Description
Overview
We’re seeking a Robotics Engineer to join our NYC-based team (we are an in-person company) to build core control interfaces and on-robot software that makes our system capable and reliable. We are an early stage company moving very fast in a rapidly growing space, and welcome people from any background as long as you’re excited to join our mission, drive immediate impact, and create a future where automation is accessible to all.
Who You Are
- You’ve built and maintained robots professionally for at least 2 years
- You have experience with vision-based control stacks, and are comfortable generating motion plans based on 3D landmarks
- You consider yourself a software generalist and have worked on a variety of software systems
- You know how to deploy high-quality production code as a part of a software team
- You thrive in a high-trust, high-autonomy environment. You don’t need to be micromanaged on what the top priorities are at any given moment
- You’re hungry for impact and personal growth, and like to have fun in the pursuit
What You’ll Do
- Wholistic robot and process design for our robots and their intended applications
- Push our robots towards 100% uptime by building software improvements and hardware recovery flows
- Implement simulations that closely match our hardware
- Develop novel interfaces and feedback mechanisms for human-robot teleoperation and teleoperator-robot-ai interaction
- Go on-site with customers for installation and support when necessary. Some travel will be required (up to 1x/mo)
Bonus Points
- MechE/EE experience for designing and manufacturing robotics components including custom PCBs, engineered parts, and more.
Company
Ultra Robotics develops purpose-built robots for warehouse automation, focusing on repetitive, dangerous, and variable tasks that slow fulfillment. The initial deployment targets ecommerce order packaging, enabling end-to-end automation from pick to pack. The company emphasizes fast deployment, simple operation, and rapid return on investment, supported by a team of engineers, scientists, operators, and founders who have built factories, contributed to large-scale networks, and developed advanced systems. Ultra frames its solution as a bridge between physical work and software-like scalability, aiming to reduce manual effort and increase throughput in US-based warehouse operations.
