## Description

Nimble is looking for a Robotics Software Engineer to build the core software powering our next-generation autonomous robots. In this role, you will develop the systems that allow our robots to operate with exceptional reliability, precision, and efficiency in real production environments.

You will work across robot control, sensing, runtime execution, and backend services-building robust, production-grade software that scales as we deploy more robots into high-throughput warehouse operations. You'll collaborate closely with our AI, hardware, and infrastructure teams to integrate frontier AI capabilities into practical, real-world robotics systems and to continually improve robot uptime, performance, and overall intelligence.

This is a rare opportunity to help define the software foundation of industry-leading intelligent robots and contribute to the long-term vision of generalized robotic autonomy at scale., * Design and implement core robotic software for real-time control, manipulation, sensing pipelines, and high-reliability task execution.

 * Build tools and workflows for sensor data processing, visualization, validation, and debugging across development and production environments.
 * Create automated evaluation, and remote operations.
 * Work closely with AI research teams to integrate new frontier AI models into production robot behaviors, ensuring predictable and safe performance.
 * Collaborate with hardware engineering on seamless software-hardware integration for new robot platforms and upgrades.
 * Contribute hands-on to testing, profiling, and optimizing our systems for robustness, low latency, and operational uptime.
