Work Arrangement: Full-Time, Onsite. Travel: Approximately 10–15% to customer sites.\r\nAbout the Opportunity\r\nOur client is an early-stage robotics company transforming industrial manufacturing through advanced automation, computer vision, and AI-driven robotics. Their technology addresses one of the most significant challenges facing modern industry: enabling manufacturers to automate highly skilled, labor-intensive processes in real-world production environments.\r\nWith strong customer demand and commercial momentum, the company is expanding its engineering team and seeking talented robotics software engineers who are excited about building systems that operate on factory floors, not just in simulation.\r\nThis is an opportunity to join a small, highly technical team where your work will directly influence product development, customer deployments, and the future direction of the company's robotics platform.\r\nThe Opportunity\r\nAs a Robotics Software Engineer, you will help develop the software stack powering next-generation industrial robotic systems. Working across motion planning, perception, controls, system integration, and deployment, you'll help bring intelligent automation into demanding manufacturing environments.\r\nThis role is ideal for engineers who enjoy working across disciplines, solving complex real-world problems, and seeing their software rapidly deployed into production environments.\r\nWhat You'll Do\r\nDesign, develop, and maintain robust, scalable software for industrial robotic systems.\r\nDevelop motion planning, trajectory generation, and real-time robotic control capabilities.\r\nIntegrate cameras, sensors, and perception systems into robotic workflows.\r\nBuild perception-to-action systems that enable robots to operate autonomously in dynamic manufacturing environments.\r\nWrite, test, and deploy production-quality software directly onto physical robotic systems.\r\nDevelop tools, interfaces, and operational workflows that improve robot performance and reliability.\r\nConduct simulation, testing, and real-world validation of robotic systems.\r\nOptimize software performance across edge, embedded, and cloud-connected environments.\r\nContribute to software architecture and long-term platform scalability.\r\nSupport customer deployments, commissioning activities, troubleshooting, and system optimization.\r\nCollaborate closely with software, controls, hardware, and manufacturing engineers in a highly cross-functional environment.\r\nRequired Qualifications\r\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.\r\n2–6 years of experience developing software for robotic systems.\r\nStrong Python programming skills and commitment to software engineering best practices.\r\nExperience deploying software onto physical robotic systems rather than exclusively simulation environments.\r\nStrong understanding of\r\nRobotics kinematics and dynamics\r\nMotion control\r\nState estimation\r\nReal-time robotic systems\r\nExperience integrating cameras, sensors, or perception systems into robotic applications.\r\nProficiency with Git, software testing, debugging, and modern development workflows.\r\nStrong problem-solving skills and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced startup environment.\r\nPreferred Qualifications\r\nMaster's degree in Robotics, Computer Science, or related discipline.\r\nExperience with ROS, ROS2, Drake, or similar robotics frameworks.\r\nStrong expertise in one or more of the following\r\nMotion Planning\r\nComputer Vision\r\nRobot Learning\r\nRobotic Manipulation\r\nExperience with industrial robot arms or manufacturing automation systems.\r\nFamiliarity with PLCs, industrial controls, or real-time control frameworks.\r\nExperience optimizing software for embedded or edge-computing environments.\r\nKnowledge of distributed systems and cloud-connected robotic architectures.\r\nWhy This Role Stands Out\r\nYour work will be deployed onto production robotic systems operating in real customer environments.\r\nMost software developed reaches production deployments quickly, often within weeks rather than months or years.\r\nYou'll work across the full robotics stack instead of being limited to a narrow technical silo.\r\nYou'll have direct visibility into how your work impacts customers, manufacturing operations, and business outcomes.\r\nYou'll join a small, highly collaborative team where engineers have significant ownership and influence over technical decisions.\r\nAdditional Requirements\r\nDue to U.S. export control regulations (ITAR), applicants must be U.S. Citizens or lawful permanent residents (Green Card holders).\r\nVisa sponsorship is not available for this position.\r\nJ-18808-Ljbffr","company":"MRINetwork","rawCompany":"mrinetwork","city":"Millbrae","state":"CA","isRemote":false,"isActive":true,"createdAt":"2026-07-04T02:55:53.427Z","occupations":[{"code":"17-2199.08","title":"Robotics Engineers","slug":"robotics-engineers"},{"code":"15-1252.00","title":"Software Developers","slug":"software-developers"},{"code":"17-3024.01","title":"Robotics Technicians","slug":"robotics-technicians"}],"industries":[{"code":"333248","title":"All Other Industrial Machinery Manufacturing","slug":"all-other-industrial-machinery-manufacturing"},{"code":"541511","title":"Custom Computer Programming Services","slug":"custom-computer-programming-services"},{"code":"541512","title":"Computer Systems Design Services","slug":"computer-systems-design-services"}],"jobPosting":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Robotics Software Engineer - Motion Planning, Vision & Deployment","description":"Robotics Software Engineer – Motion Planning, Vision & Deployment\r\nLocation: San Francisco Bay Area.
