As a Production Software Engineer, you will play a critical role in transitioning robots from engineering to reliable, scalable manufacturing
You’ll work hands-on with systems that span electronics, firmware, middleware, and mechanical integration identifying and resolving production issues to ensure long-term reliability
Your work will directly impact the stability and repeatability of robot assembly, calibration, and testing processes
Triage and debug robot issues on the factory floor across electronics, firmware, middleware, and mechanical components
Develop and maintain software for manufacturing test, calibration, validation, and system bring-up
Design and implement robot self-test frameworks for end-of-line and end-of-day validation
Build structured diagnostics and error reporting systems to enable rapid root-cause analysis
Translate engineering prototypes into robust, production-ready processes and tools
Own and evolve test software across various robot subsystems, PCBAs, and sensors
Support bootloaders, OTA flows, versioning, and traceability in distributed robot subsystems
Collaborate with Manufacturing, Controls, and Systems teams to improve yield, reliability, and throughput
Contribute to a modern Manufacturing Software stack, including:
Factory station software and hardware abstraction layers
Integrations with MES, logging, and traceability systems
DevOps, software version control, and deployment for factory software
Operator-facing tools such as kiosk modes, health indicators, and access workflows
