Senior Robotics Engineer (Full-Time)
About the role
Aseon Labs is building robotic pitstops for self-driving cars to enable charging, cleaning, and inspection directly in operating zones. This role is a founding-level engineering position focused on deploying real-world robotic systems outdoors and in production.
Responsibilities
- Own robotic manipulation, controls and motion planning across the system
- Develop robotic workflows for physically interacting with AVs, including opening doors/panels, charging, vacuuming, surface wipe, item repositioning and more
- Architect perception systems used for robot positioning, vehicle localization and task execution
- Build reliable robotic behaviors around vehicles operating in dynamic real-world environments
- Develop the control layer for robotic arms, tooling systems and autonomous task sequencing
- Work across robotics software, hardware integration and system architecture
- Evaluate and help define robotics hardware choices including robotic arms, sensors, controllers and perception systems
- Work directly with founders to shape the technical direction and architecture of the company
Qualifications
- Exceptional engineer with deep curiosity for robotics and physical-world systems
- Strong fundamentals in robotics, controls, perception, motion planning or adjacent disciplines
- Hands-on builder who enjoys moving quickly from concept to working system
- Comfortable operating across software, hardware and system-level engineering boundaries
- Motivated by difficult real-world problems rather than controlled demonstrations or research prototypes
- High ownership, highly execution-oriented and comfortable with ambiguity
- Able to reason from first principles and make sound engineering tradeoffs under constraints
- Low ego, highly collaborative and driven by building great products with a small team

About Aseon Labs
Robotic pitstops for self-driving cars
Aseon Labs builds robotic pitstops for self-driving cars. Autonomous vehicles can drive themselves, but they still rely on humans and centralized depots for charging, cleaning and servicing multiple times per day. As fleets scale, the operational layer makes up 70% of the cost of the service and is of the largest barrier to uptime, profitability and market expansion. Aseon Pods are robotic micro-depots that can be deployed directly within operating zones, bringing fleet servicing to where demand exists. By eliminating unnecessary depot trips and automating routine operations, Aseon helps autonomous fleet operators increase uptime, reduce reset cost by 50% and unlock scale. Founded by the team behind Pushme, which deployed 5,000 mobility infrastructure locations across 40 cities before its acquisition by TIER-Dott, Aseon is funded and building product in Redwood City for pilot deployment with major autonomous vehicle operators.
