About the role

Build and maintain the networking and communication infrastructure that connects onboard robot systems to each other, to the cloud, and to teleoperation and monitoring systems Own data collection pipelines that capture sensor, telemetry, and behavioral data from the robot and reliably upload it to cloud storage for model training

What they're looking for

  • 3+ years of experience in robotics software engineering, embedded systems, or a closely related field
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals in C++, Python, or Rust
  • Experience with networking, IPC, and communication protocols for hardware-software systems (e.g., gRPC, DDS, MQTT, WebSockets)
  • Familiarity with cloud storage and data upload pipelines (e.g., AWS, GCP, S3, GCS)
  • Experience with ROS/ROS2 or similar robotics middleware in production or research contexts
  • Ability to debug across the full stack — from driver-level issues to application behavior on live hardware
More about this role

At Rhoda AI, we’re building the next generation of generalist intelligent robots. We own the full robotics stack from high-performance hardware and robot systems to the infrastructure and state-of-the-art foundation world models that control our robots. Our robots are designed to be generalists capable of operating in complex, real-world environments and handling long-tail edge cases, made possible by our cutting edge research and end-to-end system design. We've raised over $450M and are investing aggressively in model research, infrastructure, hardware development, and manufacturing scale-up to make generalist robotics a reality.

We're looking for a Robot Software Engineer to help build and maintain the broad software foundation that keeps our humanoid robots running. You'll work across the full onboard stack — from networking and communication infrastructure to perception and control integration, data collection pipelines, and the tooling that lets us continue to develop and improve our robots in the field.
