Nice to Haves

• Experience deploying software to a fleet of devices in the field, including staged rollouts and rollback


• Experience with hardware-in-the-loop or automated on-device testing


• Familiarity with real-time robot software, such as controls, perception, or autonomy stacks


• Prior release engineering, quality assurance, or technical program management experience in an organization shipping both hardware and software

At Sunday Robotics, we’re building technology shaped by real people — curious, creative, and diverse. We’re proud to be an equal opportunity employer and consider all qualified applicants regardless of race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.
