About the role

We are seeking a Robotics Software Engineer to build the software that powers robot behavior in the real world. In this role, you will develop, integrate, and improve production-grade robotics capabilities across autonomy, systems, and developer infrastructure. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to turn promising prototypes into reliable software that runs on deployed robots operating in complex outdoor environments. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Education: B.S. or M.S. in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
  • Experience: 2+ years of professional experience in robotics, autonomous vehicles, drones, or complex embedded systems, with a demonstrated track record of deploying physical hardware products into the field
  • Programming Proficiency: Strong command of both C++ and Python, with the ability to read, debug, and write production-level C++ for core robot systems, alongside robust Python tooling
  • Robotics Software Fundamentals : Experience working with one or more core robotics domains such as perception, motion planning, controls, localization, state estimation, system integration, or robot behavior
  • Linux Systems Expertise : Strong comfort working in Linux development environments, including command-line tools, debugging workflows, scripting, and system-level troubleshooting
  • Debugging Mindset : Proven ability to diagnose and resolve problems that span software, hardware, sensors, and distributed system interactions
