Were looking for a Senior Robotics Engineer with deep, handson experience building, deploying, and scaling largeformat industrial robotic manipulation systemsthink highpayload robotic arms used in automotive, manufacturing, or warehouse automation environments.

This role is ideal for someone who started as a robotics generalist (strong in C++ and fundamentals), then moved into industrial automation, integrating robotic arms that handle heavy or complex parts with high precision. You should be comfortable taking a system from concept simulation integration production scale.

Youll work on advanced manipulation pipelines involving motion planning, perception integration, control strategies, and realtime system performance. Youll collaborate directly with mechanical, electrical, software, and perception teams to deliver reliable automation behaviors that operate safely and consistently at scale.

What Youll Do

• Design, build, and optimize manipulation behaviors for large industrial robotic arms (highpayload, multiDOF systems).
• Implement and maintain realtime robotics software in modern C++ (C++14/17/20).
• Develop and tune motion/control algorithms (trajectory generation, collision avoidance, force control, etc.).
• Integrate perception inputs (3D vision, sensors) into manipulation pipelines.
• Work on fullstack robotics behavior: simulation, planning, control, safety, deployment.
• Own systemlevel debugging across hardware, firmware, and software.
• Collaborate crossfunctionally with hardware and automation teams to scale reliable robotic behaviors.

What You Should Have

• 410+ years building robotic manipulation systems in industry.
• Direct experience working with large industrial arms (e.g., FANUC, KUKA, ABB, Yaskawa, UR for highpayload, etc.).
• Strong proficiency in C++ and realtime software development.
• Experience in warehouse automation, automotive manufacturing, or other scaled robotic assembly environments.
• Experience with motion control, path planning, kinematics/dynamics, torque/force control, etc.
• Ability to take a system from prototype production reliably.

Bonus Skills

• Experience with simulation tools (Isaac, Gazebo, Mujoco, Drake, etc.)
• Background integrating robotics with perception (3D vision, cameras, depth sensors.)
