What are the responsibilities and job description for the Robotics Engineer position at Alexander Chapman?
Hiring: Robotics Software Engineer – Architecture
San Francisco Bay Area | On-site
I'm working with a well-funded AI robotics startup that's building autonomous systems to tackle some of the most challenging real-world problems in industrial automation. Their robots are already operating in production, and they're now looking for an experienced Robotics Software Engineer to help scale the software architecture behind the platform.
You'll have the opportunity to:
• Design and build scalable robotics software architectures
• Develop high-performance, real-time systems for autonomous robots
• Improve system performance, communication, and reliability
• Integrate multi-sensor perception (LiDAR, cameras, tactile sensing, etc.)
• Build tools for profiling, visualization, and memory management
• Work across perception, planning, control, and simulation alongside a world-class engineering team
What they're looking for:
- 4 years developing production robotics software
- Strong experience with ROS2
- Background in perception, planning, control, or simulation
- Experience with Isaac Sim, Gazebo, or similar robotics simulators
- Expert-level C with Python (Rust is a plus)
- Someone who enjoys taking ownership and solving complex engineering challenges in a fast-paced startup environment
If you're passionate about building autonomous systems that leave the lab and solve real problems in the physical world, I'd love to connect.
