Our systems support pallet retrieval, case picking, each picking, and rack automation in active, high-throughput warehouse environments. We are now advancing our platform toward the next generation of AI-driven robotics, combining autonomous systems, perception, simulation, and scalable software to create smarter, more adaptive warehouse operations.\nPosition\nWe are seeking a Senior Robotics Engineer to help architect and develop the next generation of Prime Robotics’ autonomous systems. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on building production-grade robotics software and integrating advanced robotics technologies that drive state of the art perception, navigation, and distributed systems. You will work across software, hardware, and field deployment challenges to deliver intelligent, scalable, and reliable robotic solutions for real-world warehouse environments.\nPlease note that this role is on-site and this individual will split their time between our lab in Downtown Denver and our Corporate HQ in Lakewood, CO.\nWhat You’ll Do\nArchitect and develop robotics software in ROS/ROS2 for autonomous mobile robots, from motion and perception through orchestration and fleet behavior. \nBuild and optimize systems involving SLAM navigation, sensor fusion, path & motion planning, and multi-robot coordination. \nLead development in advancing our robotics capabilities to include AI and machine learning for safety and throughput optimizations \nTroubleshoot complex field and lab issues across hardware/software boundaries, driving root cause analysis and long-term fixes. \nCollaborate with cross-functional teams in the US and China to improve robotic system performance, reliability, and maintainability. \nSupport customer implementations, deployment readiness, and technical validation efforts that shape future product direction and sustain high value customer requirements. \nRequirements\nRequired Skills & Experience\n8+ years of experience in robotics, autonomous systems, or related fields, with a proven track record of shipping real products. \nStrong expertise in C++ and Python, with experience building performance-critical, production-quality systems. \nDeep understanding of ROS/ROS2, real-time robotics systems, SLAM, navigation, path planning, and control. \nExperience with perception systems, sensor integration, computer vision, and AI/ML-enabled robotics workflows. \nStrong Linux and Docker experience, with familiarity in distributed systems, embedded systems, or edge compute environments. \nHands-on experience debugging and integrating robotic hardware, software, and field-deployed systems. \nBachelor’s degree in Robotics, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field; advanced degree preferred. \nBonus Qualifications\nExperience with NVIDIA Jetson, Isaac SDK, Isaac Sim, Omniverse, CUDA, or GPU-accelerated robotics workloads. \nExperience with Java/Spring Boot programming and development. \nBackground in warehouse automation, AMRs, material handling, or industrial robotics. \nExperience with gRPC, Protobuf, or distributed messaging frameworks. \nFamiliarity with robot hardware such as mobility bases, arms, grippers, safety systems, and embedded electronics. \nExperience working across international engineering teams and influencing technical direction without direct authority. \nWhat We’re Looking For\nA strong systems thinker who can balance architecture, performance, and practical execution. \nA hands-on engineer who can move fluidly between design, coding, debugging, and deployment support. \nSomeone who values clean, scalable software but stays grounded in real robot behavior and operational constraints. \nA problem solver who takes ownership, drives clarity, and pushes through ambiguity. \nAn engineer who is excited about advancing warehouse robotics with AI, autonomy, and robust software foundations. \nThe expected minimum base salary for this role is $150,000 annually, informed by external market data. Actual offers will depend on factors such as the candidate’s experience, education, training, key or critical skills, and current market and business conditions.\nBenefits\nEmployer-subsidized medical, dental, and vision insurance plans to support your health and wellbeing. \nDedicated vacation and sick leave that allows you to recharge and take care of yourself when needed. \nInvaluable hands-on experience with cutting-edge robotics technology that keeps your skills at the industry forefront. \nA collaborative culture where innovation thrives, and your work has a real impact. \nThe excitement of contributing to transformative technology in a fast-growing industry. \nOur hiring process may incorporate AI-assisted tools to support activities such as application review, resume screening, and response evaluation. These tools are used to assist our recruitment team and do not make hiring decisions independently. All final decisions are made by a human reviewer.
