Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Files H-1B transfers

8 transfer filings in the last year, covering 8 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.

About the role

  • Big, hard problems are our everyday work, and our team of intelligent, humble, and driven people make the impossible possible together.
  • We're seeking a Staff Robotics Software Engineer to provide technical leadership across our robotics software stack and help define the next generation of intelligent robotic systems.
  • This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who thrives on solving complex systems challenges while influencing technical direction across multiple teams.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the technical architecture and development of core robotics software across perception, motion planning, controls, and execution systems.
  • Design scalable software frameworks that enable reliable, maintainable, and high-performance robotic applications across multiple platforms.
  • Drive motion planning and trajectory generation for complex robotic tasks, including adaptive sensor-driven motion and multi-robot coordination.
  • Develop advanced kinematics, collision checking, reachability analysis, and optimization algorithms for robotic manipulators.
  • Build and optimize real-time control systems, trajectory correction, feature tracking, and visual servoing to improve robot accuracy and reliability.
  • Extend our autonomy stack to support mobile robotic platforms through localization, mapping, navigation, and integrated manipulation.
  • Build the Path Forward
  • Our AI-driven systems enable robots to adapt, learn, and perform in the real world closing the skilled labor gap and transforming industries.
  • We go beyond traditional methods, combining perception, reasoning, and control to deliver field-ready AI that is risk-aware, reliable, and continuously improving through real-world use.
  • You'll architect and build software spanning perception, planning, controls, and execution, mentor other engineers, and drive the adoption of scalable software practices that enable our robots to perform increasingly complex real-world tasks.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or a related technical field or equivalent industry experience.
  • Demonstrated experience architecting and delivering large-scale robotics software systems from concept through deployment.
  • Deep expertise in one or more of the following: motion planning, manipulation, controls, autonomy, SLAM, localization, perception, or robot simulation.
  • Strong understanding of real-time robotics, systems programming, multithreading, concurrency, and performance optimization.
  • Experience designing software that interfaces directly with robotic hardware and operates reliably in production environments.
  • Strong Linux development experience with Git, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and modern software engineering practices.
  • Excellent problem-solving and communication skills with the ability to translate complex technical concepts into scalable engineering solutions

Nice to have

  • 8+ years developing robotics software with deep expertise in modern C++, with Python proficiency strongly preferred.

Benefits

  • Lead development of hardware abstraction layers and real-time communication with robot controllers, sensors, scanners, and vision systems.
  • Evaluate and integrate modern AI techniques, including reinforcement learning, learned planners, foundation models, and simulation to complement classical robotics approaches.
  • Partner closely with Machine Learning, Perception, Hardware, and Systems Engineering teams to define long-term technical strategy and deliver production-ready robotic capabilities
