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 code that directly affects real-world system performance.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Orchestrate real-time robot software, motion-planning optimization systems, 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 address technical challenges.
• Collaborate with teammates to design and ship systems that expand the capabilities of production robots.
• Deploy software in customer facilities and improve robotic performance in real-world settings.

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, plus ownership of outcomes end to end.
• Strong programming fundamentals and proficiency in Python; TypeScript and React are useful.
• Hands-on experience with production robotics systems and hardware/software integration.
• A bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, robotics, or a related engineering field.
• Experience in a fast-moving startup or high-ownership engineering environment, and flexibility to work across changing priorities.
• Additional experience with Docker, Kubernetes, systemd, ROS, motion planning, C/C++, or robotics optimization is beneficial.
