Software Applications Engineer, Robotic Systems
Develops distributed software systems controlling robotic manufacturing hardware, interfacing with sensors, actuators, and processes under real-time constraints. Requires 2+ years experience, Python proficiency, systems languages like C++/Go, and hardware interaction skills.
What You’ll Do
- Write, test, and debug software that directly interfaces with robotics and manufacturing systems
- Build and operate distributed systems that coordinate state, timing, and behavior across multiple devices
- Investigate and resolve issues spanning software, firmware, and physical systems
- Contribute to system reliability through logging, observability, and fault handling
- Work across the stack—from device-level interaction to networked APIs
- Collaborate closely with mechanical, electrical, and process engineers to define system behavior
What You’ll Need
- 2+ years of experience (including internships, research, robotics projects, or relevant industry work)
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field
- Strong proficiency in Python for building and debugging production systems (our stack primarily includes Python, C++, and Go)
- Experience with at least one systems or strongly typed language such as C++, Rust, or Go
- Solid understanding of core computer science fundamentals (data structures, concurrency, systems basics)
- Experience building or debugging systems that interact with hardware or other external systems
What Makes You Stand Out
- Experience working with robotics, embedded systems, or hardware-adjacent software
- Familiarity with real-time systems or resource-constrained environments
- Experience debugging complex issues across multiple layers (software, firmware, hardware)
- Exposure to distributed systems or networked device coordination
- Interest in how physical systems behave under real-world constraints (latency, noise, failure, safety)
- Experience with observability, testing, or infrastructure tools
