The role involves leading the development of a sensor fusion layer for robotics systems, focusing on creating robust AI Native services and middleware that improve deployment outcomes. Founders will use their domain expertise to build a transformative B2B SaaS business.
The summary above was generated by AI

Sensor fusion is foundational infrastructure being treated like custom engineering. It wastes time, costs money, and breaks in production.

Developers building production robotics hit the same wall on every deployment. Low-level sensor drivers written from scratch. Adapters rebuilt. DDS configurations tuned by hand. Calibration logic rewritten. When it breaks, timestamps drift, QoS misconfigures, latency goes inconsistent, sensor fusion fails. Bad perception. Bad decisions. Robots that fail in the field.

The opportunity: Become the sensor fusion layer every robotics team consumes instead of builds. Own the data foundation, then expand into the constraint layer, the policy layer, and the full middleware stack sitting between hardware and AI models across every robotics vertical.

We're looking for Founders to leverage their domain expertise, and are convinced AI can deliver the outcomes better than humans to build full-stack, AI Native services in industries where outcomes depend on expertise, regulation, and trust.
Your Partners in Co-Creation:

Forum's AI Studio brings together ambitious people, brilliant ideas, and capital to build the best B2B SaaS businesses in the world, from 0 to 1. In addition to capital and an idea, we provide founders with access to investor networks, fundraising support, and the resources needed to build transformational companies. We've launched 17 companies since 2023, and we're launching 7 more in 2026. We're designed to help Founders move faster, develop better insights, and build companies that have a higher success rate than startups built in any other way.

  • A $250K USD investment, and an end-to-end fundraising playbook and network to raise your seed and Series A

  • A validation partner with proven playbooks, networks, and the systems to validate, unlock your ICP, ignite your sales pipeline, and beyond

  • The support of our experienced operating team - from business design, product development, growth, recruitment, legal and more

  • Executing a winning GTM strategy to get to $50-100K ARR, and the right MVP to ensure early traction

  • A community full of mentors, peers, and leaders

  • $100K worth of business perks

About you:

  • Early-stage operator experience, and expertise in the problem space you're building in.

  • The ability to attract, hire and lead world-class teams

  • A demonstrated passion for technology’s ability to change the world

  • A desire to be a venture-backed founder

  • Canada or US-based, and the ability to collaborate in North American time zones.
