Focus on automation for fulfillment and warehouse operations
Combines applied AI with robotics and control systems
Engineering-driven culture with direct access to real-world feedback loops
Small, high-impact team with strong technical ownership
The team includes engineers with backgrounds across advanced robotics, large-scale software systems, and high-performance engineering environments.
What You Will Do
Design and implement robot control and behavior systems for real-world manipulation tasks
Build modular, extensible software architectures adaptable across customers and use cases
Develop heuristics and data-driven logic for handling diverse SKUs and item categories
Detect and handle real-world anomalies, including double picks, item disassembly, and mis-grasps
Build internal tools and automation to speed up robot deployment and commissioning
Design APIs and interfaces for integration with Warehouse Management Systems and customer infrastructure
Test and validate software through unit tests, simulation, and on real robots
Collaborate closely with perception, ML, hardware, and operations teams
Why This Role
Build robots powered by AI
Work on systems already deployed in production
Test code in unit tests, simulations, and on real robots
