Senior Software Engineer - Robotics & AI
Stealth Startup Bay Area (Hybrid)
We are a stealth-stage robotics company building the next generation of embodied AI systems - machines that learn from humans and act safely and autonomously in the physical world. Our team is small, technical, and mission-driven, combining robotics, machine learning, and scalable software systems to push the frontier of intelligent automation.
What you'll do
- Design and implement core software for real-time robotic perception, control, and teleoperation
- Build robust data pipelines integrating vision, force, and motion signals
- Contribute to planning, simulation, and deployment infrastructure for embodied AI
- Collaborate across hardware, ML, and systems teams to bring robots from simulation to the real world
What we're looking for
- 5 years of experience in rust and or modern C
- Strong foundation in robotics, controls, or distributed systems
- Experience with real-time or GPU-accelerated compute
- Ability to move fast, write clean code, and operate in an ambiguous, high-impact environment
Nice to have
- Familiarity with ROS 2, MuJoCo, Genesis, or Isaac Sim
- Background in manipulation, teleop, or multi-modal sensing
- Startup experience or previous work in early robotics efforts
Why join us
You'll work directly with founders who have built successful robotics companies before, shaping the foundations of a system meant to redefine how machines assist people. Early engineers receive significant autonomy, technical depth, and meaningful ownership.
