Job description

We are a well-funded startup on a mission to build the nervous system for AI-powered robots in industrial applications.

Founded by leading robotics researchers, we are growing our dynamic, world-class team to deploy robots at scale. Join us in helping people handle more throughout the supply chain!

We are seeking a Senior Robotics Software Engineer to develop core robotics libraries and runtime application software for Ambi products. In this role, you will rapidly develop, test, and deploy software across the robotics software engineering stack for core product functionality to improve warehouse operations. You will work closely with the Software team and the CTO.

You are a good fit if you have:

• Excitement about making a real-world impact for people in the warehouse, putting product function first
• Eagerness to act as a generalist and solve a diverse set of challenging problems that amplify human potential with state-of-the-art robotics
• A bias toward action: you prioritize fast development and testing on hardware versus incubating an idea until it is “ready”
• Enthusiasm for owning all phases of the development process from design to implementation to testing to improvements
• A desire for career growth and ownership of your work
• Proficiency with Python, Linux, and Docker
• Experience with C++ or Rust
• A strong understanding of software engineering development practices (git, CI/CD), finite state machines, multiprocessing/multithreading, and socket programming
• General experience across the robotics software stack, including controls, kinematics, motion planning, and rigid transformations / 3D geometry
• Familiarity with project management and acting as tech lead on projects involving one or more other members
• A BS in a related field with four years of experience in commercial robotics software development OR an MS/PhD in a related field with two years of experience in commercial robotics software development
• (BONUS) Experience in advanced robotics software topics such as controls or motion planning
• (BONUS) Experience with APIs, advanced networking, and application software architecture (e.g. Model-View-Controller)
• (BONUS) Familiarity with computer vision, grasp planning, collision checking, and/or machine learning

In addition to competitive compensation, we offer benefits such as:

• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401k with 5% matching by Ambi
• Equity ownership
• Unlimited PTO
• Partial WFH
• Access to a full gym at HQ
• Free parking on site at HQ
• Free lunches 2x per week
