Description

Who we are: Our name is inspired by Theodore Roosevelt’s ‘Citizenship in a Republic’ speech, which pays homage to the ‘(hu)man in the Arena’. To us, entering the Arena means committing oneself fully and accepting the risk of failure in the pursuit of an audacious, worthy cause. We’re a close-knit team of scientists and builders redefining the future of hardware engineering. If you share our passion for delving deep into real-world problems and solving them with fully autonomous AI, join us in the Arena. What we do: Our collective future is being built in the physical world, but the builders of tomorrow’s technology can no longer rely on yesterday’s tools. At Arena, we’re building the world’s first AI industrial engineer designed to solve the most complex hardware and manufacturing challenges. Our product, Atlas, is built with an understanding of the behavior of physical systems, powered by a superior knowledge of core domains of physics. Paired with its ability to reason about multimodal industrial data, Atlas can test, debug, optimize, and repair physical systems and products in the real world. Arena is already trusted by some of the most advanced industrial companies in the world (AMD, Bausch & Lomb), and we're rapidly already scaling into the defense, automotive, and aerospace industries, and we’re just getting started. About the role: As a Deployment Strategist, you will own the success of an Atlas deployment from end to end—from use case identification and workflow mapping to new feature development that accelerate hardware innovation. Working on fast timelines, you'll collaborate closely with customers, users, and Arena's engineering, and GTM teams to successfully deploy Atlas, while measuring and demonstrating real-world value. Your responsibilities include building a deep understanding of your users, their organizations, and their workflows, then identifying how new or existing Atlas features will transform their processes. You'll work directly with customers to remove technical and organizational blockers, making you a key player in their success. In close collaboration with our engineering team, you'll work with Arena's product leadership to identify and develop new features that deliver maximum value to users in real-world scenarios. This is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience driving innovation across some of the world's most vital industries—ideal for those aspiring to become founders or product leaders.

Ensure deployment success through consistent on-site presence and deep understanding of the problem. Drive user adoption - drive usage of Atlas with our customers, and provide structured, technical product feedback.
