The bet
UT Austin spinout hiring 200+ people over the next year on top of ~300 today, with April 2026 exec hires from Waymo, Boston Dynamics, and Amazon signaling a real pedigree upgrade in leadership.
Why it is a great place to work
Real hardware, real deployed robot, backed by Google and Mercedes-Benz, still small enough that an early hire owns serious scope.
