The all-in-one, most intuitive, most affordable industrial robots. Backed by General Catalyst.
About the role
You write the code that proves our controls and industrial-integration layer works. You're a developer first, but your domain is the seam where our robots meet the factory floor: PLCs, fieldbus protocols, I/O, and safety systems. You build the automated test suites, hardware-in-the-loop rigs, and PLC/protocol simulators that let us validate controls behavior without waiting on a physical cell, and you validate integrations in real time alongside the engineers building them.
What they're looking for
- Strong Software Engineering: 4+ years (or strong equivalent) writing production-quality code daily in Python, C/C++, or TypeScript, with deep test-automation and CI/CD experience (Playwright, pytest, or similar)
- Controls & Industrial Automation: Hands-on background with PLC programming and industrial communication protocols (Modbus TCP/RTU, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, PROFINET) and digital/analog I/O
- Electrical Fundamentals: Reads electrical schematics, comfortable with signal types (24V digital I/O, 4–20mA analog) and test equipment (multimeters, etc.), and can build and wire test fixtures and PLC cabinets
- Systems Thinking: Comfortable debugging networked, distributed, and real-time systems across the software/hardware boundary
- Impact Driven: You value simplicity, reliability, and velocity, and would rather prevent a bug than file one
- A developer with a controls or industrial-automation background who wants to apply strong software skills to robotics quality at the hardware seam — equally at home in a codebase and in front of a PLC cabinet
