Forward Deployed Engineer – Robotics
📌Seattle, United States 🇺🇸
⏱︎ full-time
🧙♂️ senior
💰 150000
At Roboto, we’re building the software infrastructure for the golden age of robotics — a platform that can ingest, search, and analyze the vast amounts of data produced by robots. From cameras and lidars to batteries and motors, Roboto makes multimodal data easy to manage and quick to analyze with AI.
Our team brings experience from Amazon Robotics, AWS, Google, Cruise, and the Allen Institute for AI, and we’re fortunate to be backed by leading investors. Together, we’re working to make a generational impact on how robots are built, helping companies to deploy safer, smarter, and more capable systems.
🚀 About The Role
As a Forward Deployed Engineer , you'll work directly with some of the world's leading robotics teams to help them get the most out of Roboto. This is a deeply technical and high-impact role at the heart of our customer interactions.
You'll gain a unique vantage point across the robotics industry: one week supporting a drone company to implement fleet-wide anomaly detection, the next accelerating data curation for a robotic foundation model.
You’ll develop a deep understanding of our customer workflows, helping them implement solutions, and translating insights into continuous product improvements. You’ll also create new resources like technical blog posts and walkthroughs to introduce customers to our latest features.
🔍 We’re looking for someone who:
- Has deep technical expertise: 5+ years of experience in robotics, software engineering, or data engineering, ideally with high-stakes systems or autonomy stacks.
- Communicates clearly: You listen carefully and express technical ideas with confidence and empathy, whether in writing or conversation, to diverse stakeholders.
- Thinks in systems: You can see the big picture while diving into the details, connecting software, hardware, and operational workflows.
- Thrives in dynamic environments: You enjoy variety, can pivot between multiple projects, and solve novel problems with creativity and rigor.
- Is customer-obsessed: You love delighting customers by solving their problems, removing roadblocks, and helping them to succeed.
-
Is willing to travel: You're ready to visit customer sites to support deployments, collaborate with engineering teams, and gain first-hand insights into their workflows.
- Customer interaction: Experience as a consultant, technical program manager or customer success lead, comfortable guiding teams and ensuring solutions deliver real results.
- Robotics systems & data: Proficiency with ROS/ROS2, PX4, Isaac SDK/Sim, lidar/camera data, autonomy pipelines, motion planning, or other robotics frameworks.
- Data engineering & analysis: Expertise in SQL, Embeddings, Vector Databases, Python, Pandas, Jupyter, Spark, or similar tools for handling large datasets.
- Software deployment & automation: Familiarity with CI/CD, cloud pipelines, and containerization.
-
AI & developer tools: Experience building AI pipelines, robotics applications, or open-source developer tools.
🤖 Why join
Robotics is on the cusp of explosive growth. Marc Andreessen (a16z) calls it the biggest industry in the history of the planet and Jensen Huang (NVIDIA) projects humanoid robots will drive a $50 trillion market alone.
What’s still missing are the tools to make that growth possible. Robotics teams lack the data infrastructure and AI systems needed to build, scale, and operate their machines.
At Roboto, we believe we’re the right team, at the right time, to create the category-defining platform for the robotics era. Join us, and help shape the future of robotics!
The listed salary range is wide to cover candidates with broad experience (5–15+ years). Your actual base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis, taking into account relevant skills, education, and experience. Eligible employees will also receive equity grants in the form of stock options, giving you the opportunity to share in the company’s long-term success.
Roboto is an equal opportunity employer, and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin.
Senior Embedded Software Engineer
@ Embedd 
What we're looking for
At embedd.it, we power hardware-software integration in embedded devices. We turn fragmented semiconductor chip data into configurable digital twins, then deterministically generate code, tests, and documentation – making integration faster, cheaper, and resilient to supply chain shocks.
We’re looking for a true legend – someone with abstract thinking and deep expertise in low-level software development. You’ll build vendor-agnostic tooling for MCU and peripheral integration to solve hardware-software integration once and for all. We work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generation, compilers, and machine learning. It’s your chance to help redefine how low-level development is done.
Responsibilities
- Drive the architecture of the driver structures and system layout
- Define scalable patterns for cross-architectural integration across bare-metal, Zephyr, Linux, and other environments
- Deconstruct complex SoC device trees and translate hardware descriptions into structured internal models for automated reasoning
- Partner with the ML team to shape data and annotation models for AI-driven data-extraction tooling
Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in embedded systems development, including bare-metal and RTOS-based systems
- Proficiency in C/C++
- Familiarity with firmware configuration, SoC bring-up, and system-level debugging
- Hands-on experience with code generation tools, or low-level compiler/decompiler/emulator technologies
- Strong background in embedded toolchains: compilers, linkers, debuggers, and build systems
- Python or scripting for automation and tooling is a plus
- Experience with functional-safety standards is a plus
Why embedd.it?
- Dynamic, venture-backed team of engineers challenging the status quo 🚀
- Work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generators, compilers, and ML 🤖
- Unusual challenges requiring out-of-the-box abstract thinking 🧠
- Competitive compensation: cash + equity 💰
- Remote work possible 🌍
About Us
embedd.it is a UK-based startup reinventing embedded development. Our platform transforms unstructured semiconductor data into structured digital twins, enabling automatic generation of drivers, tests, and documentation. We're building a single, traceable source of truth to make integration fast, vendor-agnostic, and future-proof.
