About the role

Original posting from Alexander Chapman via LinkedIn

We’re working with a seed-stage robotics startup founded by ex-MIT engineers building an end-to-end robotic workforce platform focused on real-world deployment, teleoperation, and autonomous systems.

They’re hiring a Senior Robotics Software Engineer to help build and scale core robotics infrastructure across areas like:

  • Robot control systems
  • Teleoperation
  • Navigation & autonomy
  • Fleet management
  • Sensor integration & real-time systems

What they’re looking for:

  • 5+ years of experience in robotics, autonomy, aerospace, or physical systems
  • Strong C++ and Python
  • ROS/ROS2, Linux, Docker
  • Experience working directly with hardware
  • Production-grade engineering mindset

Nice to have:

Simulation, SLAM/perception, low-latency networking, startup experience.

The environment is highly hands-on and fast-paced — ideal for engineers who enjoy building real systems end-to-end, staying close to the code, and having significant ownership from an early stage.
