Forward Deployed Robotics Engineer

Job description

Our robots climb boiler walls, storage tanks, and ship hulls to collect ultrasonic data that tells customers how much life their infrastructure has left. This role builds the software our operators use to run those robots and capture that data in the field.

You will work on the system operators actually touch on site: driving the robot, watching data come in live, and knowing whether the run is good before anyone leaves. It runs on hardware at the job site, often in difficult conditions, and it has to work the first time.

Right now the team is extending that software to support a new robot, an underwater system used for ship hull inspection.

Job responsibilities

  • Build software that works in the field. Networks drop, sensors disconnect, and there is no one to escalate to at 6am on a customer site. You will design for that.
  • Own the seams between systems. Our field software coordinates multiple services and talks to robots we build and robots we do not. Much of the work is making those boundaries reliable.
  • Take other people's work across the finish line. Prototypes, research deliverables, and partner code arrive in a state that is not shippable. Turning those into something operators depend on is a core part of this job.
  • Make data understandable. Operators need to see where the robot has been and what it found, in three dimensions, while the run is still happening.
  • Go to the field. You will see your software used, which is the fastest way to learn what is wrong with it.
