Senior / Staff Robotics Software Engineer

About the Role A senior member of our Robotics Software Engineering Team, you will be a key technical leader responsible for the intelligent software that powers our automated manufacturing systems. Working at the intersection of robotics and biopharma, you'll collaborate with a world‑class team to solve complex challenges. This role is for a passionate, hands‑on engineer dedicated to building robust systems that have a direct impact on patient lives. Responsibilities Designing and implementing production‑ready software for our robotic platforms, spanning from low‑level hardware communication to high‑level robotic logic and system behaviors. Implementing and optimizing sophisticated algorithms for trajectory planning, robotic interaction, motion control, and integrating data from various sensors. Building and maintaining high‑fidelity simulations for validation and contributing to automated test suites (CI/CD) to ensure software robustness. Working closely with mechanical and system software teams to integrate and troubleshoot complex, system‑level robotics challenges. Mentoring other engineers and championing software best practices to elevate the entire team. Qualifications Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering, or a related discipline. 5+ years of professional experience developing software for robotic or complex electromechanical systems. Expertise in Python and a strong command of software engineering fundamentals (e.g., version control with Git, automated testing, CI/CD). Deep understanding of robotics principles, including kinematics, dynamics, motion planning, and control theory. Experience leading cross‑functional projects and a demonstrated ability to deliver on technical roadmaps. Excellent communication, collaboration, and problem‑solving skills, with comfort in a fast‑paced startup environment. Hands‑on experience with robotics simulation environments (e.g., Isaac Sim, Gazebo, PyBullet). Familiarity with machine learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow) and their application to robotics (e.g., computer vision, imitation learning). Experience working in a regulated industry (e.g., GxP, ISO standards). Benefits Competitive Compensation: Salary range of $160,000 – $250,000 a year plus meaningful early‑stage equity. Premium Health: Premium Medical, Dental, and Vision plans with subsidies for child dependents. 401(k) with 4% company match to help you plan for the long term. Pre‑tax commuter benefits for eligible transit and parking. Paid Parental Leave and robust support for new families. Flexible PTO and 12 paid holidays. No set hours; schedule aligned with manager and team. Office perks: Vibrant SF office culture featuring catered team lunches, stocked kitchen, frequent team events. H‑1B and Green Card sponsorship available for exceptional talent. Referral bonuses. Commitment to Diversity We actively seek candidates with diverse perspectives and lived experiences.
