Role Overview
We are seeking a highly motivated Robotics Software Engineer to join our team and help design, build, and deploy intelligent robotic systems. In this role, you will take ownership of software development that advances autonomy, perception, and human-robot interaction. You will work cross-functionally with hardware engineers and research scientists to deliver scalable, production-ready solutions that push the boundaries of robotics innovation. This is an opportunity for a hands-on engineer who thrives in a fast-paced environment and wants to make an immediate impact on real-world robotics applications.
Location: This is an onsite role based in our San Francisco HQ, 5 days in office.
Your Impact
- Design, implement, and optimize software for robotic systems, including motion planning, control, perception, and/or sensor fusion.
- Develop scalable, maintainable codebases in C++ and/or Python.
- Integrate software with robotic hardware (sensors, actuators, embedded systems) and ensure robust system performance.
- Run simulations, experiments, and on-hardware testing to validate system performance.
- Analyze data, identify bottlenecks, and propose/implement optimizations.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with mechanical, electrical, and research teams to deliver end-to-end robotic solutions.
- Document code, findings, and best practices to ensure knowledge sharing across the organization.
What You Bring
- Bachelor’s degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (Master’s or PhD preferred).
- Strong foundation in robotics principles such as kinematics, dynamics, control theory, and/or computer vision.
- Proficiency in ROS (Robot Operating System) and ROS2, with experience developing and deploying on both.
- Proficiency in C++ and/or Python.
- Experience with hardware integration (sensors, actuators, embedded systems).
- Strong debugging, problem-solving, and analytical skills.
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.
