Robotics Software Engineer

Location

San Francisco, CA (full time, in-person)

Our mission is to accelerate the construction of critical infrastructure on Earth while pioneering technologies to enable humanity to build beyond Earth. Starting with Cosmic-1 – a system that installs solar panels 10x faster than today’s methods, helping us transition to a clean energy future and laying the groundwork for the future of autonomous construction.

As a Robotics Software Engineer, you will write, test, and ship code to robots working on live projects in the field. As a core member of the team, you will help define the era of autonomous construction.

This is a rare opportunity to:

• Work on hard, meaningful problems that impact the future of infrastructure and energy.
• Collaborate with a world-class team from NASA, Space
  
  X, Google, Built Robotics, and others.
• Rapidly grow, learn, and lead within a quickly scaling company.

• Design, develop, and implement software for robotic manipulation, navigation, and path planning systems.
• Contribute to the full software stack, from low-level motor control and sensor integration up to high-level application logic.
• Ensure the safety and reliability of mission‑critical systems through rigorous testing and adherence to engineering best practices.
• Collaborate with the hardware team to bring up new systems and troubleshoot issues.
• Travel to customer projects for on‑site testing and deployment of robotic equipment in the field.
• Maintain code quality through code reviews, automated testing, and documentation.

• 2+ years of professional engineering experience.
• Excellent C++, Python, and Linux development skills.
• Strong fundamentals in algorithms, software architecture, planning, and execution.
• Excellent communication and project management skills.
• Thrive in fast‑paced environments and push boundaries to meet deadlines.

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience.
• Advanced degree in robotics or a related field.
• Experience developing with ROS 2 and associated packages (Nav2, Move It).
• Experience in robotics simulation packages (e.g., Gazebo, Isaac Sim).
