    • Design and integrate mechatronic systems, mechanisms, and test fixtures; develop, troubleshoot, and improve electrical subsystems and interfaces.
    • Integrate and debug complex robotic systems spanning software, embedded, networking, electrical, and mechanical domains.
    • Diagnose performance, reliability, timing, and hardware-interface issues across the robot stack.
    • Drive system reliability and scalability through rigorous testing and root-cause analysis.
    • Requires 5 days/week in-office collaboration with the team.

    Requirements

    • BS/MS in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience.
    • 4+ years of hands-on robotics experience in industry, academia, or research labs, with a track record of building, integrating, and deploying real robotic systems.
    • Experience developing drivers, hardware abstraction layers, or software interfaces for sensors, actuators, or embedded devices.
    • Hands-on experience with several of the following: ROS/ROS2, real-time or embedded Linux, fieldbus or device communications, distributed middleware, sensor/actuator integration, and performance optimization.
    • Ability to design and troubleshoot basic electrical circuits and mechanical components for robotic systems.
    • Strong debugging, system integration, and root-cause analysis skills.

    Bonus Qualifications

    • Experience with humanoids, mobile manipulators, or similar platforms.
    • Experience with Linux kernel development, kernel modules, device drivers, or low-level systems software.
    • Experience optimizing communication, latency, reliability, or observability in distributed robotic systems.
    • Experience with AI-enabled robotic systems, teleoperation/data-collection devices (e.g., Gello- or UMI-style systems), and real-world robot data pipelines.

    Benefits

    • Competitive stock options/equity programs.
    • Health, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) plan.
    • Visa sponsorship and green card support for qualified candidates.
    • Lunches and dinners, a fully stocked kitchen, and regular team-building events.
