Robotics Software Engineer – Application Layer / High-Level
$140,000 – $200,000 + Equity + Benefits
U.S. Persons Only
Are you passionate about cutting-edge robotics and real-time systems? Our client - an innovative, venture-backed robotics company - is developing next-generation autonomous platforms that push the limits of perception, control, and intelligent decision‑making.
They are looking for a Robotics Software Engineer to take ownership of the application layer that brings their robots to life. This is a unique opportunity to help shape real‑world, mission‑critical robotics technology alongside a small team of exceptional engineers.
What You’ll Do
- Architect, develop, and optimize the high-level application layer software for autonomous systems.
- Build and maintain real‑time data pipelines connecting perception, planning, and control systems.
- Drive Sim2Real workflows - taking simulation code to live hardware environments.
- Collaborate closely with perception, controls, and hardware teams to integrate and test software across multiple robotic platforms.
- Profile and optimize performance for low‑latency and resource‑constrained environments.
- Contribute to world‑class system architecture, clean codebases, and robust documentation.
- Occasionally assist with real‑world field testing and system validation (some travel involved).
What We’re Looking For
- Strong proficiency in C++ and Python .
- Experience architecting and refactoring real‑time systems under performance constraints.
- Deep familiarity with ROS2 (or equivalent robotics middleware).
- Proven ability to debug and optimize complex interactions between hardware, middleware, and application logic.
- Excellent communication and documentation habits.
- Self‑starter who thrives in a fast‑paced, problem‑solving environment.
Bonus Points
- Personal or open‑source robotics projects (e.g., UAVs, autonomous systems).
- Experience with RTOS or safety‑critical software.
- Understanding of control theory or computer vision principles.
- Awareness of cybersecurity concepts relevant to autonomous systems.
Why Apply?
You’ll be joining a team of highly driven engineers tackling real‑world robotics challenges with immediate impact. If you’re excited by the idea of architecting the brains behind autonomous machines - and you thrive in hands‑on, high‑performance environments - this is your chance to make a difference.
