Robotics Application Engineer

The role

You will act as a bridge between the R&D lab and construction sites to ensure autonomous excavators perform. You will run data evaluations, debug complex issues across the stack, and collaborate with customers and engineering teams.

What you will do

• Run evaluations on site data to predict autonomous performance and validate release readiness
• Debug complex issues across the entire stack including hydraulic sensors, compute hardware, and high-level behavior
• Employ technical knowledge to debug onboard and offboard code
• Collaborate with Partnerships to identify new customer sites aligning with the product roadmap
• Provide technical feedback to the engineering team to influence next generation systems
• Lead discussions on site progression with customers
• Explain system integration and performance maximization to customers

Required qualifications

• B.S. or M.S. in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field
• 3+ years of professional experience in a technical role focused on keeping critical onboard and off-board systems operating smoothly
• Proficiency in Python, Rust, C++, etc, Linux
• Experience with version control and deploying code in live environments
• Strong understanding of robotics stacks including sensor fusion (LiDAR, GNSS, IMU), computer vision, motion planning, controls, and embedded systems
• Ability to troubleshoot electrical systems, CAN bus communication, and interact with industry debug tools
• Experience with data visualization and analytical tools
• Ability to travel up to 40% of the time

Nice to have

• Hands-on experience with deployed robotics
