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, shipping systems that improve real-world performance.

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 address technical challenges.

• Collaborate with teammates to design and deliver integrated robotics systems.

• Deploy software at customer facilities and monitor its impact on robot performance.

What We're Looking For

• One to three years of software engineering experience in robotics, automation, or embedded systems, with experience beyond a junior-level profile.

• Experience building and shipping software for physical robotic systems, such as manipulation or autonomous hardware, in production or customer environments.

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

• Hands-on experience integrating hardware and software across robotics systems; familiarity with ROS, motion planning, or robot optimization is valuable.

• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, systemd, and C/C++ 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.
