Robotics Software Engineer

About the Role

Join the R&D team at a robotics startup building software for AI-driven robots operating in real-world production environments. You will work across the robotics stack, shipping systems that improve how robots perform in production.

What You'll Do

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

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

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

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

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

What We're Looking For

• Two to four years of software engineering experience in robotics, automation, or embedded systems.

• Strong Python skills and solid programming fundamentals; TypeScript and React are a plus.

• Hands-on experience shipping production robotics systems, ideally in a startup or other high-ownership environment.

• Experience owning engineering outcomes end to end and working with systems that have real-time, reliability, scale, or hardware integration requirements.

• Familiarity with robotics software such as ROS, motion planning, or robot optimization, and tools such as Docker, Kubernetes, or systemd.

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

• Comfort adapting priorities and working across software and hardware boundaries.
