Andromeda Robotics is an ambitious social robotics company with offices in Melbourne and San Francisco, dedicated to creating robots that seamlessly and intelligently interact with the human world. Our first robot, Abi, is a testament to this vision—a custom-built platform designed from the ground up to be a helpful aid and intuitive partner in aged care homes. We are a passionate, collaborative team of engineers solving some of the most challenging problems in AI and robotics. To accelerate our development and ensure Abi's reliability, we are seeking a foundational member to build out our capabilities to train and test our robot in simulation. The Mission: Give Abi the Freedom to Move. We are looking for a first-principles Autonomy Engineer to solve one of the hardest challenges in robotics: enabling our robot, Abi, to navigate safely and gracefully alongside people. This role starts with simple A-to-B navigation but goes far beyond that. You will be responsible for developing the core decision-making and behavior logic that allows Abi to understand, predict, and react to the complexities of human-centric environments like aged care homes. This is a chance to build a production-grade autonomy stack from the ground up and ship a product that has a meaningful impact on people's lives. This role can be performed from either one of our two primary locations: South Melbourne, VIC, Australia or San Francisco, CA, USA.
