## About the role

At Mind Robotics, we're building generalized physical AI — robotic systems capable of dexterous, adaptive, and reasoning-intensive work in real-world industrial environments. Validation is how we make sure our robots actually work — not just once on a bench, but every time, on every robot, in the field. Closing the gap between simulation, hardware test, and the real robot is what makes that reliability possible.

## What they're looking for

- Technical degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience and evidence of exceptional ability
- Strong software engineering fundamentals, with fluency in Python and comfort in C/C++ or Rust for debugging at the firmware level
- Demonstrated experience building validation, simulation, or test infrastructure for real physical systems — robots, motors, actuators, or similar
- You are comfortable with ambiguity, move fast, and have an "engineering curiosity" that drives you to understand how the entire system works, not just your part
