Weโ€™re looking for a Robotics Engineer who can bring machines to lifeโ€”designing precise, real-time motion systems and building the algorithms that make our robot move with intention, fluidity, and reliability.


The Team

  • Overlay engineers work closely with the founders to influence product direction, company roadmap, and business outcomes
  • We enjoy shipping features, moving fast, and being scrappy
  • We are receptive to feedback and continuously work on improving both our product and our craft
  • We work out of our Oakland office together


What Youโ€™ll Do

  • Design and implement real-time motion control and trajectory systems
  • Develop and tune robotic behaviors for consistent, precise output
  • Collaborate closely with computer vision and mechanical teams to integrate perception, motion, and actuation
  • Create and iterate on algorithms for smooth, stable motion in response to dynamic inputs
  • Validate system performance in physical tests and real-world usage
  • Help define the core robotics architecture and contribute to product-level decisions
  • Embody our company values of ownership, velocity and craft


What Weโ€™re Looking For

  • 5+ years of experience in robotics, controls, or automation systems
  • Proficiency in motion planning, kinematics, or real-time control logic
  • Hands-on experience with physical robots, actuators, or gantry systems
  • Strong coding skills in C++, Python, or similar languages
  • Comfort working across hardware and software boundaries
  • You can take a concept from idea to prototype in a fast-paced environment
  • You move with velocity and invest in improving your craft
  • You are energized by collaborating in-office with your peers


Bonus Points

  • Experience with motion systems for consumer products, 3D printers, or CNC machines
  • Familiarity with safety systems, braking, tuning, or low-latency motion control
  • Background in integrating perception with reactive motion
  • Interest in systems that combine technology, aesthetics, and creative output
  • Experience working with contract manufacturers


Benefits

  • Highly competitive salary & generous early-stage equity
  • Best-in-class medical, dental & vision insurance
  • 401(k) matching program
  • Supportive Flexible Time Off program, plus 10 paid holidays
  • Commuter benefits for transit or parking
  • Located in downtown Oakland, next door to a BART station


Compensation: The annual salary range for this position is $175,000โ€“$250,000 annually based on level in addition to equity & benefits.
