Software Engineer - Robotics

Job Description

We are hiring a highly motivated engineer to join our client's team as a Robotics Software Engineer. This role will help develop the core robot software code that enables robust, safe, reliable, and intelligent behavior in our robotic platforms. You will implement the core infrastructure of our robot software platform, enabling advanced capabilities in kinematics, vision, sensor fusion, and controls. Your solutions will be essential to delivering responsive, capable, and reliable systems that operate around patients and

become an extension of clinicians in a real world medical application. This is truly an exciting role!

What You’ll Do

Write Code! Test Code. Debug Code. Repeat. You will be asked to solve hard questions and find better coding methods that lead to a low latency high performing platform.

Your tasks will be contributing to the full robotics software stack—including path planning, state estimation, vision, sensor fusion, whole-body control, manipulation, and safety.

Write clear, well-documented code that is easily understood and maintained by other team members.

Ensure seamless integration of perception, planning, and control components to enable robust robot operation in complex, semi-structured environments.

Collaborate cross-functionally with hardware, applications, product, and systems teams to deliver key robot capabilities, performance benchmarks, and feature milestones.

Champion quality, reliability, and real-time performance throughout the robotics stack.

Enable engineering standards, and development processes that enable rapid iteration while ensuring long-term maintainability.

Foster a high-performance, collaborative culture.

Stay ahead of emerging trends in robotics autonomy, controls, and AI, and identify strategic opportunities to adopt and integrate new technologies.
