We're looking for a true full-stack roboticist who is fluent across software, hardware, and mechanical domains:
- Software: Proficiency with robotics frameworks such as ROS/ROS2, MoveIt, and OpenCV; strong control algorithms and the ability to iterate quickly in a startup environment
- Hardware: Hands-on experience with embedded systems, sensors, actuators, wiring, and robot bring-up and integration
- Mechanical: Working understanding of robot mechanics — arm kinematics, mounting and fixturing, end-effectors, and the physical assembly/debugging of real hardware
- Demonstrated experience taking systems end-to-end, from prototype to deployed, across multiple subsystems
- Strong problem-solving skills and comfort working hands-on with real robots
Nice-to-Have
- Experience with industrial robotics, teleoperation, or multi-robot fleets
- Computer vision model training and deployment
- Sensor fusion, path planning, and SLAM / autonomous navigation
- Experience across many robot platforms or hardware form factors
Location: San Francisco, CA (on-site at our lab)
Why Robotics Center?
You'll work hands-on with one of the largest concentrations of robot platforms anywhere, backed by YC and NVIDIA, building the infrastructure layer for physical AI. Your work will directly shape how enterprises and researchers access and deploy real robots — spanning the full stack from mechanical hardware to AI.
