  • 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)
  • Experience across different robot embodiments
  • 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
