Company mission

To make robots work for people.

Role

Who you are

  • This role requires a pragmatic engineer who can navigate the unique trade-offs of each interface while balancing usability, performance, and scalability
  • You are someone who thrives in an early-stage startup environment, enjoys collaborating across teams, and can adapt quickly to evolving technical challenges
  • 2+ years of industry web development experience
  • 2+ years of experience working in javascript/typescript
  • Experience with modern web development frameworks (such as Vue or React) and best practices
  • Familiarity with cloud application deployment (such as AWS or GCP)
  • Technical Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience

Desirable

  • Desired experience (one or more):
  • Behavior trees in any format (Robotics, Game Development, etc)
  • Transport layers for robots and computer systems like ROS, GRPC, NATS
  • Python
  • SQL
  • Writing debugging tooling

What the job involves

  • As a Frontend Software Engineer at Robust AI, you will play a key role in developing and refining our robot fleet management and behavior authoring tools
  • This is a dynamic position that will involve working across multiple surfaces that internal and external users interact with, including:
  • The web-based on-robot UI
  • The authoring environment for our visual programming language, enabling behavior tree-based robot behaviors
  • Customer-facing tools for managing robot fleets
  • Develop web-technology-based interfaces for interacting with our robots at the individual and fleet levels
  • Add any APIs you need to our back-end services to fetch the data you need
  • Turn product requirements into usable interfaces
  • Collaborate with UX/Leadership to create a roadmap for future features
  • Communicate with internal teams about that roadmap and upcoming changes

Our take

Increasing complexity in supply chains and demand has meant manufacturing and logistics are incorporating more robotics and automation. These systems, however, can be cumbersome, costly, and brittle, meaning it’s difficult for them to adapt to new demand. Robust’s solution is a platform enabling rapid, no-code setup of robotic transport systems in warehouses to help transport materials and tools.

The idea is that these robots work with, not instead of, human workforces - and it’s just the first slate of applications for Robust’s deeper tech. The aim is to develop an all-purpose cognitive engine that will produce robots that can make decisions in open-ended environments.

The potential applications for a common-sense cognitive platform are sweeping, even if Robust’s beginnings are fairly modest. It’s planning to build out its own datasets and pursue strategic alliances with companies across different verticals - it’s already in conversation with iRobot for application of its AI layer in homes, for example.

With the heavy-hitting founding team of robotics veterans at the helm, Robust is making painstaking and careful progress in what is growing to be a multi-billion dollar global robotics industry. It will be interesting to see how its tech progresses.
