Join the team that's shaping the future of autonomous robotics and material handling. As an R&D Software Engineer at Customer, you'll develop the brains behind intelligent robotic systems, from low-level hardware control to high-level autonomy and perception.

You'll work on real robots. You'll ship real code. You'll help launch entirely new automation products into warehouses and factories across the world.

Your Mission
As a Software Engineer on our R&D team, you'll help architect and implement the software that enables our robots to think, move, and interact in the real world.

You'll have the opportunity to lead the design and implementation of software systems, while also engaging in pair programming, design processes, and code reviews that are core to our engineering culture. You'll get hands-on with real hardware and test your code on live systems.

In this role, you won't just build software. You'll help shape how our systems behave in the real world, with the support of a team that values both innovation and thoughtful execution.
