Robotics Systems Integration Engineer

Mind Robotics Inc.; Palo Alto, Northern (CA, KY); Hybrid; USD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Mind Robotics Inc. seeks a Systems Engineer to own integration across the robot, from decomposing high-level behaviors into specs to debugging complex interactions when everything runs together.

You’ll collaborate across hardware and firmware teams, define and own the robot's behavior specs, and manage the system from concept through field deployment. You’ll work at the intersection of mechanical, electrical, firmware, and controls, on bench work and documentation, ensuring subsystems meet

Qualifications

• Degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• 2+ years in systems engineering or cross-disciplinary hardware role involving electromechanical/robotic products.
• Strong hardware and software fundamentals bridging electrical schematics, embedded protocols, and firmware architecture.
• Hands-on debugging of subsystems with networked microprocessors and software-controlled devices; modify and recompile firmware.
• Experience defining requirements from high-level behaviors to measurable specs; write scripts/tools to speed bring-up and validation.
• Proficient in data analysis and visualization; instrument systems and communicate findings across teams.
• Comfortable with ambiguity, fast-moving, engineering-curious about whole-system behavior.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to architectural decisions for new robot subsystems including communication protocols and hardware/software partitioning.
• Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, safety, and firmware teams to define interfaces and validation strategies and lead calibration to hit targets.
• Define software requirements from high-level system requirements using first-principles analysis and hardware testing.
• Prototype and characterize components and full systems and design early builds to de-risk new tech.
• Debug hardware-software interactions hands-on during design, launch, and field deployment with logs and instrumentation.
• Analyze failure modes, perform DFMEAs/HARAs, and define system-level test plans from bench to field deployment.
• Drive readiness reviews, sign-off, and post-launch monitoring across firmware, hardware, controls, reliability, and manufacturing stakeholders.
