By deploying our general-purpose humanoid robots in environments deemed hazardous or monotonous, we envision a future where human well-being is safeguarded while closing the gaps in critical global labour needs.

About the Role

We’re looking for a hands-on Application Lead to turn our robotics stack into a working product. This isn’t a coordination-only role. You’ll write code, integrate subsystems, debug real robots, and build the software layer that brings everything together for the end user.

You’ll lead a small team focused on application-level logic. This is where everything meets: controls, navigation, perception, learning, and platform. Your goal is to ship a cohesive, usable system that runs reliably in the real world.

You’ll work closely with engineers across the company, make practical decisions, build prototypes, and iterate fast. We want someone who’s not afraid to plug in, test in hardware, and own the product experience from the software side.

What You’ll Do

• Develop and maintain the top-level robot application code
• Integrate modules from other teams: controls, navigation, CV, RL, platform
• Build and evolve the application-side architecture and interfaces
• Make pragmatic technical decisions to accelerate delivery
• Collaborate with the product team on trade-offs and priorities
• Debug systems in both simulation and real-world hardware
• Occasionally travel to customer sites to test and validate deployments

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in robotics or related fields
• Strong C++ skills and experience building production systems
• Solid understanding of robotic systems: control, navigation, perception, learning
• Experience with ROS/ROS2 or equivalent middleware
• Ability to read, understand, and integrate code from other teams
• Willingness to get hands-on with robots, test setups, and tools
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills

Nice to Have

• Experience deploying robots in the field or at customer sites
• Familiarity with telemetry, logging, and system diagnostics
• Exposure to operator UX and teleoperation systems
• Comfort working under uncertainty and with real-world constraints

Benefits

• High competitive salary.
• 23 working days of vacation per year.
• Flexible working hours.
• Opportunity to work on the latest technologies in AI and Robotics.
• Startup model, offering a dynamic and innovative work environment.

• Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary engineers on prototype design, assembly, and bring-up, especially high-density electromechanical integrations.
• Create, maintain, and execute clear test procedures, troubleshooting guides, and repair runbooks for the prototyping lab to ensure high standards and rapid iteration cycles.
• Design, document, and iterate on cable assemblies, test jigs, and harnesses optimized for repeated use on dynamic robotic platforms.
• Identify and own opportunities for continuous process and product improvement—minimizing downtime and improving test/repair efficiency.
• Contribute to robust feedback loops across design, build, and test, driving first-pass yield and manufacturability.

We’re Looking For:

• Demonstrated experience in rapid physical prototyping, hands-on debug of custom hardware, and troubleshooting complex electrical systems in robotics or similar domains.
• Working knowledge of low-voltage and mixed-signal circuits, connectors, sensors, and compact electromechanical systems.
• Track record communicating concisely via documentation—procedures, test plans, diagnostics, and lessons learned.
• Adept collaborating across mechanical, electrical, and software engineering boundaries to solve urgent, ambiguous issues.
• Comfortable in a high-velocity, high-ambiguity startup setting where priorities shift fast.

Nice to have:

• Experience designing for manufacturability and reliability in the context of human-sized or mobile robotics.
• Familiarity with automated test and diagnostic tools used in modern hardware labs.
• Prior mentoring or technical leadership responsibility within a prototyping or field engineering team.
