1X
Senior Robotics Engineer, Software | Software Engineering
Palo Alto, CA (on-site)
About 1X We build humanoid robots that work alongside people to solve labor shortages and create abundance.
The Role As a Senior Robotics Software Engineer on the Real-Time Software Team, you will develop core real‑time C++ systems and tools that integrate with hardware and sensors to ensure robot performance and safety. Your work will be key to transitioning 1X’s robots from R&D to large‑scale manufacturing and deployment.
You Will
Develop production‑grade, real‑time C++ software for robust control systems
Design efficient algorithms for state estimation
Create tools for system identification and precise calibration of actuators, transmissions, and full‑body kinematics
Integrate hardware components and evaluate sensors to ensure seamless functionality
Build hardware bring‑up and debugging tools
Develop software for robot health monitoring, visualization, and logging
Build and maintain APIs for other software components to command and control the robot
Must Have
3+ years of professional software engineering experience in a relevant robotics field
Proficiency in C++ and strong skills in other programming languages
Experience with Linux in hardware‑oriented products such as robots, drones, or IoT devices
Deep understanding of object‑oriented programming, real‑time programming, linear algebra, data structures, and algorithms
Familiarity with product development practices including release mechanisms, CI/CD workflows
Strong Linux system‑level knowledge including kernel tuning, process scheduling, and memory management (preferred)
Solid understanding of rigid body dynamics and numerical optimization techniques for real‑time systems (preferred)
Experience with embedded C for sensor and actuator interfacing (preferred)
Hands‑on experience with robotics hardware, personal robotics projects, or hardware tinkering (preferred)
Benefits & Compensation
Salary Range: $137,861 – $240,000 + Equity
Health, dental, and vision insurance
401(k) with company match
Paid time off and holidays
