Senior Robotics Platform Engineer

Responsibilities: Design and own the end-to-end provisioning pipeline: from bare-metal OS imaging through hardware configuration, software installation, calibration, and pre-shipment validation.

Own provisioning for all robot hardware peripherals: depth cameras, LiDAR and GPS sensors, motor drivers, networking, and other embedded subsystems.

Develop end-of-line (EOL) test frameworks and reporting infrastructure, including pass/fail logging, failure diagnostics, and traceability per unit.

Collaborate with manufacturing to ensure provisioning tooling is robust, repeatable, and operator-friendly.

Support our growing fleet of robots working in real-world environments by developing tooling and runbooks to diagnose, repair, and re-provision units in the field with minimal downtime.

Work with R&D to commercialize and deploy new hardware and features reliability in production

Build monitoring and logging infrastructure for the provisioning pipeline and runtime environments, to be integrated with dashboards and alerting for fleet-level health.

Document all systems, processes, and runbooks

Requirements: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field required. We strongly weigh practical, demonstrable experience over academic credentials; candidates with equivalent industry experience building and shipping hardware systems at scale are encouraged to apply.

5+ years of hands-on experience designing and operating infrastructure for hardware at scale: robotics, autonomous vehicles, medical devices, industrial IoT, or equivalent.

Demonstrated experience building provisioning or imaging pipelines for large numbers of physical devices (hundreds to thousands of units).

Strong Linux systems administration: kernel configuration, systemd, networking, storage, package management, hardware interfaces.

Proficiency with containerization: Docker and/or Podman, container runtime configuration, and image management at the OS level.

Scripting and automation fluency in Bash and Python.

Experience building or operating end-of-line or hardware acceptance test systems.

Ability to work effectively across engineering, manufacturing, and support, and communicate clearly in each context.

Nice-To-Haves: Experience with A/B or partition-based update systems and rollback strategies on embedded or edge Linux devices.

Experience with configuration management tools such as Ansible for device fleet configuration and runbook automation in an embedded/edge context.

Experience with Balena or similar container-based embedded fleet management and delta update systems.

Familiarity with ROS, CAN bus, motor controllers, or other robotics-adjacent hardware and software interfaces.

Familiarity with custom Linux images, RT kernel configuration, latency tuning, or other hardened/minimal Linux distributions for embedded deployment and understanding of the tradeoffs involved.
