Robots & Pencils is an applied AI engineering firm building the next frontier of business architecture. We design and ship AI co-workers that integrate into enterprise operations and deliver measurable results for our clients. We're all in on AWS, combining deep UX capability with senior engineering talent to get AI into production fast and keep it there.
We've earned the trust of leaders across Consumer Products and Retail, Education, Energy, Financial Services, Healthcare, and Manufacturing and more, and earned a reputation as the nimble alternative to traditional integral systems integrators. Founded in 2009, with delivery centers in Canada, the United States, Eastern Europe, and Latin America, we are smaller, faster, and more senior by design. Our teams average 15+ years of experience. We move fast, sweat the details, and build things that actually ship.

Position Overview

We're looking for a Tech Lead / AI Architect to serve as the primary technical authority on an AI-native vehicle assistant engagement for a leading technology client. This is a hands-on architecture role.



You will architect, implement, and ship — making system-level decisions and contributing code, often on the same day. The engagement centers on an in-vehicle AI assistant for a commercial fleet operations context, built for real-world use in constrained, connectivity-variable environments.

You will lead a focused Engineering POD building a dual-mode agentic AI assistant that operates fully offline on constrained edge hardware and cloud-connected via AWS Bedrock — integrating voice and chat interfaces, edge-optimized inference, a local SQLite data layer, cloud data mirroring, and a proactive alert and recommendation engine. You will own implementation directly across cloud infrastructure, data synchronization, STT/TTS integration, and agentic orchestration, while serving as the primary technical authority from architecture through delivery.
