Robotics Software Engineer

$150,000-200,000

Boston, MA

We’re working with a fast-growing Robotics start-up that has just closed a Series A funding round and is now expanding its world-class engineering team. Backed by top-tier investors, this company is building the next generation of autonomous mobile systems designed for unstructured environments - think cutting-edge robotics tackling real-world challenges where GPS and pre-mapped paths won’t cut it.

Why You Should Be Excited

✅ Join at the perfect time – early enough to make a real impact, but well-funded enough to build boldly.

✅ Tackle high-impact problems – work on real-time perception, motion planning, and multi-agent coordination in environments where traditional automation fails.

✅ Ship fast, iterate faster – deploy your code into live robotic systems in weeks, not years.

The Project You’ll Be Working On

The team is developing a vision-driven autonomous navigation stack that enables robots to operate in dynamic, unpredictable environments. Your mission? Design and optimize sensor fusion algorithms, improve SLAM techniques, and integrate state-of-the-art deep learning models to enhance perception and decision-making.

Roles & Responsibilities

• Develop & optimize core robotics software for perception, localization, motion planning, and control.
• Design and implement sensor fusion algorithms integrating LiDAR, cameras, IMU, and radar.
• Enhance real-time SLAM and navigation algorithms to enable autonomous operation in complex environments.
• Build robust simulation pipelines for testing and validating robotic behaviors.
• Work with a multidisciplinary team of roboticists, AI researchers, and hardware engineers.
• Deploy and test your code on real robotic platforms in real-world scenarios.

Key Skills & Experience

✅ 3 years' experience

✅ Strong programming skills in C & Python

✅ Experience with ROS2, Gazebo, and simulation tools

✅ Deep knowledge of motion planning, SLAM, and sensor fusion
