Robotics Software Engineer

About the Role

Join the R&D team at a Series A robotics startup building software for AI-driven robots in production environments. You will work across the robotics stack to improve real-world robotic performance, from hardware-level systems to cloud infrastructure.

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 the stack, from firmware to cloud infrastructure, to address high-priority technical challenges.

• Collaborate with teammates to design and ship systems that help robots perform complex tasks.

• Deploy software in customer facilities and improve performance in real production environments.

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 outcomes end to end.

• Strong programming fundamentals and proficiency in Python; experience with TypeScript and React is a plus.

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

• Hands-on experience with hardware and software integration; familiarity with C/C++, ROS, motion planning, or robot optimization is beneficial.

• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, or systemd is beneficial.

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