Jobs in Palo Alto, CA

About the role

Dapster is looking for a Lead Robotics Software Engineer to join our small-but-powerful team. This is an impact opportunity -- we’re very much still an early-stage startup, and you will be working on our foundational technology and products.

What you'll bring

• Excellent C/C++ and Python programming skills in a Linux environment.
• Deep understanding of motion planning and navigation algorithms and libraries like MoveIt! and nav_stack.
• Familiarity with OpenCV or similar computer vision libraries.
• A strong academic and work record (e.g. BS EE/ME/Robotics with 5+ years of experience or MS EE/ME/Robotics with 3+ years of experience) or commensurate work experience
• Prototyping skills.
• Familiarity with simulation packages like IsaacSim.
• Experience as part of the development team for at least 1 full version of a shipping robot.
• Dapster is a remote-friendly, hybrid workplace.
• We maintain a development lab in Palo Alto, CA, and occasionally travel to client sites (mainly Phoenix, AZ).
• Roles requiring interaction with our physical robots likely entail more in-office work than not.
• Other roles can be structured to your preferences.
