About the role

Senior forward deployed robotics software engineer based in Austin, US. Builds custom robotic software solutions, integrates peripherals and vision, deploys and commissions on customer sites, and contributes to core platform while shaping US forward-deployed engineering.

Responsibilities

  • Build custom robotic software solutions for deployments: custom motion generators, application-specific kinematic logic, and tailored automation workflows on the RobCo stack.
  • Integrate peripherals and computer vision systems, including our in-house RobVision platform as well as third-party vision and sensor systems.
  • Deploy, commission, and debug solutions on real robots at customer sites alongside the Solution Engineering team.
  • Translate field requirements into product decisions and bring product knowledge back to the field. Turn recurring custom work into product features, and contribute to core robotics software at product-grade quality.
  • Serve as an escalation point for complex software and robotics issues in US-based deployments.

Qualifications

  • Aprox 3 to 5+ years of robotics software engineering: working across the entire stack, from robotics control, backend service to frontend.
  • Strong software engineering skills in Python, C++ and ROS/ROS2, building production-level software.
  • Hands-on experience developing software for and working with physical robots, ideally industrial robotic arms or manipulators.
  • A solid understanding of kinematics, motion generation, motion planning, and robot control, with the ability to apply these concepts in real robotic applications.
  • Experience working with APIs and integrating software components within larger systems.
  • A strong ownership mentality, a resourceful and pragmatic working style, and the ability to take a problem and drive it to a working solution without step-by-step direction.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across teams and time zones.
  • Willingness to travel up to 30% within the US.
