FAQ

Does a policy background from a non‑robotics company disqualify me?
No. The decision hinges on demonstrated robot‑safety ownership, not the employer name. In Q2 2024, a Microsoft Trust & Safety lead passed because he quantified a 150 ms detection target.

How many interview rounds should I expect?
Five. The loop includes two policy‑focused rounds, two technical‑focused rounds, and one compensation round. The average timeline is 27 days from recruiter call to final debrief.

What compensation should I negotiate?
Base $180,000, RSU $150,000, sign‑on $30,000 max. Prioritize RSU; a $10,000 RSU bump outweighs a $30,000 sign‑on after two years of vesting.amazon.com/dp/B0GWWJQ2S3).
