Robotics Software Engineer
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 12, 2026. First seen by Alion on Jul 6, 2026. Bleu Robotics scores B on the Alion truth index.
About us
Bleu Robotics is an AI company developing universal AI software for the deployment of advanced robots , humanoids, mobile manipulators, and industrial arms, in real factories. The convergence of humanoid robotics and modern AI is one of the most significant technical opportunities of the decade, and most of the work today still happens in research settings. We are building the software layer required to bring it into operational use.
We have a strong ambition to become the next Microsoft to run on every industrial humanoid. We have closed our pre-seed round with Top-tier fund to deploy our robot in Tier 1 manufacturing facilities.
We are looking for deeply passionate scientists who can help us push the frontier and build a major lab in our physical AI.
Our vision
To enable a robot to learn a new industrial task from a few demonstrations and operate autonomously, with under one hour between the start of the demonstration and the start of deployment.
This objective shapes our roadmap and every technical decision we make.
The role
We are hiring Robotics Software Engineers focused on integration to join the engineering team that owns our end-to-end AI stack. Your work will ensure that perception, learning, orchestration, and robot interfaces function as one coherent system on real hardware, across a diverse set of robotic platforms.
The role is based in Paris, with occasional on-site work at customer facilities - typically one concentrated week per month for deployment, commissioning, and production debugging.
Background
We are equally interested in two kinds of background:
robotics engineer with experience in deploying robots in real factories or developing robots for real factories (e.g., worked for a robot manufacturer or for a startup that deployed their robot in factories).
robotics engineer with experience in academic or industrial labs, working on deploying and integrating machine learning models on real robots.
Experience with humanoid robots is appreciated but not required.
Responsibilities
Design and maintain the ROS 2 architecture that connects our AI stack: nodes, services, lifecycles, launch configurations
Implement controllers for a diverse set of robotic platforms - humanoids, mobile manipulators, arms - bridging our stack to each platform’s interfaces
Containerize and deploy the full stack using Docker, including on embedded and edge targets
Bring up new robot platforms: integrate vendor SDKs, validate behavior, ensure reliable operation
Build and maintain test infrastructure and validation pipelines for system-level integration
Debug across hardware, firmware, and software boundaries - the issues that only appear when everything runs together
Deploy and commission software on-site at customer facilities
Reduce the time from demonstration to deployment by eliminating manual steps and integration friction
Own end-to-end system reliability: logging, observability, reproducibility, and tooling for extended autonomous operation
The team
The engineering team is organized around three focus areas with multiple engineers each: Integration (this role), Vision & Perception, and Robot Learning. Early hires will help shape engineering practices, hiring, and culture.
Required qualifications
Master’s degree in robotics, or equivalent hands-on experience with physical robots. PhD with hand-on experience are also welcomed.
Strong working knowledge of ROS 2
Proficiency with Docker in robotics contexts
Strong Python development skills
Hands-on experience deploying software on physical robotic systems
Hands-on experience debugging across hardware, firmware, and software boundaries
Comfortable working in Linux environments with Git and CI/CD tooling
Professional proficiency in English (internal working language)
Professional proficiency in French (required for customer deployments)
Availability to travel ~1 week per month, primarily within France
Preferred qualifications
The strongest candidates will combine hands-on robotics fluency with experience across several of the following:
Humanoid robots
Multiple robotic platforms (arms, mobile bases, etc.)
Real-time systems in a robotics context
Industrial or manufacturing environments
C++ in performance-sensitive contexts
Integration of vendor SDKs and bringing up new platforms
A leading robotics research lab (academic or industrial)
Robotics competitions (RoboCup, Eurobot, etc.)
What we offer
A clear, ambitious research mission with measurable real-world impact
A diverse fleet of advanced robots, including humanoids, on which to run your research
Research that ships: your algorithms run on real machines in real factories
Tight collaboration with engineering teams that take your work to production
Significant ownership of the research agenda as an early member of the team
A focused, technically strong team and a serious engineering culture
English-speaking working environment, no French required
Fair compensation + equity
