FEED

You will take complex and often ambiguous customer and machine problems, translate them into well-defined technical problems, evaluate classical robotics and modern learning-based approaches, rapidly prototype solutions, and lead those solutions through integration, validation, and production deployment. Construction autonomy is one of the most complex challenges in applied AI, and at Caterpillar, advancements in physical AI, simulation, sensing, and edge computing are turning things that once felt impossible-intelligent machines operating in dynamic jobsites-into reality.

To ensure the team has a capable software generalist who can bridge the gap between high-level applications and low-level system necessities, enabling rapid feature development, software porting, and necessary OS-adjacent implementations. Proven background as a generalist software engineer, comfortable operating across different layers of the software stack (from higher-level cloud applications down to OS-adjacent implementations).

Foundation

Robotics Engineer

Degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent demonstrated experience. Deep expertise in at least one of the following areas, with working knowledge of adjacent disciplines: Estimation and localization: sensor fusion, Kalman filtering, visual or inertial odometry, SLAM, or optimization-based estimation.

Prevail Recruiting

Founding Robotics Engineer

As the founding Robotics Engineer, youll bring up commercial robot platforms (humanoids, arms, mobile bases), wire up the sensors and data pipelines our world models need, and run the experiments that tell us whether the model actually works in the real world. Preferred: experience with humanoids/manipulators from major vendors (Unitree, Figure, 1X, Agility, Franka, etc.), and prior work in a research lab where the robot was a means to an end rather than the end itself.

Luma AI Inc

As a critical bridge between R&D and project operations, you will enhance real-world robotic performance through rigorous testing and validation, while coordinating with other engineering teams to ensure timely delivery of new features. Led by repeat founders and an engineering core from SpaceX and Tesla, we are backed by Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Piva Capital, Google, Gigascale Capital, Khosla Ventures, and RA Capital Management.

The range displayed on each job posting reflects the minimum and maximum target for new hire salaries for the position, determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, interview performance, and relevant education or training. We are a seed-stage startup building cutting-edge robotics solutions for the manufacturing industry, and we're looking for a Founding Engineer to join our core team.

Foundry Robotics

Robotics Engineer, AI & Software

Not a fit if: Your controls experience is purely simulation, your real world tuning amounts to changing PID gains in a UI, or youve never had to characterize a resonance, model an actuator, or fight a sensor that lies to you. Youll own the architecture and tuning of the precision pointing and tracking control loops, the state estimation behind them, and the closed loop integration with the tracker.

Aurelius Systems Inc

Sr. Robotics Software Engineer, Controls

You will design and productionise state-estimation systems that combine GNSS, IMU and wheel odometry to provide accurate, reliable vehicle motion and pose estimates across diverse vehicles, environments and operating conditions. Develop rigorous validation and benchmarking capabilities, including representative datasets, ground-truth comparisons, performance metrics and regression testing across diverse vehicles, environments and operating conditions.

Wayve

Staff Robotics Engineer, Localization

It would also be great if you have experience with visual odometry, SLAM, localisation, sensor fusion, ego-motion estimation, or geometric computer vision; GPU, DSP, NPU, or other hardware-accelerated robotics workloads; or production software at scale in a robotics or autonomous-systems company. You have experience productionising algorithm-heavy robotics software for vehicles, robots, drones, aerospace systems, or comparable edge platforms, including clear lifecycle, failure-handling, and recovery behaviour.

Our systems are designed to understand, predict, and control the real world with precision, turning complex physical operations into something more reliable, more scalable, and more productive. Our work only matters if it serves others, and we know that meaningful progress depends on the trust of the people we serve and the strength of our team—so we invest in both, creating an environment where you can do your best work and grow.

ATOMS

Senior Robotics Test Engineer

You will work closely with perception, ML, and software teams to integrate multi-sensor data into robust autonomy stacks and deploy them on real robotic platforms used for internal development, demos, and customer-facing systems. This role centers on developing and integrating perception, state estimation, planning, and learning-based behaviors while deploying them across AMRs, robotic arms, quadrupeds, and humanoids.

Lyte

Robotics Engineer (Algorithms & Software)

Success is a manipulation system that completes defined physical tasks repeatedly, exposes why it failed, and improves against physical evidence rather than a scripted laboratory demonstration. Led a failure-driven redesign that separated planning, perception, control, and hardware causes and produced a correction that survived repeated physical test.
