Robotics Software Engineer (Generalist/Full-Stack)

Robotic Software Engineer – Humanoid Robotics

$180k–$200k + equity (flexible for exceptional candidates)

We are recruiting to build next-generation humanoid robotic systems that combine advanced AI with cutting-edge hardware. Our team moves fast, prototypes aggressively, and puts real robots into the world. We’re hiring a Robotic Software Engineer to shape our core software stack and accelerate the development of our embodied AI systems.

What You’ll Work On

  • Build and optimise robotics software in C++ and ROS2
  • Integrate perception, control, planning, and learning modules
  • Work hands-on with robots to bring up new hardware and run real-world experiments
  • Deploy reinforcement learning / imitation learning policies onto physical robots
  • Develop middleware, interfaces, and tooling that connect AI → hardware

This role directly supports both our AI and hardware teams and has significant ownership from day one.

Must-haves

  • Professional experience with ROS2
  • Hands-on robotics experience — ideally robot learning on physical hardware
  • Ability to work on real robots (debugging, integration, testing)
  • Generalist mindset and comfort in a fast-paced startup environment

Nice-to-haves

  • Manipulation or kinematics (humanoids, arms, quadrupeds)
  • Controls for mobile robots or drones
  • Sensor/actuator integration, drivers, or middleware experience
  • VR prototyping (Meta Quest or similar)

Why Join Us

  • Build software that runs on real humanoid robots immediately
  • High ownership within a small, world-class engineering team
  • Competitive compensation + meaningful equity
  • Opportunity to influence architecture, roadmap, and product direction
  • Work at the intersection of AI and robotics
