Description

Why RoboForce

RoboForce is an AI robotics company developing Physical AI–powered Robo-Labor for dull, dirty, and dangerous work. The company’s robots are engineered for demanding industrial environments, with a focus on real-world deployment and scalability.
We are looking for a Senior Robotics Systems Engineer who thrives at the intersection of robotics software, system integration, and field deployment. You will develop the foundational platform that powers perception, planning, control, and autonomous operation—helping transform prototypes into reliable production robots.

Responsibilities

  • Design software interfaces between high-level robot applications and low-level sensors, actuators, embedded controllers, and communication buses.
  • Design and integrate mechatronic systems, mechanisms, and test fixtures; develop, troubleshoot, and improve electrical subsystems and interfaces.
  • Integrate and debug complex robotic systems spanning software, embedded, networking, electrical, and mechanical domains.
  • Diagnose performance, reliability, timing, and hardware-interface issues across the robot stack.
  • Drive system reliability and scalability through rigorous testing and root-cause analysis.
  • Requires 5 days/week in-office collaboration with the team.

Requirements

  • BS/MS in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 4+ years of hands-on robotics experience in industry, academia, or research labs, with a track record of building, integrating, and deploying real robotic systems.
  • Experience developing drivers, hardware abstraction layers, or software interfaces for sensors, actuators, or embedded devices.
  • Hands-on experience with several of the following: ROS/ROS2, real-time or embedded Linux, fieldbus or device communications, distributed middleware, sensor/actuator integration, and performance optimization.
  • Ability to design and troubleshoot basic electrical circuits and mechanical components for robotic systems.
  • Strong debugging, system integration, and root-cause analysis skills.

Bonus Qualifications

  • Experience with humanoids, mobile manipulators, or similar platforms.
  • Experience with Linux kernel development, kernel modules, device drivers, or low-level systems software.
  • Experience optimizing communication, latency, reliability, or observability in distributed robotic systems.
  • Experience with AI-enabled robotic systems, teleoperation/data-collection devices (e.g., Gello- or UMI-style systems), and real-world robot data pipelines.

Benefits

  • Competitive stock options/equity programs.
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) plan.
  • Visa sponsorship and green card support for qualified candidates.
  • Lunches and dinners, a fully stocked kitchen, and regular team-building events.

Compensation: Salary $160,000–$265,000 USD + Bonus + Equity
The base salary range above represents the expected compensation for this full-time U.S. position. Final compensation will be determined based on role scope, level, location, job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training, and may fall outside the listed range in exceptional cases.
