Robotics Engineer

OpenMind•San Francisco, CA

1d•Onsite

About The Position

OpenMind builds robots, including both hardware and software, that operate proficiently in the real world. The company is seeking Robotics Engineers to envision new robot capabilities in areas such as navigation, sensing, and autonomy; build working prototypes; and help bring them through to final manufactured and deployed robots. Engineers work alongside robot engineers and have access to rapid-prototyping hardware, parts, and sensors. The role involves collaborating with engineers, researchers, and designers to solve problems across software, autonomy, and hardware. The role calls for inventing and building robots, developing the software that controls or guides them, and learning across the full robotics stack. Engineers should be comfortable working hands-on to diagnose and repair hardware. The position is full-time and based on-site in San Francisco, with work at other sites for field testing. It offers ownership of real-world robotics projects and the opportunity to build and deploy Physical AI solutions on real robots across diverse applications.

Requirements

Experience designing, building, and testing a real-world rover, drone, or fixed-wing aircraft; candidates should be able to explain what they built, their design decisions, and test outcomes.
A GitHub repository containing software the candidate wrote to control, guide, or make a robot autonomous, with the ability to explain its architecture and implementation.
Willingness to learn and work across software, autonomy, and robotics hardware, including unfamiliar areas.
Hands-on ability to take things apart, diagnose problems, and fix them.

Responsibilities

Envision and develop new robot capabilities, including navigation, sensing, and autonomy.
Build working robot prototypes and help take them through manufacturing and deployment.
Write software to control, guide, or enable autonomy in robots.
Work across software, autonomy, and robotics hardware, including areas that may be new to the engineer.
Take apart, troubleshoot, and repair hardware.
Collaborate with engineers, researchers, and designers to solve robotics problems.
Take responsibility for and ownership of real-world robotics projects.
