Robotics Systems Engineer

What to Expect

In building robots for the home, we are tackling a true grand challenge in robotics: dexterous and safe mobile manipulation in unstructured environments. To make this possible, we are building across the entire robotics stack. We’re training state-of-the-art AI models that leverage our large-scale, high-quality, real-world data collection system.

At the same time, we’re building a new kind of consumer hardware product, which will be deployed into homes and delivering real value for real customers. As an early member of a small, cross-functional team, you’ll play a key role in pushing both our technology and product forward: advancing the frontier of embodied AI, and soon giving countless hours back to our customers so they can spend more time on the things they value most.

As a Robotics System Integration Engineer, you’ll play a central role in delivering reliable, safe, and capable home robots to consumers at scale. You’ll work closely with mechanical, electrical, and software engineers to diagnose and resolve issues with our existing robots. You’ll use these findings to refine our manufacturing and QA processes, and inform the system architecture and requirements for future design cycles. This role offers significant scope and ownership, and the chance to help shape cutting-edge technology into a cohesive, trustworthy product.

What You’ll Do

• Integrate and test robotic systems, including both actuation and perception hardware
• Triage and debug cross-disciplinary issues spanning mechanical, electrical, firmware, and software systems
• Bring up, test, and evaluate key components, such as sensors and actuators
• Maintain motor and sensor drivers, and related software tools, in Python / C++
• Develop clear processes for robot assembly, bringup, QA testing, and troubleshooting
• Help define component and subsystem performance requirements, and develop test plans to ensure reliable robot operation across a diverse range of tasks and environments
• Support design of robot HW and SW systems, collaborating across teams to optimize the architecture of next-gen robot products for safety, performance, reliability, cost, and manufacturability

What You’ll Bring

• 3+ years of experience working with complex robotic or electromechanical systems
• Proficiency in Python or C++
• Strong system-level understanding of robotics hardware, firmware, and software layers
• Deep familiarity with standard diagnostic tools (oscilloscope, multimeter, logic analyzers)
• Experience developing test plans and procedures for electromechanical systems

Nice to haves

• Deep experience in protocols including CAN, Ethernet, USB, MIPI, GMSL
• Experience with quasi-direct-drive actuators
• Experience calibrating computer vision systems
