Job Description

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. We’re now hiring a Robotic Software Engineer to help shape our core software stack and accelerate the development of our embodied AI systems.

What You’ll 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 ROS2
  • Hands-on robotics experience — ideally robot learning on physical hardware
  • Ability to work on real robots (debugging, integration, testing)
  • Generalist mindset and comfort in a fast-paced startup environment

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
  • Opportunity to influence architecture, roadmap, and product direction
  • Work at one of the most exciting intersections in tech: AI × robotics
