Job Description

Introduction & Engagement Summary

This Statement of Work outlines the terms and expectations for recruiting services related to the placement of a Robotics Research Engineer (RCC-11) based in Palo Alto, California.

The ideal candidate demonstrates strong programming ability (often in Python and/or C++), experience applying machine learning or advanced algorithms to robotics challenges, and hands-on exposure to hardware, embedded systems, or electromechanical integration. Beyond technical depth, successful Robotics Research Engineers exhibit independent problem-solving skills, cross-disciplinary thinking, and a track record of building and iterating on complex systems.

This role is particularly well-suited for individuals who thrive in research-driven environments but are equally comfortable deploying solutions in production settings. Candidates should show evidence of self-directed projects, experimentation, and a builder mindset, with the ability to operate across the robotics stack — from perception and planning to controls and physical system integration.
