Senior softwarový inženýr pro robotiku

Job Description

Charge Robotics is a Series A startup building robots that build solar farms.

Demand for new solar projects is booming (1 ⁄ 5 of all the solar that exists in the US was installed last year!), but today's construction companies can't keep up due to limited labor resources.

We thought this was insane, so we started working on robots to directly address this bottleneck and speed up the world's transition to renewables.

Charge is a fast-moving company, which means constant opportunities for learning and growth. You'll have a large impact on the direction of our company, and will be compensated accordingly.

We're MIT-founded and backed by top generalist and climate tech investors, including Founders Fund, Energy Impact Partners, Lux Capital and Y Combinator (S21).

If you're excited to work on interesting problems with direct climate impact, you're going to fit right in! Read more about Charge at the links below:

About this role

As a Senior Robotics Software Engineer at Charge Robotics, you'll be working full-stack and playing a direct role in deploying gigawatts of clean power generation.

What you'll be working on

• Architecting, building, documenting, testing, and iterating on software for our robotic factory installation system
• Developing perception, motion planning, and controls software that lets our robots operate reliably in unstructured field conditions.
• Contributing to low-level software powering robotic systems in our factories and delivery vehicles, with emphasis on correctness and safety
• Controlling industrial automation hardware including linear actuators, motors, and hydraulic systems

You

• Are an experienced Python developer and comfortable with at least one lower-level language like C++, with experience writing real-time, embedded, or robotics software
• Know how to instrument and develop highly performant software as a member of a team, including writing clean code, documenting it, testing it, and using version control and CI
• Have worked in a fast-paced startup environment before, and loved it
• Are excited to work with (and occasionally safely climb into) giant robots
• Have excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Are based in or can relocate to the SF Bay Area, and able to work 4-5 days/week from our San Leandro HQ
• Are open to ~10% travel to field (solar construction sites) to work directly with our product in its deployment environment
• Are excited to see your work deployed onto actual solar farms!

It'd also be nice if you

• Have experience working with industrial robot arms, motion planning, or automation systems
• Have a 4-year degree in computer science, robotics, or a related field
• Gain satisfaction from personally playing a part in mitigating climate change
