Job Description
About you and this role:
Robust AI is a fast-growing, early-stage startup founded in 2019 by an unsurpassed team of veterans in robotics, AI and business. We are a collaborative group with a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives, seeking talented individuals who are just as excited about robotics and AI as we are! Help us redefine the very foundation of robotics and build robots that are smart, collaborative, robust, safe, flexible and genuinely autonomous. As a Robot Systems Engineer at Robust AI you will join a small fast-paced team working to design and deploy the next generation of warehouse robotic systems.
In this role you will collaborate closely with our engineering team to lead the optimization of Linux-based software platforms that interface directly with robotic hardware, ensuring reliable real-time control, communication, and system performance. You are curious, deeply knowledgeable, well-organized, and thorough — and you thrive in the fast-moving environment of an early-stage startup where pivoting quickly is part of the job.
Our robots are deployed across diverse customer sites and operate across a range of software and hardware configurations, with distribution models that span onboard, on-premises, and cloud-based environments. You will also play an important role in ensuring the security and integrity of sensitive data both on and off-robot. Compensation is competitive and commensurate with your skills, qualifications, and experience.
