Senior Robotics Systems Engineer
About The Position
Join a small, high-impact systems team scaling autonomous haulage deployments internationally. This role shapes how autonomy runs on real vehicles in mission-critical mining environments. The engineer will integrate and validate autonomy capabilities on autonomous haul trucks, lead new truck platform bring-ups across multiple OEM brands, and establish production-readiness practices for an expanding international fleet. The position is full-time and on-site five days a week in San Francisco, with travel of up to 15% to customer mine sites. Relocation is fine. The company builds modular, OEM-agnostic autonomous technology for heavy industry; its autonomous haulage system is live in production with more than 100 trucks operating across mining and quarry sites worldwide.
Requirements
- Five to eight years of experience in robotics or autonomous vehicle systems engineering.
- Hands-on experience with autonomy deployment and systems integration on real vehicles.
- Strong Python and C++ skills.
- Linux-based robotics experience.
- Experience bringing new vehicle or robot platforms from prototype to production.
- A BS in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- Willingness to travel up to 15% to customer mine sites.
- Motivation for physical AI and field deployment, with comfort in ambiguity.
Nice To Haves
- Experience with perception interfaces and camera pipelines.
- Experience with sensor fusion, calibration workflows, or CAN interfaces.
- A Master's or PhD in robotics or a related field.
Responsibilities
- Integrate and validate autonomy capabilities on real autonomous haul trucks, taking features from prototype to reliable production performance.
