About Cyngn
Based in Mountain View, CA, Cyngn is a publicly-traded autonomous technology company. We deploy self-driving industrial vehicles like forklifts and tuggers to factories, warehouses, and other facilities throughout North America. To build this emergent technology, we are looking for innovative, motivated, and experienced leaders to join us and move this field forward. If you like to build, tinker, and create with a team of trusted and passionate colleagues, then Cyngn is the place for you. Key reasons to join Cyngn:
We are small and big.
With under 100 employees, Cyngn operates with the energy of a startup. On the other hand, we’re publicly traded. This means our employees not only work in close-knit teams with mentorship from company leaders—they also get access to the liquidity of our publicly-traded equity.
We build today and deploy tomorrow.
Our autonomous vehicles aren’t just test concepts—they’re deployed to real clients right now. That means your work will have a tangible, visible impact.
We aren’t robots. We just develop them.
We’re a welcoming, diverse team of sharp thinkers and kind humans. Collaboration and trust drive our creative environment. At Cyngn, everyone’s perspective matters—and that’s what powers our innovation.
About this role:
The Director of Business Development will play a pivotal role in driving Cyngn’s growth strategy through strategic partnerships, M&A and corporate transactions. This individual will work closely with the CEO and executive team to identify, evaluate, and execute opportunities that accelerate revenue growth, expand our technology capabilities, and strengthen our market position.
This is a cross-functional leadership role that blends strategy, finance, business development, and corporate governance. The ideal candidate has experience in technology-driven industries—preferably autonomous systems, robotics, mobility, or industrial automation—and preferably understands both the operational and capital markets dimensions of a NASDAQ-listed company.
