Lead Robotics Software Engineer (San Francisco)

Lead Robotics Software Engineer

Dapster is looking for a Lead Robotics Software Engineer to join our small-but-powerful team. This is an impact opportunity we're very much still an early-stage startup, and you will be working on our foundational technology and products.

About Dapster : Dapster is focused on bringing AI-fueled robotic picking solutions to market. We recently landed a large pilot with a top retailer effectively dilution-free funding to develop our core technology.

The quick details :

What will you do? Broad ownership of development and refinement of key Dapster robot functionality (we can go into much more detail live).

What are we looking for?

• Excellent C / C++ and Python programming skills in a Linux environment.
• Deep understanding of motion planning and navigation algorithms and libraries like MoveIt! and nav_stack.
• Familiarity with OpenCV or similar computer vision libraries.
• A strong academic and work record (e.g. BS EE / ME / Robotics with 5+ years of experience or MS EE / ME / Robotics with 3+ years of experience) or commensurate work experience

Other nice-to-have's :

Dapster is a remote-friendly, hybrid workplace. We maintain a development lab in Palo Alto, CA, and occasionally travel to client sites (mainly Phoenix, AZ). Roles requiring interaction with our physical robots likely entail more in-office work than not. Other roles can be structured to your preferences.
