Robotics Software Engineer (Generalist / Full-Stack)
Robotic Software Engineer Humanoid Robotics
Palo Alto, SF Bay Area (Full-time | Onsite)
$180k$200k + equity (flexible for exceptional candidates)
We are recruiting building next-generation humanoid robotic systems that combine advanced AI with cutting-edge hardware. Our team moves fast, prototypes aggressively, and puts real robots into the world. Were now hiring a Robotic Software Engineer to help shape our core software stack and accelerate the development of our embodied AI systems.
What Youll Work On
As part of a small, high-impact engineering team, you will :
- Build and optimise robotics software in C++ and ROS2
- Integrate perception, control, planning, and learning modules
- Work hands-on with robots to bring up new hardware and run real-world experiments
- Deploy reinforcement learning / imitation learning policies onto physical robots
- Develop middleware, interfaces, and tooling that connect AI hardware
- Prototype behaviours across diverse robot types (arms, humanoids, mobile platforms, drones)
This role directly supports both our AI and hardware teams and has significant ownership from day one.
Must-haves :
Strong C++ development skills (multi-threading, performance, systems-level)Professional experience with ROS2Hands-on robotics experience ideally robot learning on physical hardwareAbility to work on real robots (debugging, integration, testing)Generalist mindset and comfort in a fast-paced startup environmentNice-to-haves :
Manipulation or kinematics (humanoids, arms, quadrupeds)Controls for mobile robots or dronesSensor / actuator integration, drivers, or middleware experienceVR prototyping (Meta Quest or similar)Experience across different robot embodimentsWhy Join Us
