Software Engineer, Robot Integration and Test

Job description

We are seeking a Software Engineer to own the software that provisions, calibrates, and tests our robots, from the manufacturing line through service and repair. Your goal: every robot that leaves the line or comes back from repair works as a complete system, and technicians can verify it without engineering help. You will own escalations from manufacturing and service: you triage, dig in, fix what's yours, and drive cross-team resolution when it's not. Your work means engineers and researchers can trust the robots they use, so model evaluations reflect the model, not a faulty robot.

This is a hands-on role at the point where hardware, firmware, and software come together.

Job responsibilities

  • Build automated manufacturing tests that verify each robot is fully functional before it leaves the line, with results tracked for each robot.
  • Turn engineering scripts for provisioning, flashing, and calibration, such as camera calibration, into guided workflows technicians can run.
  • Build one-click service tests that let technicians verify a robot is fully repaired before handing it back.
  • Build startup self-checks that verify each robot's hardware, software versions, and configuration every time it boots.
  • Define pass/fail criteria with the hardware, perception, and controls teams that own each subsystem.
  • Root-cause test failures across hardware, firmware, and software, and drive fixes with the owning teams.
  • Track failure modes and repeat issues, and feed learnings back into design, assembly, and test processes.

Job requirements

  • BS, MS or higher degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Minimum of 3 years of industry experience.
  • Proficiency in Python and C++.
  • Experience writing software that interfaces with real hardware, such as motors, sensors, and embedded devices.
  • Experience building automated tests, manufacturing test stations, or technician-facing test tools.
  • Comfort debugging across hardware and software, including reading schematics and working with communication buses like CAN or EtherCAT.
  • Experience with Linux and ROS/ROS2 or similar robotics middleware.
  • Familiarity with camera calibration or sensor bring-up is a plus.
