Senior Manager, Robotic Systems Software Engineering
Leads architecture and development of system-level software for robotic manufacturing nodes, orchestrating motion, vision, sensing, and IO subsystems for stable production. Requires 10+ years in automation/robotics, 5+ years managing teams, and expertise in deterministic orchestration and hardware-integrated systems.
What You’ll Do
- Lead the design and implementation of the robotic systems software stack, including deterministic workflow engines and sequencing logic across motion, vision, sensing, and IO subsystems.
- Lead node bring-up from hardware integration through production stabilization, ensuring safe, recoverable, and repeatable behavior.
- Drive and uphold engineering standards for fault detection, classification, automated recovery, and safe-state transitions.
- Implement robust telemetry, structured logging, and time-synchronized diagnostics to enable rapid root-cause analysis.
- Remain hands-on in design and code reviews, and occasionally in implementation for critical systems.
- Partner cross-functionally with mechanical, electrical, robotics, manufacturing, and infrastructure teams to ensure tight system integration.
- Own delivery and technical direction for a set of production nodes or subsystems.
- Hire, develop, and lead a high-performing team with strong technical standards and accountability.
What You’ll Need
- 10+ years of experience building complex automation or robotic systems, including 5+ years leading engineering teams.
- Demonstrated expertise designing deterministic orchestration systems or explicit state machines in production environments.
- Strong understanding of concurrency, event ordering, idempotency, and failure recovery in hardware-integrated systems.
- Experience transitioning robotic or automation platforms from prototype to stable, production-grade operation.
- Experience building or leveraging observability systems for complex, hardware-integrated software.
- Working knowledge of real-time motion or embedded control systems and how to architect clean separation between real-time and non-real-time layers.
- Proven track record hiring, coaching, and scaling strong engineering teams.
- Strong systems-level reasoning across hardware and software domains.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or equivalent work experience.
Compensation: Salary Range $230,000—$300,000 USD. Also includes equity and benefits.
