Robotics Software Developer

About the role

Promise Robotics is pioneering Physical AI for homebuilding — a rapidly growing, venture-backed company bringing together AI, robotics, and manufacturing to help the homebuilding industry meet the growing demand for housing. Our robotic systems, built and operated inside AI-powered factories, give the industry the production capacity, consistency, and speed to build more high-quality homes than traditional methods allow. Our team spans AI researchers and roboticists to factory operators, technicians, and production teams — all building the future of homebuilding together.

We're building physical AI for housing — and unlike most of the field, our robots are already in production, fabricating real structures and generating real operational data every day across multiple factories.

We’re looking for a Robotics Software Developer to join our team and contribute to developing cutting-edge solutions for our core robotic manufacturing technologies. This is an early-career role for someone with strong fundamentals and hands-on robotics project experience who wants to develop it in production.

Why join us? -

Purpose-Driven Work: Contribute to projects with significant social, economic, and environmental impact.

-

Growth Opportunities: Be part of a growth-stage startup with substantial upside and leadership potential.

-

Cutting-Edge Technology: Work on state-of-the-art robotics solutions at the intersection of construction and automation.

-

Collaborative Culture: Join a diverse, high-performing team committed to continuous learning and innovation.

What you'll do: -

Build and maintain simulation scenes — set up and extend simulation environments and test scenarios that mirror our production cells.

-

Implement motion routines — develop and tune motion-planning and collision-checking behaviors in ROS 2 / MoveIt2 under the guidance of senior engineers.

-

Develop perception components — implement object detection, pose estimation, and point-cloud processing tasks for material handling and inspection.

-

Write clean, tested code — produce well-documented C++ and Python, backed by unit and integration tests.

-

Debug integration issues — help troubleshoot software–hardware issues alongside the robotics and hardware teams.

-

Participate in the team's practices — contribute to code reviews, agile ceremonies, and CI pipelines.

What you'll need to succeed: - Degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, or related fields (Masters/Ph.D. preferred).

-

Solid programming ability in C++ and/or Python.

-

Strong fundamentals in algorithms, data structures, and basic control concepts.

-

Ability to solve complex problems involving multi-disciplinary engineering concepts.
