• Work across firmware, robotics software, and cloud infrastructure to address technical challenges.
• Collaborate with teammates to design and deliver integrated robotics systems.
• Deploy software at customer facilities and monitor its impact on robot performance.

Requirements

• One to three years of software engineering experience in robotics, automation, or embedded systems, with experience beyond a junior-level profile.
• Experience building and shipping software for physical robotic systems, such as manipulation or autonomous hardware, in production or customer environments.
• Strong programming fundamentals and proficiency in Python; TypeScript and React are useful.
• Hands-on experience integrating hardware and software across robotics systems; familiarity with ROS, motion planning, or robot optimization is valuable.
• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, systemd, and C/C++ 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.
