Jobs at Dynamic Creatures

Owns company-wide safety for mobile character robots across the full lifecycle, from architecture and hazard analysis through validation, certification, deployment, and operations. The role establishes safety requirements, architectures, diagnostics, degraded modes, emergency behaviors, human-robot interaction safeguards, testing, safety cases, and release gates. It also leads incident and near-miss reviews, external partner coordination, safe deployment practices, and the growth of the company’s safety function.

Own product security for connected robotic products across embedded software, SDKs, APIs, and device-to-cloud services. Design authentication, authorization, encryption, and credential management; secure provisioning, software updates, and dependencies; review architectures and code; identify and remediate vulnerabilities; integrate security checks into development and release processes; and support product security incident response.

Develop and deploy robotics software on real hardware across perception, control, behavior, and tooling. Write robust, tested C++ and Python code, debug systems from drivers through behaviors, and collaborate with hardware and animation teams to deliver interactive robotic experiences.

Designs and prototypes robotic hardware subsystems spanning actuation, sensing, electronics, and mechanical structures. Integrates motors and sensors, conducts characterization and reliability testing, and iterates designs toward production readiness. Responsibilities also include documenting designs and contributing to bills of materials and manufacturing files. The role requires hands-on prototyping using machining, 3D printing, and soldering, with work performed in person five days per week in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Generalist opportunity for a curious, adaptable contributor to work across engineering, design, and operations. The role involves owning meaningful scope, solving ambiguous problems quickly, learning systems end-to-end, and contributing unique expertise to interactive character robotics, AI-enabled experiences, and hospitality or entertainment applications.

Leads machine learning projects from problem definition through product deployment. Designs and trains models for robotic perception, behavior, and interaction; collaborates with engineering to operationalize research; and mentors researchers and engineers. The role focuses on robotics, multimodal learning, and human-robot interaction in interactive character robots.
