Senior Robotics Software Developer

We're building physical AI for housing- and unlike most of the field, our robots are already in production, fabricating real structures and generating real operational data every day across multiple factories.

We’re looking for a Senior Robotics Software Developer to join our team and contribute to developing cutting-edge solutions for our core robotic manufacturing technologies. This is a senior IC role with architectural ownership and mentorship responsibility.

Why join us?

• Purpose-Driven Work:Contribute to projects with significant social, economic, and environmental impact.

• Growth Opportunities:Be part of a growth-stage startup with substantial upside and leadership potential.

• Cutting-Edge Technology:Work on state-of-the-art robotics solutions at the intersection of construction and automation.

• Collaborative Culture:Join a diverse, high-performing team committed to continuous learning and innovation.

What you'll do:

• Lead the development of robotic simulators - set up and extend simulation environments and test scenarios that mirror our production cells.

• Lead the effort in motion planning and optimization- develop and optimize motion-planning and collision-checking behaviors in ROS 2 / MoveIt2.

• Develop perception components- implement object detection, pose estimation, and point-cloud processing tasks for material handling and inspection.

• Write clean, tested code- produce well-documented C++ and Python, backed by unit and integration tests.

• Debug integration issues- help troubleshoot software-hardware issues alongside the robotics and hardware teams.

• Set the engineering bar - define standards for architecture, testing, and code quality; lead code reviews; mentor junior and mid-level developers.

What you'll need to succeed:

• Degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Mechatronics, or related fields (Masters/Ph.D. preferred) plus 5+ yearsof relevant robotics software experience.

• Expert-level C++ and Python, with a track record of shipping production-quality robotics software.

• Strong fundamentals in algorithms, data structures, and basic control concepts.

• Deep ROS 2 and MoveIt2 experience - motion planning, collision checking, and trajectory optimization (e.g., OMPL, CHOMP/STOMP/TrajOpt-style approaches).

• Ability to solve complex problems involving multi-disciplinary engineering concepts.

• Strong hands-on experience with a robotics simulator(Gazebo, Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, or similar) including physics simulation.

• Exposure to computer vision or perception concepts.

• Eagerness to learn, take feedback, and work both independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced startup.

• Willingness to work onsite at our R&D labs and production facilities in Edmonton and Calgary, Alberta.

Preferred Skills:

• Experiential knowledge using Isaac Sim/ Omniverse or similar simulation tools.

• Applied or research experience with vision-language-action (VLA) models(e.g., OpenVLA, π0, RT-2-style) or LLM-based task and motion planning.

• Industrial robot programming (KUKA, ABB, or Fanuc) and familiarity with vendor sensor/communication interfaces.

• Sensor systems: industrial cameras, depth sensors, LiDAR, force/torque sensors, laser range finders/projectors.

• Digital-twin technologies for validation and predictive maintenance.

• Machine learning / deep learning applied to robotics.

• Working knowledge of CSA Z434and ISO 10218-2safety standards for industrial robot systems and cell integration.

• Experience in a fast-paced startup or scaling deep-tech environment.
