Join an early-stage team developing industrial robotic systems for real-world manufacturing challenges in aerospace, energy, and defense. As a practical, deployment-focused engineer, you'll design software for motion planning, computer vision, and real-time control, deploying code directly to physical robots that reach production in 1-2 months. Your work will help scale automation to meet growing customer demand across critical U.S. manufacturing workflows.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design and develop software for industrial robotic systems across motion planning, computer vision, and real-time control
- Write, test, and deploy code directly onto physical robots, with most work reaching production systems within 1-2 months
- Work across the full robotics stack as a generalist, contributing from perception to planning to system integration
- Travel to customer sites up to 2 months per year to deploy, debug, and support robots in real manufacturing environments
- Build tools, interfaces, and infrastructure like GUIs and workflows that enable reliable robot operation on the shop floor
- Contribute to key architectural decisions and help scale robotics stack, including motion planning frameworks
2-6 years of experience in robotics software engineering, with focus on Python and deployment to real-world systems
Built and deployed software on physical robotic systems, not just simulation, ideally industrial robot arms or manipulation
Integrated vision systems like cameras and depth sensors with robots for real-world tasks including calibration and perception-to-action loops
Experience with ROS or similar robotic middleware
Strong Python skills to write production-quality code deployed to robots
Strong hands-on experience in at least one of: motion planning, computer vision, or robot learning
B.S. in Computer Science, Robotics, or Mechanical/Electrical Engineering
Preferred:
Experience with robotics frameworks like Drake or similar
Working across the full robotics stack
Strong robotics and manufacturing background
Experience in industrial automation companies
AI/ML experience
