Robotics Engineer - Next-Gen Systems

Apptronik is building robots for the real world to improve human quality of life and to help solve the ever-increasing labor shortage problem. Our team has been building some of the most advanced robots on the planet for years, dating back to the DARPA Robotics Challenge. We apply our expertise across the full robotics stack to some of the most important and impactful problems our society faces, and expect our products and technology to change the world for the better.  We value passion, creativity, and collaboration to help us overcome existing technological barriers in the industry to create truly innovative products. 

We seek a Robotics Engineer – Next-Gen Systems to provide multidisciplinary support for the development of robots from prototype to product. You will perform conceptual hardware/software design, technical analysis, research, and physics-based simulation of next-gen robotic systems. You will perform engineering trade studies to inform system architectural decisions. You are expected to be a technical “Swiss Army Knife” in the engineering fields needed to develop robots, including mechanical, electrical, controls, and software disciplines.
