Burros (www.burro.ai) are the category-defining autonomous mobile robot for outdoor automation alongside people in agricultural and industrial settings - think Disney's Wall-E/Star Wars R2D2, for work outdoors, in a version 1.0 format. Backed by Toyota Ventures.
About the role
We are looking for a Senior Robotics Platform Engineer to own the full lifecycle of how our robots are built, provisioned, tested, and updated in the field. This is not a cloud DevOps role; this is a systems infrastructure role rooted in scaling bare-metal Linux environments, and the operational complexity of deploying software to a fleet of autonomous machines in demanding conditions.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years of hands-on experience designing and operating infrastructure for hardware at scale: robotics, autonomous vehicles, medical devices, industrial IoT, or equivalent
- Demonstrated experience building provisioning or imaging pipelines for large numbers of physical devices (hundreds to thousands of units)
- Strong Linux systems administration: kernel configuration, systemd, networking, storage, package management, hardware interfaces
- Proficiency with containerization: Docker and/or Podman, container runtime configuration, and image management at the OS level
- Scripting and automation fluency in Bash and Python
- Experience building or operating end-of-line or hardware acceptance test systems
