Robotics Software Engineer

Robotics Software Engineer Location: San Francisco, CA (full time, in-person) Company Overview Our mission is to accelerate the construction of critical infrastructure on Earth while pioneering technologies to enable humanity to build beyond Earth. Starting with Cosmic-1 – a system that installs solar panels 10x faster than today’s methods, helping us transition to a clean energy future and laying the groundwork for the future of autonomous construction. The Role As a Robotics Software Engineer, you will write, test, and ship code to robots working on live projects in the field. As a core member of the team, you will help define the era of autonomous construction. This is a rare opportunity to: Work on hard, meaningful problems that impact the future of infrastructure and energy. Collaborate with a world-class team from NASA, SpaceX, Google, Built Robotics, and others. Rapidly grow, learn, and lead within a quickly scaling company. Responsibilities Design, develop, and implement software for robotic manipulation, navigation, and path planning systems Contribute to the full software stack, from low-level motor control and sensor integration up to high-level application logic Ensure the safety and reliability of mission-critical systems through rigorous testing and adherence to engineering best practices Collaborate with the hardware team to bring up new systems and troubleshoot issues Travel to customer projects for on-site testing and deployment of robotic equipment in the field Maintain code quality through code reviews, automated testing, and documentation Requirements 2+ years of professional engineering experience Excellent C++, Python, and Linux development skills Strong fundamentals in algorithms, software architecture, planning, and execution Excellent communication and project management skills Thrive in fast-paced environments and push boundaries to meet deadlines Bonus 5+ years of professional software engineering experience Advanced degree in robotics or a related field Experience developing with ROS 2 and associated packages (Nav2, MoveIt) Experience in robotics simulation packages (e.g., Gazebo, Isaac Sim) #J-18808-Ljbffr
