Robotics Software Engineer

About the Role

Join the R&D team at an early-stage robotics company building software for AI-driven robots in production environments. This hands-on role spans the robotics stack, with work that directly supports robotic performance in real-world facilities.

What You'll Do

• Coordinate real-time robot software, motion planning optimization, and machine learning pipelines across platforms.

• Build and maintain data-labeling frontends, perception systems, and compilers for robot intelligence.

• Work across firmware, robotics software, and cloud infrastructure to solve high-priority technical challenges.

• Collaborate with teammates to design and ship systems that expand the capabilities of industrial robots.

• Deploy software in customer facilities and improve performance based on real-world operation.

What We're Looking For

• One to three years of software engineering experience in robotics, automation, or embedded systems.

• Experience building and shipping software for physical robotic systems used in production or by customers, with end-to-end ownership of an engineering outcome.

• Strong programming fundamentals and proficiency in Python; TypeScript and React are a plus.

• A BS or higher in computer science, robotics, or a related engineering field.

• Hands-on experience integrating hardware and software, with a solid understanding of full-system robotics.

• Experience in a fast-moving startup or high-ownership robotics environment, and comfort adapting priorities.

• Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, systemd, ROS, motion planning, or robot optimization is beneficial.
