About Clutterbot

Are you ready to join the robotics revolution? Clutterbot is not your average technology company. We're a dynamic and innovative team, creating cutting-edge solutions that bring order to the chaos in people's lives.

Our mission is simple yet powerful : creating tidy spaces for people with busy lives. By developing an autonomous household robot that picks up toys, clothing, and everything in between, we're transforming the way families live. Join us at the forefront of robotics, machine learning, and software, and let's make a lasting impact together!

About The Role

As Head of Autonomy, you will lead the teams responsible for building the intelligence behind our robots. You will oversee the Robot Software, Machine Learning, and Data Annotation teams, with a focus on team structure, ownership, and execution. Your role is to ensure that teams are aligned, well-supported, and set up to deliver high-quality outcomes.

You will also serve as the Site Lead for our Bangalore office. In this capacity, you will help shape the office culture, support coordination with global teams, and grow our presence in India’s technology ecosystem.

This is a leadership role centered on building strong teams, setting direction, and ensuring consistent delivery. You will work closely with technical leaders, but will not be expected to own low-level design or implementation.

What you’ll be doing

Technical Leadership and Strategy

  • Define and communicate the autonomy roadmap in partnership with product and technical leads
  • Ensure teams have clear goals, well-defined responsibilities, and efficient processes
  • Support planning and decision-making across autonomy, hardware, and product teams
  • Create alignment across teams while helping to resolve prioritization or execution challenges

Team Management

  • Lead and support multiple autonomy teams, such as :
  • Robot Software teams focusing on areas like high-level behaviors, system state, localization, mapping, and navigation
  • Machine Learning teams focusing on robot perception, model development, ML platforms, and data management
  • Data Annotation teams building scalable data pipelines and workflows
  • Build an environment of trust, accountability, and continuous improvement
  • Provide mentoring, feedback, and career development support for team members and leads
  • Bangalore Site Leadership

  • Act as the senior leader for our Bangalore office and ensure strong alignment with our global team based in New Zealand.
  • Cultivate a high-performance, inclusive engineering culture. Support hiring efforts and retain key team members.
  • Represent the company within India’s technology and robotics ecosystem. Build relationships with academic institutions, partners, and local communities.
  • Execution and Delivery

  • Drive execution across teams using structured planning and agile delivery practices
  • Monitor progress against milestones, identify and resolve blockers, and ensure high-quality output
  • Track delivery KPIs, engineering effectiveness, and team health
  • Oversee validation and testing efforts to ensure real-world performance and safety
  • Experience

  • At least 10 years of experience in robotics or AI, including 5 years in management or technical leadership roles
  • Strong understanding of autonomy systems such as SLAM, planning, perception, and ML-based decision-making
  • Proven experience scaling and structuring engineering teams with clear ownership and cross-functional alignment
  • Familiarity with tools and frameworks including Python, C++, ROS, and machine learning stacks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow
  • Excellent communication and leadership skills, with a focus on clarity, execution, and collaboration
  • Why Join Us

  • Build a category-defining robotics product that aims to improve everyday life for millions
  • Solve real-world problems using cutting-edge technology and thoughtful design
  • Join a smart, collaborative, world-class team in a fast-paced and flexible environment
  • Work from our new 23,508 sq ft modern office in HSR Layout, designed for focus, teamwork, and execution
  • Enjoy competitive pay, stock options, healthcare, and great office perks
  • Create a job alert for this search
