About the role

  • This is a highly hands-on, multidisciplinary role spanning the full autonomy stack-from raw sensor data through perception, localization, planning, and control.
  • As an early hire, you'll shape our engineering culture and leave a lasting mark on how our robots think, see, and move.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain our ROS-based control systems for real-time robotic motion and coordination for our rebar-tying robot
  • Interface with cameras, lidar, IMUs, and encoders to build robust perception and feedback loops
  • Implement kinematics, trajectory planning, and control algorithms for smooth, natural movement
  • Build the monitoring, diagnostics, and update infrastructure needed for manufacturing a high-volume product that is aimed at navigating the construction environment & outdoors temperatures and weather conditions.
  • About the Company Spacer Robotics is building autonomous, non-humanoid robotic systems to construct infrastructure in extreme environments-from lunar bases to next-gen terrestrial job sites.
  • About the Role We're seeking a Senior Robotics Software Engineer to join the core team building Spacer's production-level robot.

Skills

  • Strong skills in C++ for embedded platforms, optimizing for reliability and low-latency

Benefits

  • Our vision is to disrupt the $16 trillion global construction industry by pioneering a new Deep Tech philosophy that blends robotics, AI, and systems engineering at the frontier.
