Build Robots That Work in the Real World

We’re looking for a Senior Robotics Engineer to help develop the next generation of intelligent, autonomous robotic systems. You’ll work at the intersection of robotics software, perception, motion planning, controls, and AI—turning cutting-edge research into reliable technology that performs outside the lab.

This is a hands on engineering role for someone who loves solving complex problems across software, sensors, hardware, and real-world environments. You’ll have meaningful technical ownership, influence the robotics roadmap, and work alongside a highly collaborative team building technology from the ground up.

What You’ll Do
  • Design, build, and deploy production-grade robotics software using C++ and Python
  • Develop capabilities across motion planning, controls, localization, navigation, perception, and sensor fusion
  • Build and optimize systems using ROS/ROS 2
  • Integrate cameras, LiDAR, IMUs, encoders, actuators, and other robotic hardware
  • Apply modern AI, machine learning, and computer vision techniques to improve robotic intelligence and autonomy
  • Develop simulation, testing, calibration, diagnostics, and hardware-in-the-loop infrastructure
  • Debug complex issues spanning software, firmware, electronics, and mechanical systems
  • Improve system reliability, safety, performance, and scalability for real-world deployment
  • Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, embedded, AI, and product teams
  • Mentor other engineers and help shape technical standards and architecture
What We’re Looking For
  • 5+ years of professional experience building robotics, autonomous systems, or intelligent hardware products
  • Strong programming skills in modern C++ and Python
  • Experience with ROS or ROS 2
  • Deep knowledge in one or more areas such as:
  • Motion planning and controls
  • Localization, mapping, and SLAM
  • Computer vision and robotic perception
  • Sensor fusion
  • Manipulation
  • Experience developing and debugging systems that interact with physical hardware
  • Familiarity with Linux, Git, CI/CD, simulation, and automated testing
  • Strong systems-thinking skills and the ability to operate across technical disciplines
  • Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field—or equivalent practical experience
Bonus Points
  • Experience with NVIDIA Isaac, Gazebo, Mu Jo Co , CUDA, PyTorch, OpenCV, or real-time systems
  • Background deploying robots into production or customer environments
  • Experience with edge AI, foundation models, vision-language-action models, reinforcement learning, or learned control
  • Knowledge of functional safety, fault-tolerant systems, or robotics security
  • Experience leading major technical initiatives in a fast-paced startup environment
Why Join Us?
  • Build advanced robotic systems with meaningful real-world applications
  • Work with the newest technologies across robotics, AI, autonomy, and intelligent hardware
  • Own critical technical decisions from early architecture through deployment
  • Collaborate with an ambitious, multidisciplinary engineering team
  • Join at a stage where your ideas and engineering judgment will directly influence the product and company
  • Competitive compensation, equity, comprehensive benefits, and opportunities for continued professional growth
