About the role

Mind Robotics is hiring a Robotics Software Engineer to build runtime systems, middleware, and developer infrastructure for generalized physical AI in real-world industrial robotics platforms.

Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and maintain runtime systems that enable reliable, low-latency operation of robotic platforms.
  • Ensure robustness of robotics systems across real-world deployment scenarios.
  • Implement and optimize robotics middleware for inter-process communication, data serialization, and message passing.
  • Integrate with frameworks like DDS, Zenoh, or build custom solutions as needed.
  • Build systems for task scheduling, resource management, and lifecycle management of robotic applications.
  • Enable scalable and modular execution of complex robotic behaviors.
  • Ensure that robotics systems meet strict latency and reliability requirements.
  • Optimize for resource-constrained and embedded environments.
  • Develop tools to monitor system health, debug failures, and analyze performance.
  • Design and maintain deployment workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and containerization (e.g., Docker).
  • Build abstractions, APIs, and tools that enable application engineers to develop robotic behaviors efficiently.
  • Contribute to operator-facing tools (e.g., UI for monitoring, control, and data annotation workflows).
  • Focus on developer experience and system ergonomics, ensuring that the platform scales across robots, tasks, and environments.

Qualifications

  • Strong experience building robotics software systems and middleware.
  • Experience designing and building runtime systems, execution frameworks, or middleware layers.
  • Strong understanding of distributed systems and communication patterns in robotics.
  • Experience working with real-time constraints and performance-critical systems.
  • Strong proficiency in Python programming.
  • Familiarity with robotics middleware frameworks (e.g., DDS, Zenoh, ROS2).
  • Experience with containerization, CI/CD, and codebase management at scale.
  • Ability to design clean abstractions and APIs for internal users.
  • Experience building tools or interfaces for operators or engineers.
