Senior Robotics Software Engineer: Production-Ready Autonomy

Fruition Group US; San Jose (CA); On-site; USD 120,000 - 170,000; Full time

Job summary

Fruition Group US is seeking a hands-on Robotics Software Engineer to advance general-purpose mobile manipulation systems. Your work will deploy on real robots in logistics, retail, and manufacturing, influencing behavior, perception, and learning across the autonomy stack.

You will design task sequencing, develop safety mechanisms, build telemetry and simulation tooling, and own features end-to-end from architecture to deployment in a fast-paced robotics environment.

Qualifications

• 2–5+ years of professional robotics software experience on physical robots.
• Strong C++ and Python development in production codebases.
• Experience owning features end-to-end from architecture to testing and deployment.
• Solid debugging skills using logs, telemetry, and system diagnostics.
• Understanding of robot kinematics, transforms, and 3D geometry.
• Experience with behavior trees, state machines, or robot sequencing frameworks.
• Experience with ROS 2 and production robotics deployment.
• Background in motion planning, perception, or robot learning.
• Experience deploying learned policies with deterministic safety.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement robot behavior, sequencing, and recovery logic for manipulation workflows.
• Develop mechanisms to detect failures and restore the robot to a safe state without operator input.
• Improve task success rate, throughput, and cycle time across production apps.
• Build logging, telemetry, simulation, replay, and regression tooling for field faults.
• Debug issues across perception, planning, controls, and hardware/software interfaces.
• Integrate planning, perception, controls, and learned policies into production behaviors.
• Develop safeguards around learned components to ensure reliable customer operation.
• Contribute to architecture, testing, deployment, and reliability improvements.
