On-Site Deployment Execution
Lead on-site deployment of partner robotics hardware across commercial settings
Ensure robots are correctly configured, calibrated, and operational before handoff
Troubleshoot hardware, software, and networking issues in real time
Own deployment quality end-to-end — from first install to stable operation
Customer & Partner Engagement
Act as the trusted technical point of contact for commercial operators post-sale
Translate operator feedback into actionable improvements for hardware partners and internal teams
Support operator staff with training, onboarding, and ongoing technical guidance
Build long-term relationships that support expansions and multi-site rollouts
Process & Playbook Development
Document deployment processes, configurations, and lessons learned from the field
Build repeatable deployment playbooks as we scale across new verticals and environments
Identify recurring challenges and work with engineering and partners to resolve them systematically
Who You Are
Required Experience
Hands-on experience deploying robots in real-world commercial or industrial environments
Prior role as a field engineer, solutions engineer, deployment engineer, or similar at a robotics or automation company
Strong understanding of robotics hardware — sensors, cameras, networking, compute, calibration
Experience working directly with end customers to scope and deliver technical solutions
Comfortable with Linux-based systems, networking, and on-site troubleshooting
Strong Signals
Deployed service robots, AMRs, or automation systems in hospitality, retail, logistics, healthcare, or similar environments
Experience bridging the gap between sales and engineering — translating customer needs into technical specs
Familiarity with systems integration, site surveys, and environment assessment
Built or contributed to deployment documentation or playbooks
You Are
Deeply hands-on and energized by field work
A clear technical communicator — equally comfortable with operators on the floor and engineers on a call
Calm under pressure and able to solve problems in real time
Detail-oriented and quality-focused — you don't leave a site until things are right
Able to travel to deployment sites as needed
Why This Role
Own the technical deployment motion for a fast-growing commercial robotics business
Work with cutting-edge hardware partners across high-impact commercial environments
High autonomy and direct influence on how Mecka scales deployments globally
Close collaboration with sales, engineering, and leadership
A chance to do the defining work of your career at a company building the future of physical AI
