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. You will work across the robotics stack to ship systems that improve real-world robot performance.

What You'll Do

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

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

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

• Collaborate with teammates to design and ship systems for production robotics.

• Deploy software in customer facilities and evaluate its impact on robot performance.

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 ownership of engineering outcomes end to end.

• Strong programming fundamentals and Python proficiency; experience with TypeScript, React, or C/C++ is useful.

• Hands-on experience with production robotics and hardware/software integration, beyond web or CRUD applications.

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

• A bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, robotics, or a related engineering field.

• Comfort working in a fast-moving, high-ownership environment with evolving priorities.
