About RightHand Robotics
At RightHand Robotics, we build intelligent robotic piece-picking systems that operate in real warehouses, at real scale, every day. Our robots don’t live in demos or research labs, they power production fulfillment across thousands of SKUs and demanding customer environments.
We are a small, highly practical engineering team focused on shipping reliable, scalable automation that delivers measurable customer value.
If you’re excited by solving hard real-world robotics problems, working hands-on with robots, and seeing your work deployed quickly, this role is for you.
Role Overview
We are looking for a senior robotics engineer with strong applied machine learning experience to help own and evolve the intelligence behind robotic picking in production.
This is not a research role.You will build, deploy, and continuously improve perception, decision-making, and learning systems that directly affect robot performance in customer warehouses.
You’ll work across robotics, ML, and system architecture to improve:
• Pick success and reliability
• Segmentation and perception quality
• Grasp and suction selection strategies
• Placement and exception handling
• Overall system robustness in the real world
What You’ll Work On
Depending on your strengths and interests, you will contribute across areas such as:
Who We’re Looking For
We’re looking for a senior-level engineer who is either strong across robotics and ML, or very strong in one with the ability and curiosity to grow in the other.
