Senior Software & Hardware Engineers

Samson Rose has been exclusively engaged by a Robotics & AI company to help them find Software and Hardware Engineers to join their team. They're transforming how robots interact with the real world. They are building risk-aware, reliable, and field-ready AI systems that address the most complex challenges in robotics, unlocking the full potential of embodied intelligence. They go beyond typical data-driven approaches or pure transformer-based architectures, and are charting a new course, with globally-deployed solutions that are already delivering real-world results, and rapidly improving models embedded in those applications

To tackle such ambitious challenges, we need a team as unique as their vision — innovators who go beyond conventional methods and are eager to tackle tough, uncharted questions. What makes a model’s decision reliable? How does it account for risk? Can it dynamically adapt to uncertainty and deliver safety-critical results in the field? If these questions excite you, you’ll thrive for sure. We’re seeking individuals who challenge the status quo, dive into uncharted territory, and bring interdisciplinary expertise.

If you’re driven to create, innovate, and lead in a dynamic, high-impact environment, join us on this exciting journey!

A bit about the company:

• They are at the forefront of developing a groundbreaking, field-proven, hardware-agnostic brain technology that empowers a wide range of robots to operate autonomously in the most challenging environments—hazardous, off-road, and industrial settings—all without relying on GPS, maps, or pre-programmed routes.
• With over $100 million in funding from visionary leaders and institutions, they have the resources to rapidly turn their bold vision into reality and are making significant strides toward their ambitious goals.
• Their mission is to tackle one of the world’s most complex challenges: deploying robots in unstructured, previously unknown environments.
• By joining their team, you’ll have the chance to collaborate with some of the brightest minds in the industry. This world-class team thrives on creativity, resilience, and bold thinking. With a decade of success in the field, they've won DARPA challenge segments and brought together expertise from top-tier organizations like DeepMind, NASA JPL, Boston Dynamics, NVIDIA, Amazon, Tesla Autopilot, Cruise Self-Driving, Zoox, Toyota Research Institute, and SpaceX.

The roles we are looking to fill:

• 3D Visualization Engineer to implement creative solutions for visualizing complex robotic systems, sensor data, and machine learning outputs. This role involves designing and developing intuitive UIs (3D 2D) for telepresence that allow end users to control, monitor, manage and analyze individual robots and robot fleets (Remote)
• Design Technologist (Human-Robot Interaction) who's working halfway in the UX team and Engineering team. You'll work closely with robotics engineers across various domains to own and create full end-to-end experiences and products for their users. (Remote)
• Mechatronics & Embedded Systems Engineer to design and build robotic systems that integrate seamlessly with the autonomy platform. This role involves developing and testing mechanical, electrical, and software components for robotics systems
• Data Pipeline Engineer to develop and own the data ingestion pipeline. From ingestion, assembly, storage, querying, and delivery to internal and external customers. This person will work closely with robotics engineers and product developers across various domains to own and support the creation of end-to-end experiences and products for our users
• Sensor Integration Engineer to develop, maintain, and optimize backend services for robotics systems, focusing on high-performance and real-time requirements. This role involves Integrating data from sensors such as LiDAR, cameras, IMUs, GPS, and other IoT devices into cohesive backend architectures.
• Telepresence & Networking Engineer to develop and maintain a reliable telemonitoring and teleoperation system using different communication and compression techniques. This person will collaborate with robotics teams to integrate real-time control and feedback loops into existing platforms
• Spatial AI Engineer Applied Scientist to research and develop state-of-the-art algorithms for 3D vision tasks, including but not limited to point cloud registration, 3D reconstruction, object detection, and semantic segmentation. This person will collaborate with engineering teams to translate research insights into scalable, production-ready solutions deployed in the field and with other research team members to publish and present findings at top-tier conferences and journals, contributing to the broader robotics and 3D vision research community
• Spatial AI Data Engineer: Pointclouds & LiDAR to implement and optimize algorithms in C and Python, maintaining a clean and organized code base. This person will collaborate with cross-functional teams to meet project-specific documentation requirements and deliverables.
• Robotics Systems Engineer to develop, implement, and maintain state-of-the-art autonomy software stacks, ensuring our robots navigate and perform tasks seamlessly in challenging environments. This person will evaluate and design trade-offs between compute, latency, power, and other key performance metrics for robotic systems.
• Robotics AI Engineer to design and implement next-generation AI-powered Field Foundation Models (FFMs) and Dynamics Foundation Models (DFMs). Pioneer risk-aware, uncertainty-driven decision-making architectures that enable autonomous robots to navigate unstructured, high-stakes environments. This person will work closely with other engineering teams to align development efforts and achieve cohesive system performance
