Job Summary

Own the end-to-end enterprise buying journey for Physical AI infrastructure by prospecting lighthouse customers, shaping ICPs, translating workloads into product requirements, driving partnerships, and evangelizing the platform through industry leadership.

  • Lead executive engagement and deal closure with autonomous robotics and AV players
  • Define ICP and unique value proposition for robotics and autonomy customers
  • Translate customer needs into product requirements and drive ecosystem partnerships

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Executive Player-Coach Selling: Act as the tip of the spear. You will personally prospect, engage, negotiate, and close complex, multi-year GPU compute contracts with the earliest, most critical lighthouse customers in this sector.
  • Define the Vertical Strategy: Map the entire Physical AI landscape. You will define the highly specific Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) and craft the distinct Nscale value proposition for companies building complex autonomous systems, robots, and self-driving cars.
  • Product-Market Feedback Loop: Work directly and intimately with Nscale engineering and product teams. You will translate the unique, heavy simulation workloads and latency requirements of roboticists into concrete product requirements, ensuring our clusters meet their exact needs.
  • Ecosystem & Partnership Development: Identify and secure strategic partnerships with key robotics frameworks (e.g., ROS), simulation software providers, and autonomous driving platforms to embed Nscale natively into their development lifecycles.
  • Industry Evangelism: Establish Nscale as the de facto infrastructure layer for Physical AI by speaking at industry conferences, publishing thought leadership, and building advisory boards with leading AI researchers in robotics and autonomy.

Requirements

  • 12+ years of complex enterprise sales, business development, or GTM leadership, with a successful track record operating at the VP or Sr. Director level specifically within the autonomous vehicle, robotics, or industrial AI sectors.
  • A robust, highly active network of C-level executives (CEOs, CTOs) and VP-level engineering/AI leaders within the Physical AI ecosystem. You can get a meeting with top robotics labs and AV companies on day one.
  • Immense credibility and technical depth. You can converse comfortably and naturally with top-tier AI researchers about the nuances of simulation workloads, ROS integrations, edge-to-cloud latency constraints, and parallel processing architectures.
  • A fiercely entrepreneurial spirit. You seamlessly and happily transition from presenting a high-level strategic vision to the Board of Directors, to drafting your own cold emails to promising robotics startups.
  • Patience and persistence for long, highly technical enterprise sales cycles, paired with the urgency to drive foundational revenue.

Benefits

  • Highly competitive package (base + variable + equity) with reviews every 12 months.
  • Join the fastest-growing tech startup, your chance to push boundaries, collaborate with brilliant minds, and make your mark on cutting-edge AI.
  • Expect a dynamic progression plan tailored to your ambitions. Grow by trying new things, leading, challenging the status quo, and owning your impact, always with our full support.
  • Human-First Flexibility: We treat you as humans first. 🫶🏽 Our flexible workplace trusts Nscalers to deliver, giving you the autonomy to shape your day around life's moments.
  • Nscale may offer a competitive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, flexible paid time off, parental leave, and retirement plan participation.
