About the team:
The Software Engineering Team builds and operates the systems that power Formic's Robotics-as-a-Service platform. Engineering focuses on ensuring deployed systems are observable, resilient, and remotely diagnosable at scale. The team builds production-grade edge and cloud systems that support reliable data collection, remote troubleshooting, live video streaming, and continuous system improvement. This work directly impacts fleet uptime, service efficiency, and customer outcomes by ensuring Formic's monitoring and control infrastructure remains scalable, reliable, and continuously evolving.
About this role:
As a Software Engineer on the Robotics Platform team, you will design, build, and improve the software that powers monitoring, diagnostics, and operational tooling across Formic's deployed robotic fleet. Formic is rethinking how robotic systems are built, monitored, and maintained. We are looking for engineers who challenge traditional approaches to industrial automation and apply modern software, AI, and robotics techniques to build systems that are more intelligent, reliable, and easier to operate.
You will work across edge and cloud environments to develop tools that improve visibility, diagnostics, and operational performance across our deployed robotic fleet. In this role you will:
Design and develop modern, intuitive graphical interfaces for robotics system monitoring and control Build and maintain full stack tools using web technologies that run on edge devices and integrate with cloud services Develop and maintain software that runs on edge computing devices deployed alongside industrial robotic systems Collaborate closely with the robotics engineering team to integrate front end tools with core robotics software Integrate robotics interfaces with backend systems and platform infrastructure Troubleshoot and diagnose issues on deployed robotic systems in production environments Write unit and integration tests to ensure reliability and maintainability Participate in sprint planning, standups, and other Agile development practices
What makes you a great fit:
To be considered for this role, you should have:
Based in or willing to relocate to the greater Chicago area and able to work in a hybrid environment (3+ days per week) from Formic's Woodridge, IL office.
