(Senior) Robotics Software / Forward Deployed Engineer (US)

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Build custom robotic software solutions for deployments: custom motion generators, application-specific kinematic logic, and tailored automation workflows on the RobCo stack.
• Integrate peripherals and computer vision systems, including our in-house RobVision platform as well as third-party vision and sensor systems.
• Deploy, commission, and debug solutions on real robots at customer sites alongside the Solution Engineering team.
• Translate field requirements into product decisions and bring product knowledge back to the field. Turn recurring custom work into product features, and contribute to core robotics software at product-grade quality.
• Serve as an escalation point for complex software and robotics issues in US-based deployments.

Job requirements
