About the role

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 to ship systems that improve real-world robot performance.

What You'll Do

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

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

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

  • Collaborate with teammates to design and ship systems for production robotics.

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

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 engineering outcomes end to end.

  • Strong programming fundamentals and Python proficiency; experience with TypeScript, React, or C/C++ is useful.

  • Hands-on experience with production robotics and hardware/software integration, beyond web or CRUD applications.

  • Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, systemd, ROS, motion planning, or robot optimization 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.
