Lightberry

Lightberry makes robots emotionally intelligent so they can perceive people, communicate naturally, and adapt through interaction. Its software combines AI-driven computer vision, speech recognition and synthesis, and emotion/affect models to enable robots to see, listen, speak, recognize users, and learn from interactions. The product ships preinstalled on robots with no coding required and is distributed under software licensing and subscription terms, positioning it as robotics software (B2B SaaS) for manufacturers and service-robot providers. Lightberry targets businesses deploying autonomous or service robots across industries that need richer human-robot interaction capabilities.

Humanoid robots doing backflips are super cool, but to be useful they need to be able to listen, communicate, and operate in the world. Your role in our organization would be to help make that a reality by developing autonomy for humanoid robots and working to advise manufacturers on their next generation of hardware.

What You'll Do

Work hands-on with robots that cost more than most cars
Iterate on software deployed to customer's robots in the real world
Advise humanoid robot manufacturers about sensor placement, hardware interfaces, and operational design
Work on camera-based 3D perception: detection, tracking, gesture and body language understanding, and speaker identification
Improve locomotion for walking safely in public environments
Team up with animators to make the robot's movement, body language, and gestures more fluid and natural

What we’re looking for

Robotics experience (self-driving cars, drones, humanoids, off-road robotics, or similar)
Experience shipping products into the real world
Strong C++ or Rust experience
Comfortable working with and debugging hardware
Excited to take high ownership of product features

Technology

We deploy on humanoid robots, for example Unitree G1s upfit with custom hardware.
Our onboard code is written in C++20 and our offboard code is primarily Python 3.14.
