Base pay range $160,000.00/yr - $200,000.00/yr Autonomous Heavy Equipment Start-Up | Founding Robotics Engineer | San Francisco | On-Site | $160-200K About the Company: Our client is an early-stage, well-funded robotics start-up on a mission to revolutionise the heavy construction sector through autonomy. Founded by experienced entrepreneurs and backed by leading investors, they retrofit large-scale civil and industrial machinery with intelligent control systems to enable fully autonomous operation. What They Build: Their platform integrates advanced perception (LiDAR, stereo vision, RTK GNSS, IMU) with tele-operation capabilities and CAN network integration. They work closely with major industry partners to pilot their systems in real-world, high-impact environments. As their first engineering hire, you’ll see your work deployed to operational sites in months. The Challenge: You’ll tackle autonomy in unstructured outdoor environments: deformable terrain, variable traction, GNSS dropouts, multi-robot coordination, and the unpredictable conditions of active worksites. This is applied robotics at its most dynamic, with the opportunity to design and own systems end-to-end. Key Responsibilities: Develop and extend robotics middleware components for low-latency tele-operation. Reverse-engineer undocumented CAN signals from heavy machinery. Contribute to both software and hardware system design. Participate in weekly field tests; iterate hardware and software rapidly based on results. Minimum Qualifications: Strong C++ and Python programming skills; proven experience with robotics middleware (e.g., ROS 2 or similar). Hands-on experience integrating sensors such as LiDAR, cameras, IMU, and RTK GNSS. Preferred Qualifications CAN bus protocol expertise and reverse-engineering experience. Background in electrical or mechanical engineering. Competitive salary in the $160-200K range (with scheduled review at 6 months or next funding). 2 – 3% equity in the company. Full health, dental, and vision coverage. $5K equipment and workstation budget. Relocation assistance and daily provided lunch. Why Join Now: First hire : Help shape architecture, culture, and core technology from the ground up. High impact : Your work will define the reference stack for an emerging industry. Fast cycle time : Deploy updates to live hardware weekly, not quarterly.
