Join the team that's shaping the future of autonomous robotics and material handling. As an R&D Software Engineering Team Lead at Bastian Solutions, you'll develop the brains behind intelligent robotic systems, from low-level hardware control to high-level autonomy and perception. You'll work on real robots. You'll ship real code. You'll help launch entirely new automation products into warehouses and factories across the world. We don't just build software; we build the future of logistics. Bastian Solutions R&D is the New Product Development (NPD) division of Bastian Solutions, a Toyota Advanced Logistics company. Our mission is to develop original products that expand Bastian's automation capabilities - enabling our commissioning and systems teams to deliver integrated solutions that give our customers a competitive edge. Our ~70-person team is distributed between our Boise, Dallas, and Indianapolis offices, and includes experts in mechanical, electrical, software, and AI disciplines, all with a strong foundation in robotics technology. Beyond our Bastian offices, we collaborate heavily with our Toyota partners to innovate and share our technology globally. Software engineers on our team are true full-stack robotics developers, with opportunities to work across the entire software stack - from high-level autonomy, AI, and perception to low-level motor control, hardware interfaces, and everything in-between. We take products from concept to production-ready designs, and we execute our software on real robot hardware in live customer environments. Above all else, we know that our strength lies in our people. Through strong mentorship, thoughtful planning, and a supportive team culture, we create space for engineers to grow while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
