Founding Robotics Engineer (Embedded Software)

We’re deploying robotic security to make communities safer so people can thrive. Backed by Atlanta Ventures and Fuse VC, we’ve become the largest robotic security company in the US in just over a year. We have close to 100 robots sold, and we’re just getting started.

We operate the largest fleet of Unitree quadrupeds in the United States. As a founding robotics engineer, you will be responsible for building features that ensure maximum fleet uptime.

Your role will include shipping both hardware and software solutions. You will work directly with Unitree Go2 Pros, our Undaunted security payload, and our Undaunted fleet management dashboard.

You will also work closely with our field operations and Mission Control teams to ensure tight integration and company-wide adoption of new features.

As an early-stage startup, our needs change rapidly, and we expect you to adapt when those situations arise, wear many hats, and be an ultimate team player. That said, we envision the following.

Immediate

We are working towards 99% uptime across our fleet, even as we expand into new markets and grow our fleet size.

You will work to solve our biggest challenges preventing 99% uptime including: Unitree connection issues, complications stemming from Unitree servers, mitigating extreme weather, and hardware/software improvements to our security payload.

You’ll work directly with customer feedback to inform design decisions and guide further iterations. Much of the hardware and software you ship will serve as a technical foundation for our longer-term efforts, including fully autonomous Go2 patrols and a custom quadruped system.

Beyond:

You will contribute to the design and development of our in-house quadruped robot. This platform is intended to operate in more complex, unstructured environments.

You’ll be involved in early architectural decisions and hands-on development across mechatronics, electrical, and embedded systems, including:

• Prototyping and testing subsystems to validate performance under real operational conditions

• Iterating toward a platform that is manufacturable, maintainable, and deployable at scale

This is a rare opportunity to take full ownership of a US-made quadruped built for real-world deployment, not confined to a research lab.

We are looking for someone who meets our company values:

1. Mission First – We exist to make communities safer so people can thrive. Our technology is a tool for impact, and we never lose sight of that.

   • You have a track record of working on impactful projects.

   • You can articulate why our mission resonates with you personally.

2. Passionate Ownership – Nothing is “not our job.” We challenge ourselves and our teammates to work harder and smarter because we care too much to settle for less.

   • You set high standards for yourself and others and are willing to share direct, candid feedback with others.

   • You're passionate about your ideas but open to changing your mind and committing to team decisions.

   • You are deeply invested in the things you spend your time on and you work harder than others to get it done right.

3. Lead with Love – We operate with empathy and compassion for everyone our work touches. We support our team, uplift the communities we serve, and even recognize the humanity in those we deter.

   • You show up authentically, build lasting trust with teammates, support them through challenges, and rejoice in their successes.

   • You care about our broader social impact and seek to understand it more deeply over time.

4. Outrageous Ambition – We aim to build a robotic security company on a scale that does not currently exist and we have 100% conviction that we will succeed. We dream bigger and figure out ways to achieve our goals.

   • You have accomplished things in your life that you thought were impossible, and continue to redefine the standard for yourself.

   • You think that 50,000 robots in the field in the next 5 years isn’t just achievable, but an expectation.

We’re looking for true generalists, engineers who aren’t afraid of tackling problems outside their comfort zones. Some of these attributes include:

• Hands-On Builder: You take ideas from concept to working product, whether it’s hacking together a quick prototype or refining a system for real-world reliability.

• Embedded Software: Writing code for Raspberry Pi, Jetsons, Arduino, ESP32, etc.

• Mechatronics: Experienced in integrating cameras, motors, sensors, and controllers with Raspberry Pi-based systems, including wiring, soldering, and real-world hardware deployment.

Nice to haves:

• Web development (JavaScript/TypeScript, React)

• Server-side infrastructure (Docker, Kubernetes, VMs, database management, etc)

• PCB design (schematic capture, layout, manufacture)

We offer a competitive startup package for this robotics engineering position, including:

• Competitive salary, benefits, and equity

• Location: In-person working at our offices in South Downtown Atlanta (at the new Atlanta Tech Village Sylvan)
