Senior Robotics Software Engineer
Senior robotics software engineer building perception, motion planning, and controls software for autonomous solar farm construction robots. Requires Python, C++, real-time/embedded experience, and onsite work in San Leandro, CA.
What you'll be working on
- Architecting, building, documenting, testing, and iterating on software for our robotic factory installation system
- Developing perception, motion planning, and controls software that lets our robots operate reliably in unstructured field conditions
- Contributing to low-level software powering robotic systems in our factories and delivery vehicles, with emphasis on correctness and safety
- Controlling industrial automation hardware including linear actuators, motors, and hydraulic systems
You
- Are an experienced Python developer and comfortable with at least one lower-level language like C++, with experience writing real-time, embedded, or robotics software
- Know how to instrument and develop highly performant software as a member of a team, including writing clean code, documenting it, testing it, and using version control and CI
- Have worked in a fast-paced startup environment before, and loved it
- Are excited to work with (and occasionally safely climb into) giant robots
- Have excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Are based in or can relocate to the SF Bay Area, and able to work 4-5 days/week from our San Leandro HQ
- Are open to ~10% travel to field (solar construction sites) to work directly with our product in its deployment environment
- Are excited to see your work deployed onto actual solar farms!
Nice to have
- Have experience working with industrial robot arms, motion planning, or automation systems
- Have a 4-year degree in computer science, robotics, or a related field
- Gain satisfaction from personally playing a part in mitigating climate change
Senior Software Engineer, Sensor Platform
Design and develop sensor and compute systems for autonomous vehicles. Requires strong C++ skills, Linux kernel experience, and 6+ years building real-time systems from drivers to applications.
Autonomy Software Engineer – Path Planning
Develop and integrate core path planning algorithms for autonomous aerial systems (UAVs, fighter aircraft) supporting military missions. Requires 3-5 years experience with sampling/grid-based planning methods, C++ or Python, and outer-loop control systems.
Staff Embedded Software Engineer
Technical leadership role driving design, development, and validation of firmware for autonomous industrial vehicle controllers. Requires 8+ years embedded experience, safety-critical standards expertise, and cross-functional hardware/software collaboration.
Staff Spacecraft Systems Engineer
Lead spacecraft architecture and technical baseline as Chief Program Engineer for GEO Space Domain Awareness missions. Own system-level budgets, requirements traceability, and verification across full lifecycle while mentoring teams and interfacing with customers.
