Position Summary

X-Hab 3D is seeking a Senior Software Systems Engineer with full-stack development expertise to drive the next phase of productization and field deployment of our mobile 3D Concrete Printing (3DCP) platform.This is a strategic leadership role for someone who thrives in early-stage environments and wants to shape the foundation of a platform that can scale globally. This role blends real-time robotic systems architecture with hands-on full-stack UI/UX development to deliver a seamless, intelligent customer experience.The successful candidate will be in a position to influence company direction and technical standards from the ground up in an industry poised for disruption.

The ideal candidate has deep technical breadth — spanning real-time control systems (robotics, embedded software) and intuitive operator dashboards (front-end/back-end web applications). You will lead the design and integration of:

• Full-stack printer control and monitoring interfaces
• Real-time visualization tools for print progress and system health
• Closed-loop synchronization between printer and mixer-pump operations
• Integration with precision positioning systems for automatic printhead recalibration

Because close collaboration with our mechanical, electrical, and field systems teams is critical, this role requires a primarily on-site presence, but with some flexibility for remote work, when / if appropriate.

About X-Hab 3D

X-Hab 3D is a construction automation company developing mobile, robotic platforms that transform how structures are built. Our compact, all-terrain systems are equipped with fully programmable robotic arms capable of 3D concrete printing (3DCP) as well as a wide range of construction-related applications — including material handling, grading, excavation, repair, inspection, and more.

Built to meet the most demanding performance and reliability standards — including those required by the U.S. military for remote and austere environments — our systems serve as high-impact productivity tools across residential, commercial, civil, and defense construction markets.

At X-Hab 3D, we are focused on delivering integrated, systems-level solutions that combine advanced hardware, intelligent software, and innovative materials — including the development of low-carbon alternatives to ordinary Portland cement — to drive the next generation of construction productivity and resilience.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect and lead the development of a scalable software platform connecting robotic motion, material extrusion, sensor data, and user interface layers.
• Integrate external precision positioning systems for high-accuracy localization and closed-loop print recalibration.
• Define modular API and protocol standards across hardware and software layers.

Full-Stack Software Development (UI/UX Focus)

• Design and develop customer-facing printer dashboards for real-time control, remote monitoring, and troubleshooting.
• Build intuitive, responsive web applications and visualization tools for print progress, system status, and simulation previews.
• Deliver commercial-grade, user-friendly software packages that support field operators and customer deployments.
• Collaborate with customers, product managers, and field engineers to refine user experience requirements.

Real-Time Systems Development

• Lead real-time system integration across the robotic arm, mobile platform, and mixer-pump subsystems.
• Prototype synchronization logic between printing and material delivery (closed-loop control).
• Optimize system reliability, latency, and fault tolerance.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Translate cross-disciplinary product goals into actionable software requirements.
• Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and product teams to ensure cohesive system performance.
• Mentor junior developers and support best practices in code structure, documentation, and testing.
• Future-proof the platform for integration of smart automation, AI-driven adaptive printing, and digital twin capabilities.
• Continuously evaluate and incorporate emerging best practices in full-stack, robotics, and simulation technologies.

Qualifications & Experience

• 8+ years professional experience in full-stack software engineering or systems software development for robotics, automation, or industrial platforms.
• Proven hands-on experience delivering commercial-grade, user-friendly software packages for external customers or field operators.
• Full-stack proficiency: Front-end (e.g., React, Vue.js), back-end (e.g., Node.js, C#, Python/Flask/Fast API), and database systems (SQL/NoSQL).
• Strong background in real-time robotic control systems, embedded development, and sensor integration.
• Experience with robotic software frameworks (ROS2 preferred) and real-time operating systems (e.g., RTOS, Linux).
• Familiarity with 3D visualization libraries (e.g., Three.js, WebGL) is a plus.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.

Personal Attributes

• Systems Thinker: Ability to design scalable, modular architectures.
• UI/UX Mindset: Deep empathy for customer experience and usability.
• Technically Fearless: Willingness to prototype and iterate rapidly across hardware and software layers.
• Highly Collaborative: Effective cross-disciplinary communicator and team player.
• Comfortable working in a startup environment with evolving requirements and ambitious timelines.
• Mission-Driven: Excited by the opportunity to transform construction through automation, robotics, and sustainability.

How to Apply

Please submit your resume and a cover letter highlighting your direct, hands-on experience delivering full-stack, commercial-grade software for robotic, automation, or industrial applications. Emphasize examples where you created intuitive customer-facing interfaces for complex systems and/or led cross-disciplinary integration efforts.
