Senior Robotics Engineer

Up to $200K + Equity

Are you a hands-on Robotics Engineer passionate about building intelligent machines that operate in the real world?

We're working with an exciting early-stage robotics startup developing next-generation warehouse automation, combining advanced robotics and AI to tackle complex physical tasks.

Following a recent seed funding round, the company is scaling its technology and moving towards wider real-world deployment. This is an opportunity to join a small, highly technical team, work across the full robotics stack and play a key role in developing the next generation of autonomous robotic systems.

What you'll be doing

• Design, build and integrate robotic systems across hardware, controls and autonomy.
• Develop and optimise robot motion, manipulation and control capabilities.
• Integrate robotic arms, sensors and actuators into reliable platforms.
• Improve perception, localisation and autonomous operation.
• Prototype, test and troubleshoot robotic systems in simulation and real-world environments.
• Own robotics projects from initial development through to deployment.

What they're looking for

• 3+ years' experience in robotics engineering, autonomous systems or a related field.
• Strong understanding of robotics fundamentals, including kinematics, motion planning and control systems.
• Hands-on experience integrating robotic hardware, including manipulators, sensors and actuators.
• Familiarity with ROS/ROS2 and C++ or Python.
• Strong problem-solving skills across hardware, software and system integration.

Nice to have:

Experience with robotic manipulation, computer vision, SLAM, perception, trajectory optimisation, simulation tools or warehouse automation. Experience taking robotics systems from prototype to production is particularly valuable.

What's in it for you?

• Up to $200K base salary + equity, depending on experience.
• Join a recently funded robotics startup at a pivotal stage of growth.
• Work on advanced robotic systems combining AI, autonomy and physical manipulation.
• Get hands-on with real robotic hardware and solve challenging problems beyond simulation.
• Take ownership of core robotics development and help shape the technical direction of the business.
• Work alongside an experienced engineering team with the opportunity to make a tangible impact as the company scales.

Location:

South Bay Area, Los Angeles, CA - fully on-site, with hands-on testing and customer warehouse deployments.
