Role
Who you are
- Excitement about making a real-world impact for people in the warehouse, putting product function first
- A bias toward action: you prioritize rapid development and testing versus incubating an idea until it’s “ready”
- Eagerness to act as a generalist and solve a diverse set of challenging problems that amplify human potential with state-of-the-art robotics
- Enthusiasm for owning all phases of the development process from design to implementation to testing to improvements
- A desire for career growth and ownership of your work
- Proficiency with Python, Linux, and Docker
- Experience with C++ or Rust
- A strong understanding of software engineering development practices (git, CI/CD), finite state machines, multiprocessing/multithreading, and socket programming
- Experience with fundamentals of the robotics software stack, including kinematics and rigid transformations / 3D geometry
- Familiarity with project management and acting as tech lead on projects involving one or more other members
- A BS in a related field with four years of experience in commercial robotics software development OR an MS/PhD in a related field with two years of experience in commercial robotics software development
- (BONUS) Experience in advanced robotics software topics such as controls or motion planning
- (BONUS) Experience with APIs, advanced networking, and application software architecture (e.g. Model-View-Controller)
- (BONUS) Familiarity with computer vision, grasp planning, collision checking, and/or machine learning
- Ambi Robotics will comply with federal and state mandates regarding COVID-19 vaccinations. We will require employees coming on-site to be vaccinated or in compliance with weekly testing requirements
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Robotics Software Engineer to develop core robotics libraries and advanced runtime application software for Ambi products
- In this role, you will rapidly develop, test, and deploy software across the robotics software engineering stack for core product functionality to improve warehouse operations
- You will work closely with the Software team and the CTO
Our take
The logistics and supply chain industry faces a serious challenge - volumes and varieties of goods to be picked and shipped are continuously increasing, but a staffing shortage means the workforce isn't available to accomplish this. Ambi is one of a number of companies aiming to find a solution, producing AI-powered robots to automate and accelerate logistics and fulfillment processes.
Utilizing the latest advances in robotics and machine learning, Ambi's robots work in tandem with human operators and are trained to handle both rigid and deformable (and therefore fragile or easy-to-drop) items, increasing the throughput per employee to over 1,200 items per hour on average. Ambi is competing with numerous other startups in this space, such as Covariant, Pickle and XYZ Robotics, but the addressable market is huge and untapped, with an estimated size of $30 Billion in 2023.
Having built up a customer base that includes the likes of Pitney Bowes and OSM Worldwide, Ambi has also secured a large amount of funding over several investment rounds. This is being used to continue deploying Ambi's robots and expanding its product range. With a growing demand for its technology, Ambi is well poised for future success.
