Robotics Software Engineer
About The Position
Join the R&D team at a robotics startup building software for AI-driven robots operating in real-world production environments. You will work across the robotics stack, shipping systems that improve how robots perform in production. The role involves coordinating real-time robot software, motion-planning optimization, and machine-learning pipelines across multiple platforms. You will build and maintain data-labeling frontends, perception systems, and compilers for robot intelligence; work across firmware, robotics software, and cloud infrastructure to solve high-priority technical challenges; collaborate with teammates to design and ship integrated robotics systems; and deploy software in customer facilities to evaluate its impact on robot performance. The position is on-site in Watertown, Massachusetts, United States. Base salary is $130,000 to $180,000 USD annually. Visa sponsorship is available.
