About
Abraham Dauhajre
Founder and engineering leader with 15+ years building software platforms and engineering teams across robotics, simulation, cloud infrastructure, AR, AI/ML systems, and consumer devices.
My work sits at the intersection of robotics, AI, and full-stack cloud systems: the frontend tools, backend services, data pipelines, infrastructure, deployment workflows, and observability needed to turn technical prototypes into production platforms.
Abraham Dauhajre is a founder and engineering leader with 15+ years of experience building software platforms and engineering teams across robotics, simulation, cloud infrastructure, AR, AI/ML systems, and consumer devices.
He led robotics simulation at Amazon Lab126 and the global content-metadata pipeline behind every title on Amazon Prime Video; was Head of Engineering at Formant, where he built cloud robotics infrastructure and engineering teams from the ground up; and was Director of Cloud Infrastructure at Savioke.
His career spans the boundary between software and the physical world, now often called physical AI: from consumer devices and AR at companies like CastAR, Immersion, and BlackBerry, to autonomous service robots at Savioke, to cloud-native infrastructure and AI/ML systems today.
He is currently building a stealth startup in embodied AI with hybrid robotics/cloud infrastructure.
Experience
- NowFounder & EngineerBuilding a stealth startup in embodied AI with hybrid robotics/cloud infrastructure.
- PriorRobotics Simulation Lead, Amazon Lab126Led robotics simulation for consumer robotics: synthetic data, sensor realism, and sim-to-real.
- PriorContent Pipeline & Global Metadata, Amazon Prime VideoLed the team behind the content pipeline for every title on Prime Video: petabyte-scale metadata ingestion, fault tolerance, and a re-architecture from a monolith to decoupled microservices.
- PriorHead of Engineering, FormantBuilt cloud robotics observability & operations infrastructure and the team from the ground up; scaled ROS-based fleet environments to thousands of robots on Kubernetes/AWS.
- PriorDirector of Cloud Infrastructure, SaviokeMigrated a service-robot fleet to containerized Docker/Kubernetes deployments; deployed an AWS IoT stack and hardware-traceability tooling across the fleet.

Writing, talks & research
I write and speak about cloud robotics, sim-to-real, fleet operations, and what breaks between demo and production. A few pieces:
-
Security by Design: end-to-end encryption and identity for robotics systems
Why perimeter/VPN security fails for robot fleets, and how to do end-to-end encryption and identity instead.
-
Realistic Synthetic Household Data Generation at Scale
Generating realistic synthetic household data at scale for embodied-AI and robotics simulation.
-
Automation of Robot Data Collection for Business Insights
Turning robot-shaped operational data into operational and business insight.
