Jobs at Standard Bots

Staff Forward Deployed Engineer embedded with a major robotics customer, responsible for debugging and improving realtime robot-control systems, SDKs, APIs, ROS 2 integrations, and robot controllers. The role combines customer technical leadership, production incident resolution, software delivery, reliability engineering, and platform generalization. It requires extensive onsite work in the San Francisco Bay Area, with recurring travel to New York.

Design and own automated test suites and hardware-in-the-loop infrastructure for controls and industrial integration. Exercise industrial protocols (Modbus, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, PROFINET), build PLC/protocol simulators and safety-system validation, and collaborate with software and applications engineers to validate integrations in real time. Deliver maintainable test code, fixtures, and reviews for protocol compliance and CI/CD pipelines.

Build and own AI team systems spanning data ingestion, labeling, training and evaluation infrastructure, model deployment, perception integration, and customer-facing applications and APIs. Drive high-impact technical projects, make hands-on architectural decisions, mentor engineers, and support a broad AI software stack. The role is approximately 70% backend and 30% frontend, with focus areas including ML Ops, data pipelines, or computer vision.

Execute manual regression, smoke, exploratory, and release-candidate testing across robot control software, teach pendants, core workflows, and physical six-axis robots. Create and maintain test cases in Qase, document reproducible defects with logs and build details, collaborate with SDETs and systems test engineers, identify coverage gaps, and perform basic hardware recovery such as re-homing and resets.

Corporate Controller responsible for building and scaling the accounting function, owning monthly, quarterly, and annual close, implementing COSO and SOX-caliber controls, leading PCAOB external audits, and managing technical accounting under US GAAP. The role includes SEC reporting readiness, equity administration, ERP implementation, inventory accounting, policy development, team building, and IPO preparation. This hybrid position partners closely with finance leadership, the board, audit committee, and manufacturing operations.

Designs, installs, programs, validates, and supports six-axis robotic automation solutions at customer sites. Partners with sales, customers, and engineering teams to develop applications, create technical enablement materials, test integrations, and contribute to marketing collateral. Requires hands-on mechanical, electrical, and software experience in manufacturing, automotive, or industrial automation environments, with extensive domestic travel and factory-floor work.

Serves as Standard Bots’ first in-house legal hire, leading commercial contract drafting and negotiation across customers, suppliers, resellers, and partners. Builds contract playbooks and legal processes, advises on robotics safety, privacy, AI, defense compliance, employment, corporate matters, international expansion, strategic transactions, and IP. Manages outside counsel and legal risk while supporting business growth. The role is hybrid, requiring three days weekly onsite in Manhattan or Glen Cove, New York.

Own end-to-end robotic integration projects, including site surveys, cell design, robot and PLC programming, safety commissioning, installation, testing, troubleshooting, documentation, and customer handoff. Integrate robots with peripheral equipment, industrial networks, vision systems, MES, and ERP platforms. Provide customer training and post-deployment support while identifying reusable designs, code libraries, and process improvements.

Develop and optimize advanced AI models, training pipelines, evaluation frameworks, and debugging systems for robotics applications. Lead rapid experimentation, model architecture development, fine-tuning, performance optimization, and interpretability efforts. Collaborate with engineering teams on training infrastructure and deployment. The role emphasizes ML planning for autonomous vehicles, diffusion and autoregressive models, reinforcement learning, and translating research into production systems.

The Regional Sales Manager will develop new business opportunities, manage client relationships, and drive revenue growth in the manufacturing and logistics sectors.

Own full-cycle recruiting for Standard Bots’ manufacturing organization, from outbound sourcing and multi-stage outreach through interviews, offers, and closing. Hire across hourly production, skilled trades, manufacturing engineering, quality, and plant leadership roles. Partner with manufacturing leaders on scorecards, leveling, compensation benchmarks, and interview design; maintain ATS data in Ashby; optimize recruiting messaging and processes; and deliver a strong candidate experience in a fast-growing startup environment.

Develop and optimize AI models and training systems for robotics applications, focusing on design, implementation, and performance optimization of ML models.

The Staff Software Engineer will drive technical strategy, lead complex projects, improve engineering standards, and mentor engineers across the organization, focusing primarily on back-end systems but maintaining full-stack awareness.

Own import/export operations and trade compliance for an industrial robotics manufacturer: manage customs filings, HTS classification, tariff strategy, freight coordination, denied party screening, export controls, and optimize freight and broker relationships to ensure compliant, cost-effective international movement.

Develop and own automated test suites, HIL rigs, and PLC/protocol simulators to validate controls and industrial integrations. Exercise fieldbus protocols and I/O, integrate safety systems into release validation, and collaborate with engineers to debug and hand off maintainable test code and fixtures.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will drive technical projects, advise leadership, mentor peers, and work with a focus on user impact.

Lead a West Coast team of Applications Engineers owning territory technical delivery from pre-sales POCs through post-install support. Act as senior escalation, stay hands-on commissioning robotic cells, set standards, run capacity planning and development, and travel up to 25% for key installs and escalations.

Design and build AI-enabled robotics proofs of concept, then deploy and integrate them in customer sites. Responsibilities include camera placement and calibration, model deployment, I/O configuration, on-site troubleshooting, and customer training. Collaborate with sales and engineering teams, produce documentation and integration guides, and feed deployment learnings back into product development.

Design, build, and deploy robotic automation solutions: develop proofs of concept, program and wire systems, install and commission robotic cells, train customers, run demos, and provide ongoing field support and integration feedback.

Lead discovery, strategy, and delivery for a core robotics software product area. Deeply engage customers and sites, define specs, iterate prototypes with designers and engineers, and deliver polished, production-ready features that integrate hardware and software.
