Jobs at Pickle Robot Company

Lead technical vision and architecture for motion planning and controls for autonomous unload robots. Solve advanced planning and control problems (RRT, trajectory optimization, contact-aware control), convert research into production, write production-grade Python/C++, set engineering standards, design tests/benchmarks, analyze field failures, and mentor engineers. Hybrid role in Boston with occasional customer travel.

Design, build, and productionize motion planning software for mobile manipulators and AMRs; deploy, benchmark, and validate planners across fleet compute platforms; create simulation CI to catch regressions; debug and tune on real hardware at customer sites; collaborate with perception, hardware, firmware, and deployment teams; write production-grade Python and C++ software meeting strict reliability, latency, and safety requirements.

Lead Talent Acquisition and People Operations, manage recruiters and People partners, own workforce planning, org design, succession planning, and candidate experience. Build automations, scale people programs and systems, develop managers, oversee compensation, benefits, HR operations, compliance, and People systems, and use people analytics to improve organizational effectiveness and decision-making.

The Backend Software Engineer designs and builds backend services for task planning and robotic workflows, ensuring performance and reliability in robotic systems.

Manage and grow a motion planning software team for warehouse robotics. Provide technical leadership, mentor engineers, align roadmap with product, develop and review algorithms, ensure safe high-performance behavior in simulation and on real robots, and own team deliverables.

Lead planning and delivery of complex software programs for Pickle's robotics platform. Coordinate cross-functional teams (software, robotics, firmware, hardware), manage risks and dependencies, run planning and release activities, improve processes and tracking, and drive alignment to deliver production-quality robotic software in a fast-paced startup.

Design and build scalable, reliable backend services in Python to support task planning and robotic workflows. Develop event-driven, messaging-based systems, collaborate with robotics engineers to integrate backend with hardware, improve performance and maintainability, and participate in code reviews and architecture decisions.

The Physical AI Architect will design and oversee the implementation of perception, planning, and control systems in robotics, focusing on optimal control and diffusion-based AI techniques while ensuring successful hardware integration.

The Simulation Software Engineer will develop and maintain simulation environments, improve workflows, and ensure reliability and accessibility of robotics simulations.
