Robotics Software Engineer

Brahma Consulting Group, Alameda, CA, United States


We’re hiring a Robotics Software Engineer to join a fast-growing, early-stage team building real-world automation systems for manufacturing across aerospace, energy, and defense. This is a hands-on, deployment-focused role for engineers who want to see their code running on physical robots—not just in simulation.

What You’ll Do
Design, build, and deploy software for industrial robotic systems across motion planning, computer vision, and real-time control
Write production-quality Python code that is tested and deployed onto physical robots within weeks
Work across the full robotics stack, from perception and calibration to planning and system integration
Integrate vision systems (RGB/depth cameras) into real-world robotic workflows (perception → action loops)
Travel to customer sites (~2 months/year) to deploy, debug, and support robotic systems in live manufacturing environments
Build internal tools, interfaces, and workflows that enable reliable robot operation on the shop floor
Contribute to core architecture and help scale frameworks such as Drake and other robotics infrastructure
Collaborate closely with a small, high-ownership team solving critical automation challenges

What We’re Looking For
2–5 years of experience in robotics software engineering with strong Python skills
Proven experience deploying software on real-world robotic systems (not just simulation), ideally industrial arms or manipulation systems
Experience integrating vision systems with robots (calibration, perception, sensor fusion)
Hands-on experience with ROS or similar robotics middleware
Strong foundation in at least one area: motion planning, computer vision, or robot learning
Comfortable working across the full robotics stack in a generalist capacity
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Robotics, or Electrical/Mechanical Engineering
