About the role
- Today, robotics is fragmented, slow, and closed: most builders are forced to reinvent the same stack again and again, and most ideas never make it past the prototype stage.
- We're seeking talented Robot Systems Engineers to join our team in Santa Clara, CA (on-site).
- You'll be the technical bridge between hardware, software, and AI-ensuring seamless integration and validation of our robotic platforms from early prototypes to production systems deployed in the real world.
Responsibilities
- 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
- 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
- Develop and execute comprehensive test plans to validate motion, sensing, control, and manipulation capabilities
- Own overall functional and performance readiness throughout the full product lifecycle
- Lead root cause analysis for complex issues spanning hardware, firmware, and software
- Triage and debug system interactions during design, launch, and deployment phases
Requirements
- 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
- Hands-on experience with communication protocols (CAN, EtherCAT, Ethernet, serial interfaces)
- Experience with hardware bring-up and validating electromechanical systems
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced startup environment where your work directly impacts our trajectory
Company info
