About this Robotics Software Engineer role at Picklerobot

Picklerobot · Hybrid · Charlestown, MA

About Us

At Pickle Robot, we're on a mission to automate global supply chains with Physical AI. Our robots work alongside warehouse teams to unload trucks and containers — one of the toughest, most understaffed jobs in logistics — making the work safer, faster, and more efficient for the people doing it.  Loading trucks comes next, followed by the Dill Autonomy Engine: generalized autonomy that will eventually orchestrate robots across entire logistics processes.
 
We're looking for a dynamic and driven Robotics Software Engineer to revolutionize the future of warehouse automation. You'll own the motion planning software that lets our robots navigate, plan collision-free arm and base motion, and unload trucks in real time on live loading docks.

What You'll Do

  • Own the design and development of production-quality planning software — how a robot arm and base moves through a trailer packed with boxes, bags, and whatever else got thrown in — end-to-end from prototype through debugging and tuning on real hardware at customer sites
  • Build and maintain the infrastructure to run, benchmark, and deploy planning algorithms across our fleet's varying compute platforms
  • Partner with the simulation team to build simulation CI pipelines that validate planner behavior and catch regressions before every deployment to real robots
  • Write production-grade software with Python and C++, meeting strict reliability, latency, and timing requirements for safety-critical operation
  • Collaborate with perception, hardware, firmware, and deployment teams, and mentor junior engineers while upholding engineering best practices
  • What You'll Bring

  • 2+ years of professional software engineering experience building robotics, planning and control for AMRs or Mobile Manipulator robots
  • Hands-on experience developing and deploying classical motion planning algorithms, or ML-based planning methods, for real-world robots or other safety-critical, real-time systems
  • Strong written and verbal communication; able to explain complex technical tradeoffs to cross-functional partners. Professional fluency in English
  • Proficiency in Python; experience with C++ is a bonus
  • Ownership mentality and bias for action, comfort with ambiguity and physical hardware, intellectual curiosity, and a collaborative, low-ego approach
  • Hybrid — Boston, MA area, with regular on-site work and occasional travel to customer deployment sites; full-time, with occasional schedule flexibility to support on-site deployments and testing

  • Pay at Pickle

    At Pickle Robot Company, we believe transparency builds trust. The salary range listed here is provided in accordance with Massachusetts law and reflects what we reasonably and in good faith expect to offer for this role. We often consider candidates at different levels of seniority, and final compensation will reflect the level at which a candidate is hired, along with factors like experience and location.
