Top Robotics Engineer Jobs

Lead Wilder's robotics software technical strategy and architecture, make long-horizon architecture decisions, mentor senior engineers, remain hands-on for hard prototypes and fielded problems, and align engineering direction with company goals.

Build production-quality motion-planning and manipulation systems converting CAD/process paths into collision-free, constrained Cartesian robot trajectories. Account for kinematics, inverse kinematics continuity, collision avoidance, external axes, calibration, sensor feedback, trajectory generation, and industrial robot integration. Debug on physical robots, create simulation/verification and logging infrastructure, and work with cross-functional teams to deploy and maintain reliable manufacturing automation.

Lead verification & validation and software quality for autonomous lab robotics. Build Python test automation (unit, API, UI), hardware-in-the-loop and simulation-based tests, integrate suites into CI/CD, define V&V/test plans mapping requirements to coverage, diagnose nondeterminism/flakiness, and manage reproducible test data and fixtures across software-hardware boundaries.

Lead and execute perception R&D and engineering for factory robots: define multi-year roadmap, architect perception pipelines (detection, segmentation, 6-DoF pose, scene understanding), drive sensor fusion and calibration, establish data/model workflows and deployment practices, integrate with planning/control, hire and mentor engineers, and evaluate research for production adoption.

Design and build backend and data systems for autonomous labs: scheduling (Temporal workflows), digital-twin modeling, data pipelines (Flyte), S3 lakehouse and PostgreSQL modeling, capacity planning services, and operate services on AWS EKS with Docker, Terraform, and CI/CD for scale and reliability.

Lead UX research and human-factors design for autonomous lab and robotics software. Conduct contextual inquiry, task analysis, and usability testing; design high-density operational and SCADA-style displays; prototype in Figma; define human-in-the-loop workflows; translate research into engineering-ready specs and design-system contributions; champion accessibility and operator trust in AI-driven automation.

Lead developer and partner adoption of NVIDIA Cosmos 3 and related world foundation models across robotics. Advise engineering teams, drive ecosystem engagement, support product launches, accelerate partner workloads, and provide product feedback to inform roadmap and research priorities.

The role involves technical leadership in developing and integrating autonomous systems for logistics, including design, collaboration with teams, and mentoring.

Design and optimize middleware and runtime systems for robotic platforms, ensuring system stability and user experience through CI/CD and deployment pipelines.

As a Robotics Research Engineer, you will design, implement, and deploy intelligent robotic systems, focusing on system architecture and control methods for manufacturing applications.

Assemble, test, and bring up humanoid robotic subsystems and full systems; interpret drawings and wiring diagrams; troubleshoot electromechanical issues; support prototyping, validation, documentation (BOMs, work instructions), and partner with supply chain and operations.

Develop and optimize mapping and localization systems for robots, improve accuracy and performance of point cloud processing, and support collaborative efforts across robotics teams.

Design and implement robotics software for lab automation, including motion planning, collision avoidance, vision for consumables, simulation and on-robot integration, and collaborate with partner scientists to deploy scalable, robust solutions.

Design and develop Persona's ML software stack for humanoid robots, applying ML to manipulation, navigation, locomotion, and perception. Build, test, and deploy models and data pipelines, monitor real-world performance, collaborate with partners and universities, and help grow the ML and autonomy teams.

Design and deploy real-time state estimation, sensor fusion, motion/trajectory planning, and control algorithms for multi-ton robotic construction platforms. Own C++/Python and MCU firmware codebases, build simulations and HIL setups, integrate and calibrate sensors (IMU, RTK-GPS, LiDAR, cameras, encoders), and iterate through field deployment and validation.

Develop and implement vehicle control architecture and real-time control systems for industrial mobile equipment using ROS2 and embedded controllers. Implement ros2_control interfaces, firmware/drivers for CAN-FD/I2C/SPI/UART/RS485, design and tune closed-loop controllers (PID/MPC/LQR), integrate sensors for state estimation, and model/control electro-hydraulic systems.

Design, optimize, and maintain the full robotics software stack: profile and reduce latency, build logging/monitoring and validation pipelines, run system-identification experiments, deploy ML models to edge devices, author production C++ and Python code, ensure performance and scalability, and integrate safety functions compatible with ML components.

The role involves developing algorithms for robotic task and motion planning, collaborating with engineers, and enhancing software solutions for robotics systems.

Lead integration, validation, and testing of autonomous vehicle systems. Develop and run test plans in lab, simulation, and on-road; troubleshoot sensors and software-hardware interfaces; analyze test data; automate validation workflows to ensure safe, reliable fleet performance.

The Robotics Application Engineer leads deployment of autonomous excavators, conducts site evaluations, troubleshoots issues, collaborates on technical strategy, and communicates value to customers.

Drive reliability requirements across robotics subsystems, oversee test designs, analyze failures, manage analytics, and lead reliability testing initiatives.

Develop, integrate, and deploy real-time robotics software for mobile manipulation systems. Write high-performance C++ code, profile and optimize system performance, build simulation/testbed scenarios, collaborate across disciplines, perform system integration and testing, and follow CI/CD and code-quality practices to deliver production-ready robotic solutions.

As a Senior Software Engineer in Robotics, you will transition Perception tasks to machine learning, focusing on system integration and optimization.

The Robotics Application Engineer will design, develop, and deploy software for robotic systems, integrating solutions into production environments while collaborating with cross-functional teams to enhance performance.

Lead functional safety strategy across robotic platforms from architecture through deployment. Create and maintain risk assessments, SRS, FMEDA, SISTEMA analyses, validation plans and safety cases. Coordinate cross-functional safety requirements for hardware, embedded software, controls and AI/ML features. Support customer deployments and vendor V&V, oversee regulatory compliance (CE, electrical, environmental, radio), mentor safety engineers, and monitor evolving standards to evolve internal safety processes.
