Job description

Robotics Software Engineer | New York / Remote

Berkley Hunt is partnering with an early-stage embodied AI company building intelligent robotic systems for real-world environments. They're looking for a Robotics Software Engineer to help develop and deploy the software, learning systems and simulation workflows behind their robots.

This is a hands‑on role for someone who enjoys turning advanced AI and robotics research into working behaviour on physical hardware. You'll work closely with a small technical team, contribute directly to live demos and help shape the core robotics stack as the company grows.

What You'll Do

• Build software for autonomous and embodied AI systems
• Develop robot behaviours using C++, Python and PyTorch
• Work with Isaac Sim and NVIDIA Omniverse on simulation, testing and sim-to-real workflows
• Help train, evaluate and improve learning‑based robot policies
• Integrate software with robotic hardware platforms
• Debug real‑world robot behaviour and contribute to live product demos
• Partner closely with engineering and product leadership in a small, high‑ownership team

What We're Looking For

• Strong C++ and Python experience
• Hands‑on PyTorch experience, ideally in robotics, reinforcement learning or embodied AI
• Experience with Isaac Sim, NVIDIA Omniverse or similar robotics simulation tooling
• Background building and deploying software for real robots, rather than purely research or simulation
• Comfortable working across simulation, policy development and hardware integration
• Strong problem‑solving skills and interest in a fast‑moving early‑stage environment
• Experience from advanced robotics, autonomous vehicle, aerospace, or physical AI teams is highly relevant
• New York preferred, with flexibility for exceptional US‑based candidates
• Small technical team with direct exposure to leadership
• Opportunity to shape core robotics software and embodied AI systems from an early stage
• $200k-$300k total compensation, plus equity and benefits
