Develop and maintain high-performance robotics software systems for reliable operation of robotic platforms in real-world environments.
Responsibilities
- At Mind Robotics, we’re building generalized physical AI —robotic systems capable of dexterous, adaptive, and reasoning-intensive work in real-world industrial environments. Delivering this in production requires robust, high-performance robotics software that can reliably operate in complex, real-world settings.
- We’re looking for a Robotics Software Engineer to build the runtime systems, middleware, and developer infrastructure that power our robotic platforms—from low-level execution to operator-facing tools.
- Design, develop, and maintain runtime systems that enable reliable, low-latency operation of robotic platforms
- Ensure robustness of robotics systems across real-world deployment scenarios
- Implement and optimize robotics middleware for inter-process communication, data serialization, and message passing
- Integrate with frameworks like DDS, Zenoh, or build custom solutions as needed
- Build systems for task scheduling, resource management, and lifecycle management of robotic applications
- Enable scalable and modular execution of complex robotic behaviors
- Ensure that robotics systems meet strict latency and reliability requirements
- Optimize for resource-constrained and embedded environments
- Develop tools to monitor system health, debug failures, and analyze performance
- Design and maintain deployment workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and containerization (e.g., Docker)
- Build abstractions, APIs, and tools that enable application engineers to develop robotic behaviors efficiently
- Contribute to operator-facing tools (e.g., UI for monitoring, control, and data annotation workflows)
- Focus on developer experience and system ergonomics, ensuring that the platform scales across robots, tasks, and environments
Requirements
- Strong experience building robotics software systems and middleware
- Experience designing and building runtime systems, execution frameworks, or middleware layers
- Strong understanding of distributed systems and communication patterns in robotics
- Experience working with real-time constraints and performance-critical systems
- Strong proficiency in Python programming
- Familiarity with robotics middleware frameworks (e.g., DDS, Zenoh, ROS2)
- Experience with containerization, CI/CD, and codebase management at scale
- Ability to design clean abstractions and APIs for internal users
- Experience building tools or interfaces for operators or engineers
Nice to have
- Background in building operator tools or robotics UIs
- Experience supporting ML-driven robotic systems
