Senior Robotics Software Engineer

Ambi Robotics•Berkeley, CA

2d•Hybrid

About The Position

We are a well-funded startup on a mission to build the nervous system for AI-powered robots in industrial applications. Founded by leading robotics researchers, we are growing our dynamic, world-class team to deploy robots at scale. Join us in helping people handle more throughout the supply chain! We are seeking a Senior Robotics Software Engineer to develop core robotics libraries and runtime application software for Ambi products. In this role, you will rapidly develop, test, and deploy software across the robotics software engineering stack for core product functionality to improve warehouse operations. You will work closely with the Software team and the CTO. You are a good fit if you have: Excitement about making a real-world impact for people in the warehouse, putting product function first Eagerness to act as a generalist and solve a diverse set of challenging problems that amplify human potential with state-of-the-art robotics A bias toward action: you prioritize fast development and testing on hardware versus incubating an idea until it is “ready” Enthusiasm for owning all phases of the development process from design to implementation to testing to improvements A desire for career growth and ownership of your work
