About the role
Mind Robotics is building generalized physical AI for real-world industrial deployment. The System Integration Engineer will own bring-up and debug across the robot, coordinating across electrical, mechanical, firmware, controls, and software to ensure builds run reliably from prototype to field deployment.
Responsibilities
- Lead bring-up of new subsystems and full-robot builds and assist with validation, coordinating across electrical, mechanical, firmware, controls, and software teams
- Debug hardware-software interactions hands-on during design, launch, and field deployment — pulling and analyzing logs and adding debug instrumentation/tracing to firmware and software to isolate root cause
- Lead calibration and tuning efforts to hit subsystem and robot-level performance targets
- Prototype and characterize components and full systems; build early prototypes to de-risk new technologies before committing to production architecture
- Execute system-level test plans from bench testing through field deployment, and turn real-world failures into repeatable test cases
- Write scripts and tooling to improve bring-up, validation, and triage efficiency
- Instrument systems and analyze noisy hardware data; communicate findings clearly across mechanical, electrical, and software teams
- Surface nth-order impacts of electrical, software, or process changes before they become problems
- Feed interface and requirements feedback from the bench back to the Systems Engineering team, and provide integration data and open-issue status for readiness reviews
Qualifications
- Degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent experience
- 2+ years in systems integration, systems engineering, or a cross-disciplinary hardware role involving complex electromechanical or robotic products
- Strong hardware and software fundamentals — able to bridge electrical schematics, embedded communication protocols, and firmware architecture; comfortable with a scope and multimeter during bring-up
- Hands-on experience debugging complex subsystems involving networked microprocessors, embedded Linux, and software-controlled electromechanical devices — comfortable reading and modifying C/C++ firmware/software yourself to add debug logging, instrument code paths, and iterate on a fix, not just reading code to hand off to firmware engineers
- Able to write scripts or tooling to improve bring-up and validation efficiency
- Proficient in data analysis and visualization — able to extract signal from noisy hardware data
- You are comfortable with ambiguity, move fast, and have an "engineering curiosity" that drives you to understand how the entire system works, not just your part
