Design, prototype, and iterate tactile, proprioceptive, and force sensing mechanical subsystems. Create CAD models and drawings, build and test prototypes, develop validation methods, support DFM/DFA and transition to manufacturable assemblies, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and sustain engineering through failure investigation and process improvements.

Lead design, integration, and sustaining engineering of mechanical subsystems for robotic platforms. Create and maintain CAD models, drawings, and tolerancing; build and test prototypes; develop validation and test methods; support DFM/DFA and transition to manufacturable assemblies; collaborate with cross-functional teams and manufacturing partners; investigate failures and drive iterative improvements toward production readiness.

Lead enterprise B2B communications for OpenAI Business: set strategy, shape press narratives, advise senior leaders, partner with marketing and GTM, build and scale comms teams, and drive storytelling to position OpenAI with technical and executive buyers.

Design, build, and scale privacy features and infrastructure using confidential computing, trusted execution environments, and end-to-end encryption across ChatGPT, the API, and future devices. Improve build systems, integrate safety and integrity tooling, operate highly reliable systems at scale (including on-call), and collaborate cross-functionally with product, security, safety, policy, and legal teams.

Design, build, and operate backend infrastructure and shared harnesses for AI agents. Create reusable capabilities for context, tool use, memory, orchestration, identity, observability, and safe execution. Collaborate with research and product teams to turn research into dependable production services optimized for reliability, cost, and latency.

Build and operate developer-facing APIs and backend services for multimodal AI (image, audio, real-time). Design low-latency streaming, session, and model-integration systems; ensure availability, latency, scalability, and cost efficiency. Partner with Research, Inference, and Safety; own projects end-to-end from design through launch and iteration.

Manage cross-functional safety and risk processes for model deployments, track safety research and mitigations, run pre-launch safety reviews, build compute roadmaps, document metrics and evaluations, coordinate with partners (e.g., Microsoft), and publish safety learnings and datasets.

Own end-to-end pricing strategy for OpenAI's API platform, including model launch pricing, packaging, discount logic, governance, and performance tracking. Partner cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Data Science, Finance, and GTM to recommend pricing, build monetization frameworks, and drive data-driven commercial decisions that align customer value with product and business goals.

Define pricing frameworks, discounting guardrails, and commercial constructs for sales-managed segments. Partner with Sales, Finance, Product, and Legal to build executable proposals, analyze tradeoffs, and support high-impact monetization decisions that balance customer value and unit economics.

Lead operational engagement with third-party infrastructure providers, establishing governance, SLAs, KPIs, dashboards, and escalation processes. Coordinate cross-functional teams to resolve incidents, drive delivery, monitor partner performance, and implement continuous operational improvements for hyperscale compute infrastructure.
