Job description

About Standard Bots

Standard Bot's mission is to significantly lower the barrier to entry to real-world automation, bringing the power of bits to the world of atoms and unlocking productivity for entire new industries and users. We specialize in developing intuitive solutions for robotic arm manipulation and control, making advanced motion planning accessible to a broader range of industries.

Our user facing applications and APIs directly empower individuals and developers to jump directly into solving their challenges through sophisticated yet approachable robotic arm control systems. A relentless focus on simplicity and ease of use brings this revolutionary potential to new users and industries.

What you'll do

We're looking for seasoned and skilled technical leaders to help architect the future of robotics through best in class, modern software engineering practices. As a Senior Software Engineer on our motion planning team, you will work with other engineers, organizational leaders, and users to advance our robotic arm control systems and unlock entirely new potential for our users.

Responsibilities:

Implement core functionality surrounding our motion planning service
Identify, scope, and drive high impact technical projects in robotic manipulation
Advise leadership on technical decisions and strategy in robotics
Mentor and advise other engineers on best practices and motion planning concepts

Tech Stack:

Stack: Node.js, Python, C++
Motion Planning: ROS2, MoveIt2
Infrastructure: Docker, Github Actions

Who you are

We're looking for engineers who are self-driven, optimistic, creative, and resourceful who are interested in working deep in a robotics stack. We do not require motion planning experience, but algorithmically focused experience are highly desired.

Skills you'll bring:

Full stack experience: You will be covered all parts of driving a project to completion, both frontend and backend work
Experience: You have a strong technical background, including 3+ years working with robotic systems and complex software environments
Growth + Optimism: You are excited by challenging robotics problems and eager to make sophisticated motion planning accessible to non-experts
Clarity of Communication: You excel in written and verbal communication and can effectively explain complex robotics concepts to diverse audiences
Impact Driven: You relentlessly seek user impact and value practical solutions over technical idealism
Proactive Simplicity: You prioritize simplicity, reliability, and velocity in robotics applications and proactively identify opportunities to improve motion planning systems
Excelling in Ambitious Environments: You excel in dynamic and ambitious environments, working with a diverse group of individuals and backgrounds

Nice-to-haves:

Algorithmic focused experience: Many of our project require diving into deeper into the motion planning algorithm stack, so an algorithmic focused background is preferred
ROS/Moveit2 Experience: We prefer someone with ROS experience to quickly get up to speed with our motion planning stack
