## About the role

You are a hands-on robotics engineer who thrives at the intersection of theory and system-building, equally comfortable developing low-level controllers as you are deploying learned policies on real hardware. You have experience working across the full robotics stack, from reasoning and perception to control and physical execution, and you take a systems-oriented view of complex robotic platforms.

## What they're looking for

- Masters + 3 years experience or PhD in robotics or relevant field. Exceptional candidates with a bachelor’s degree and 3+ years of industry experience are also welcome to apply
- Proficiency in Python and modern robotics / simulation ecosystems
- Strong depth of experience working with either physical robots or robotic simulation
- Strong development and debugging skills across the full robotics stack (perception → planning or inference → control → hardware)
- Clear communication and ability to collaborate effectively with research teams
- A structured, systems-oriented approach to building and improving complex robotic infrastructure
