Frontend Robotics Engineer Job Mountain View area,California USA,Software Development

As a Frontend Robotics Engineer on our Customer Success team, you will act as the crucial bridge between our core technology and our customers and partners
You will help design, build, and customize Human‑Machine Interfaces (HMIs) that empower our partners to deploy complex robotic automation systems
In this role, you will take existing reference solutions and customize them for specific customer use cases, adding new features, controls, and 3D visualizations
We are looking for a “T‑shaped” developer: an engineer with deep expertise in building web interfaces, coupled with the ability to navigate backend systems in Python and C++
While you will have the support of dedicated backend engineers to build core infrastructure, you should be entirely comfortable navigating backend code to understand and debug data flows, trace API endpoints, and collaborate effectively across the stack
You will need to be familiar with how data travels from hardware to software and have a solid understanding of network systems
Additionally, you will work directly with customers and partners to guide their development and get hands‑on with physical robotics hardware to ensure your interfaces work flawlessly in the real world
Collaborate directly with customers/partners to understand their specific use cases and customize reference HMIs to meet their product needs
Develop visually rich, user‑friendly web applications that allow non‑experts to interact with, monitor, and control industrial robotic workcells
Bridge the technical gap for customers by guiding them through frontend development best practices and helping them eventually own their custom HMI services
Integrate complex features, such as real‑time 3D visualizations and process data, partnering seamlessly with backend engineers to wire up new data streams
Work hands‑on in the lab and in the field with physical robots, hardware, and automation equipment to test and validate your software interfaces
Create and maintain an accessible system of reusable frontend components in collaboration with our Design team

Qualifications

3+ years of professional experience in frontend web application development and design, with deep expertise in Angular, Type Script, and Three.js
Experience building visually rich, user‑friendly client‑side applications that enable complex interactions
Backend confidence: A strong ability to collaborate with backend teams – you should be comfortable navigating codebases in Go, C++, or Python and understanding data structures to trace data flows and unblock frontend integration tasks
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a proven ability to collaborate directly with customers or external partners
A strong willingness and excitement to work hands‑on with physical hardware and robotic systems (no prior robotics experience strictly required, but curiosity is a must)
Previous experience in a Customer Success, Solutions Engineering, Developer Relations, or forward‑deployed engineering role
Familiarity with server‑side (Go, C++, gRPC, etc.) software
Experience with 3D graphics and visualization libraries in a web context (e.g., WebGL)
Familiarity with industrial automation, robotics, manufacturing, or human‑machine interface (HMI) design
