Robotics Sensing Engineer: End-to-End Sensor Systems

Weave Robotics, Inc.; San Francisco (CA); On-site; USD 140,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

Weave Robotics, Inc. is seeking a Sensing Engineer to own sensors end-to-end for its home robotics platform.

You will handle emitter/detector electronics, analog front ends, calibration, and the processing layers that enable reliable sensing for firmware, software, and autonomy. Responsibilities span design, testing, and production calibration across multiple modalities, including optical, magnetic, capacitive, and sensors embedded in fabrics or near moving parts.

Qualifications

• 3+ years in sensing hardware and signal processing, with at least one sensor shipped and calibrated.
• Experience with analog front-ends, sensor conditioning, grounding and shielding across multiple channels.
• Strong fundamentals in filtering, estimation, and inverse problems related to sensors.
• Commitment to rigorous measurement design with accompanying error bars.

Responsibilities

• Own sensors end-to-end: architecture, electronics, sampling, signal processing, calibration, and production test.
• Design sensing electronics: analog front ends, emitter drive and detector chains, mixed-signal circuits, multi-channel arrays.
• Write algorithms: filtering, bias/temperature compensation, drift handling, outlier rejection, estimator integration.
• Characterize sensors: fixtures, experiments, noise, drift, crosstalk, latency, and failure modes.
• Build production calibration routines for per-unit alignment with reality.
• Detect sensor failure: health monitoring with confidence estimates.
• Evaluate next modalities: prototype candidates and provide data-backed guidance to product teams.
