What You'll Do System Integration & Architecture

Define and document system architectures spanning mechanical, electrical, firmware, and software domains

Drive system-level integration for new robot platforms, ensuring smooth functionality across sensors, actuators, compute, and communication subsystems

Design and develop early prototypes to de-risk new technologies and validate system concepts

Software & Control Systems

Develop software systems to control and test robot platforms at the system level

Build custom test frameworks and automation tools for validation and debugging

Create data visualization and diagnostic tools to monitor system performance

Testing, Validation & Deployment

Develop and execute comprehensive test plans to validate motion, sensing, control, and manipulation capabilities

Commission and operate robotic systems from initial bring-up through production deployment

Own overall functional and performance readiness throughout the full product lifecycle

Problem Solving & Cross-Functional Collaboration

Lead root cause analysis for complex issues spanning hardware, firmware, and software

Triage and debug system interactions during design, launch, and deployment phases

Work closely with mechanical, electrical, perception, controls, and AI teams to deliver integrated solutions

Required Qualifications

BS in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, or related field with 5+ years of industrial experience; OR MS with 3+ years

3+ years of hands-on industrial experience with robotic system integration, commissioning, and validation

Strong proficiency in C++ and Python for system-level programming, automation, and data analysis

Deep understanding of robotic system architecture including compute, sensing, actuation, and control

Hands-on experience with communication protocols (CAN, EtherCAT, Ethernet, serial interfaces)

Proficient with Linux-based systems and embedded systems debugging

Experience with hardware bring-up and validating electromechanical systems

Excellent problem-solving abilities and strong communication skills across technical disciplines

Genuine passion for robotics—you love working with robots and are excited to dedicate yourself to pushing the boundaries of what they can do

Ability to thrive in a fast-paced startup environment where your work directly impacts our trajectory
