## Description

We're looking for a hands-on, highly technical Robotics Application Engineer to work on the software that bridges our foundation models and real-world deployment. This role sits at the intersection of software development, systems integration, and operations - requiring a blend of technical depth and creative problem-solving. You'll translate complex real-world requirements into robust, deployable robotic solutions and collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to deliver and continuously improve them., * Design, develop, and deploy software for robotic systems, including programming, configuration, and validation.

 * Integrate and deploy robotic software solutions into production environments.
 * Test, troubleshoot, and debug robotic applications - tracing failures across hardware, software, and model layers.
 * Work closely with ML and core robotics engineers to surface deployment failures, reproduce edge cases, and translate field learnings into system improvements.
 * Analyze and improve robot algorithms and system performance over time.
 * Build and maintain technical documentation, runbooks, and tooling to support configuration, monitoring, and performance evaluation.
 * Collaborate with hardware, operations, and R&D teams to optimize robotic performance and scalability.
