Robotics Software Engineer

About this role

THE ROLE

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.

RESPONSIBILITIES

- 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

QUALIFICATIONS

- 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
