Physical AI is transforming industries. From robotics and autonomous systems to intelligent hardware and advanced automation, companies are racing to build smarter physical products powered by AI.
At Edison Smart, we specialise in Physical AI recruitment. From our Texas office, we partner with high growth startups and global innovators to build the engineering and product teams that make these technologies possible.
If you are scaling in autonomy, robotics or intelligent systems, we understand the talent you need and how to secure it.
What Physical AI Recruitment Really Means
Recruiting in Physical AI is different from traditional software hiring. It requires deep understanding of hardware and software integration, real time systems, safety critical engineering and AI deployment in the real world.
We work closely with hiring leaders to understand your product roadmap, technical environment and growth plans. Our approach is strategic, not transactional. We build teams that move your product forward.
Our Areas of Expertise
We recruit across the full Physical AI ecosystem, supporting clients at every stage of growth.
Embedded Systems and Firmware
We place engineers who design and optimise low level software that powers intelligent devices. From C and C++ to RTOS and hardware integration, we connect you with embedded systems engineers who deliver performance, reliability and scalability.
Key hiring areas include embedded systems recruitment, firmware engineers in Texas and robotics embedded talent.
Cyber and Hardware Security
Security is fundamental in connected and autonomous systems. We recruit hardware security specialists with expertise in secure boot, cryptography, threat modelling and device protection.
Our network supports companies hiring cybersecurity engineers and embedded security experts across Texas and globally.
AI Software Planning, Perception and Algorithm Development
AI software is central to Physical AI innovation. We place engineers working in perception, sensor fusion, planning algorithms and machine learning for real world applications.
If you are hiring AI software engineers, autonomous systems specialists or perception engineers in Texas, we deliver talent that understands real time performance and production environments.
Simulation and Test Engineering
Simulation and validation are critical to accelerating development and reducing risk. We recruit simulation engineers and test specialists who build automated frameworks, validation tools and testing pipelines for autonomous and robotics systems.
Guidance, Navigation and Control GNC
For autonomy to work, control systems must be precise and reliable. We place GNC engineers with expertise in control theory, navigation systems, estimation and real time modelling across robotics, aerospace and autonomous platforms.
Product Management and Strategy
Strong product leadership aligns technical execution with commercial vision. We recruit product managers and strategic leaders who understand AI enabled hardware products and can scale teams effectively.
Data Science and Data Engineering
High performance Physical AI systems rely on structured, scalable data. We place data scientists and data engineers who build pipelines, optimise models and drive insight across intelligent systems.
Forward Deployment
Deployment engineers play a critical role in customer integration and real world implementation. We connect clients with forward deployment specialists and field engineers who ensure successful rollout and long term adoption.
