Robotics Software Engineer

ABOUT THE ROLE

Join the R&D team at a Series A robotics company building software for AI-driven robots in production environments. You will work across the robotics stack to ship systems that improve the performance of robots operating in real-world facilities.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Orchestrate real-time robot software, motion planning optimization systems, and machine learning pipelines across multiple platforms.
• Build and maintain data-labeling frontends, perception systems, and optimizing compilers for robot intelligence.
• Work across the stack, from firmware to cloud infrastructure, to solve pressing technical challenges.
• Collaborate with teammates to design and ship systems that enable robots to perform effectively in production.
• Deploy software in customer facilities and ensure it delivers reliable real-world robotic performance.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Two to four years of software engineering experience in robotics, automation, or embedded systems, with strong Python skills.
• Experience shipping and owning production systems end to end, ideally in a high-ownership robotics or startup environment.
• Hands-on experience developing and integrating software for production robotics systems, including hardware and software.
• Strong programming fundamentals; experience with TypeScript, React, Docker, Kubernetes, systemd, ROS, C, or C++ is useful.
• Experience with real-time, scalable, or reliability-focused systems, and familiarity with motion planning or robot optimization.
• A bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, robotics, or a related engineering field.
• Comfort adapting priorities and responsibilities in a fast-moving environment.
