You will develop the foundational platform that powers perception, planning, control, and autonomous operation—helping transform prototypes into reliable production robots.

Responsibilities

  • Design software interfaces between high-level robot applications and low-level sensors, actuators, embedded controllers, and communication buses.
  • Design and integrate mechatronic systems, mechanisms, and test fixtures; develop, troubleshoot, and improve electrical subsystems and interfaces.
  • Integrate and debug complex robotic systems spanning software, embedded, networking, electrical, and mechanical domains.
  • Diagnose performance, reliability, timing, and hardware-interface issues across the robot stack.
  • Drive system reliability and scalability through rigorous testing and root-cause analysis.
  • Requires 5 days/week in-office collaboration with the team.

Requirements

  • BS/MS in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 4+ years of hands-on robotics experience in industry, academia, or research labs, with a track record of building, integrating, and deploying real robotic systems.
  • Experience developing drivers, hardware abstraction layers, or software interfaces for sensors, actuators, or embedded devices.
  • Hands-on experience with several of the following: ROS/ROS2, real-time or embedded Linux, fieldbus or device communications, distributed middleware, sensor/actuator integration, and performance optimization.
  • Ability to design and troubleshoot basic electrical circuits and mechanical components for robotic systems.
  • Strong debugging, system integration, and root-cause analysis skills.

Bonus Qualifications

  • Experience with humanoids, mobile manipulators, or similar platforms.
  • Experience with Linux kernel development, kernel modules, device drivers, or low-level systems software.
  • Experience optimizing communication, latency, reliability, or observability in distributed robotic systems.
  • Experience with AI-enabled robotic systems, teleoperation/data-collection devices (e.g., Gello- or UMI-style systems), and real-world robot data pipelines.

Benefits

  • Competitive stock options/equity programs.
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) plan.
  • Visa sponsorship and green card support for qualified candidates.
  • Lunches and dinners, a fully stocked kitchen, and regular team-building events.
