Junior Robotics Software Engineer

About the Role

Join the R&D team at a Series A robotics startup building software for AI-driven robots in production environments. You'll work across the robotics stack to help deliver systems that perform reliably in real-world settings.

What You'll Do

• Coordinate real-time robot software, motion-planning optimization, and machine learning pipelines across multiple platforms.

• Build and maintain data-labeling interfaces, perception systems, and compilers for robot intelligence.

• Work across firmware, robotics software, and cloud infrastructure to address high-priority technical challenges.

• Collaborate with teammates to design, build, and ship integrated robotics systems.

• Deploy software in customer facilities and improve robotic performance in production.

What We're Looking For

• One to three years of software engineering experience in robotics, automation, or embedded systems.

• Strong Python skills and programming fundamentals; experience with TypeScript and React is a plus.

• Hands-on experience building and shipping software for physical robotic systems, such as robotic arms, manipulation systems, or autonomous hardware.

• Experience with hardware and software integration and a broad understanding of robotics systems.

• Familiarity with technologies such as ROS, C/C++, Docker, Kubernetes, and systemd.

• A bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, robotics, or a related engineering field.

• Comfort working in a fast-moving environment, taking ownership, and shifting focus as priorities evolve.
