Top Robotics Engineer Jobs in Austin, TX

Design and develop the mechanical aspects of data-center robotics including end effectors, docking, and robot-plant interfaces. Rapidly prototype, test to failure, instrument trials, and productionize hardware with DFM, reliability, and spare strategies while collaborating closely with controls and software teams.

Design and engineer robot controls for data-center robotics: motion, safety, and facility integration. Own control-stack integration (fleet management, dispatch, telemetry), design safety architecture, commission and debug systems on-site, and meet availability targets.

Build software for data-center robotics including task planning, fleet coordination, perception, navigation stacks, and integration with company systems. Ship autonomy glue combining perception, navigation, and task logic. Own operational tooling for monitoring, teleoperation fallback, and diagnostics. Integrate robotics mission and exception data into platform. Require production robotics experience, ROS or equivalent middleware, remote-failure engineering, enterprise integration, and hardware-software debugging.

Design, develop, test, and debug features for autonomous construction equipment while optimizing controls systems and maintaining code quality standards.

Lead the design, development, and deployment of autonomous systems for heavy construction equipment while mentoring engineering teams and improving system performance.

Build production-quality motion-planning and manipulation systems converting CAD/process paths into collision-free, constrained Cartesian robot trajectories. Account for kinematics, inverse kinematics continuity, collision avoidance, external axes, calibration, sensor feedback, trajectory generation, and industrial robot integration. Debug on physical robots, create simulation/verification and logging infrastructure, and work with cross-functional teams to deploy and maintain reliable manufacturing automation.

Design and deploy real-time state estimation, sensor fusion, motion/trajectory planning, and control algorithms for multi-ton robotic construction platforms. Own C++/Python and MCU firmware codebases, build simulations and HIL setups, integrate and calibrate sensors (IMU, RTK-GPS, LiDAR, cameras, encoders), and iterate through field deployment and validation.

Develop and optimize backend application logic, automation nodes, and orchestration workflows in Python. Collaborate with international teams, provide Level 3 technical support, and troubleshoot deployments on robotic hardware. Bridge software and hardware, prototype/test sensor integrations and robot arm workflows, and maintain code quality through testing, code reviews, and CI/CD.

As a Mechanical & Robotics Engineer, you'll design and produce hardware for an assistive robotic arm, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and drive product development from concept to production.
