Robotics Systems Engineer – AMR
San Francisco Bay Area (Onsite/Hybrid)About the CompanyWe’re partnering with a fast-growing robotics company developing autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) deployed in real-world environments. Their systems are already operating in production, and they’re scaling both their platform and engineering team to support rapid growth.This role sits at the intersection of software, hardware, and operations, ideal for someone who enjoys owning system-level performance and working hands-on with robots in the field.The RoleAs a Robotics Systems Engineer, you will be responsible for integrating, validating, and optimizing robotic systems across perception, navigation, and control. You’ll work cross-functionally to ensure reliable performance from simulation through to real-world deployment.Key Responsibilities;Own system-level integration of AMR platforms across perception, localization, planning, and controls
Debug and resolve issues spanning software, hardware, and networking layers
Support robot bring-up, testing, and validation both in lab and in live deployment environments
Collaborate with autonomy, infrastructure, and hardware teams to improve system reliability and performance
Develop tools, scripts, and workflows to support testing, monitoring, and diagnostics
Analyze logs and telemetry data to identify root causes and drive continuous improvement
Contribute to simulation-to-real-world transfer and validation processes
Support field deployments and provide technical support during critical operationsRequirements
2+ years of experience in robotics, autonomous systems, or a related field
Strong programming skills in Python and/or C++
Experience working with ROS/ROS2 and Linux-based systems
Solid understanding of robotics systems: localization, mapping (SLAM), motion planning, and control
Hands-on experience with physical robots (integration, testing, debugging)
Experience with sensors such as LiDAR, cameras, IMUs, and odometry systems
Ability to troubleshoot complex, cross-disciplinary system issuesWhy JoinWork on robots that are actively deployed in real-world environments
High ownership and visibility across system architecture and performance
Fast-paced, execution-focused team solving complex, real-world problems
Competitive compensation, equity, and strong growth trajectory
