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
