Robotics Engineer - Help Build the Future of Intelligent Automation!

Berkeley, CA | Onsite

Opportunity Summary

A fast-growing deep tech startup is on a mission to transform labor automation through the development of general-purpose robotics and advanced intelligent control systems. This team is building the foundational robotics software infrastructure that will allow anyone, anywhere, to control any robot seamlessly. Their vision is to unlock scalable, reliable robotic solutions that pave the way toward general-purpose robotic foundation models. As a Robotics Engineer, you will work hands-on at the cutting edge of robotics and AI, developing and deploying full-stack robotic systems, designing advanced learning models, and turning raw components into fully functioning robotic platforms. This role is ideal for engineers who thrive in fast-paced, highly technical environments and want to impact the next generation of autonomous robotics directly.

About Us

We are a venture-backed robotics startup founded by engineers and researchers with backgrounds in AI, robotics, and large-scale product deployment. Our team combines experience in building real-world robotics solutions, mass-produced consumer products, and groundbreaking AI research. By uniting these disciplines, we are accelerating the path to true general-purpose robotics.

Job Duties

  • Design, test, and integrate robotics algorithms for robotic manipulators, mobile platforms, and humanoid systems with high degrees of freedom.
  • Build and optimize deep learning pipelines, including data processing, model design, and deployment.
  • Independently take robotic systems from concept and raw parts to fully functional prototypes.
  • Develop high-quality, well-tested software using modern engineering practices.
  • Create and maintain simulation models for manipulation and motion testing.
  • Evaluate robotic solutions, making technical trade-offs to balance performance, efficiency, and reliability.

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of experience working in robotics, AI, or related fields.
  • Strong proficiency in Python and practical experience with deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch or JAX.
  • Hands-on expertise in at least one of the following : manipulation, locomotion, navigation algorithms, imitation learning, reinforcement learning, or generative modeling.
  • Demonstrated experience in implementing, testing, and deploying robotic solutions in research or production.
  • Ability to rapidly build and iterate systems from the ground up.
  • Familiarity with both classical robotics approaches and modern machine learning techniques, with an understanding of tradeoffs between them.
  • Strong track record of producing robust, high-quality software at speed.
  • Availability to collaborate on-site full-time
  • Preferred Experience

  • Prior work with robot learning systems or large generative models.
  • Experience operating in fast-paced, ambiguous environments where solutions require creativity and exploration.
  • A strong personal passion for robotics and state-of-the-art AI.
  • Why Join Us

  • Opportunity to shape the future of general-purpose robotics at an early stage.
  • Direct access to an ambitious and accomplished founding team.
  • Growth potential with a rapidly scaling venture-backed startup.
  • Collaborative, high-energy work environment.
  • Competitive compensation package with equity participation.
