What We’re Building Towards

At Omegga, we’re on a mission to reinvent how AI and spectroscopy can drive positive change for animals, people and the planet. We started with a clear objective: eliminate chick culling on a global scale through early, non-invasive detection. This outdated practice still impacts billions of lives, and we’re here to change that. We’re not building for the niche, we’re building for the global standard.

Today, our systems are already in use, and the focus is on scaling performance, robustness, and deployment across an international customer base. For us, scaling means more than growth. It means changing an industry for the better.

We are looking for people who take ownership, think in systems, and want to help turn a working product into the industry benchmark. If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a hands-on engineer to take full ownership of new robotic subsystems from first idea to production-ready hardware. You combine strong mechanical design skills with practical lab experience and a keen sense for manufacturability. Above all, you’re someone who doesn’t wait to be told what’s next. You see what needs to happen, take initiative, and enjoy working openly in a fast-moving, international team that’s growing together.

You take ownership end to end, hold yourself to a high standard, and focus on outcomes that matter for the customer. You communicate openly, give honest feedback, and build trust through your actions. You believe the best work happens in an environment where people support each other, share knowledge, and grow together.

What You’ll Build

• Own the full development cycle of robotic subsystems, from concept through rapid prototyping, iterative improvement, and deployment

• Design complex mechanical systems and integrate mechanical and electrical components into functional robotics solutions

• Build and test prototypes hands-on, including assembly, troubleshooting, and iterative validation

• Collaborate with the electronics and software team on system integration and performance

• Optimize designs for manufacturability and assembly to enable scalable production

• Manage outsourcing partners and suppliers to transition prototypes into production-ready systems

What You Bring

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, or related field

• 3+ years experience in automation/robotics, with strong track record designing complex electromechanical systems, from prototype to production

• Hands-on mindset with a passion for building, testing, and troubleshooting real-world systems and solid CAD skills (e.g. SolidWorks, Onshape, Fusion)

• Proven experience of optimizing designs in compact electromechanical systems, environmental sealing, and design for manufacturing

• Experience with manufacturing, supplier collaboration, and design for scalable production

• A proactive, ownership-driven mindset. You naturally identify what needs to happen next, collaborate openly in an international team, and are eager to grow alongside it

Not ticking every box? That’s okay. If this role excites you and you bring most of what we’ve described, we want to hear from you.

What You’ll Get

Mission & Technical Challenge: At Omegga, you work on problems that are both technically demanding and globally relevant. We build deep-tech solutions with real-world impact, pushing the boundaries of what’s currently possible.

Relocation Support: Moving to Munich? We help you find an apartment in the Werksviertel within walking distance of the office. We connect you with the right contacts and take the stress out of apartment hunting.

Work Environment: Located in Munich’s Werksviertel, we combine a focused, high-performance culture with flexibility. Up to 50% remote work, depending on role and execution needs.

Ownership: VSOPs (Virtual Stock Options) so you share in the value you help create.

Time Off: 28 vacation days per year, plus December 24th and 31st off.

Benefits & Growth

• Monthly meal budget for whatever keeps you going, from quick lunches to proper team dinners

• Monthly perks budget to spend where it actually matters to you — fitness, mobility, or the occasional “I earned this” purchase

• Annual learning budget to invest in your growth, from conferences to deep dives into new domains

• Free drinks, coffee, and snacks in the office to keep you focused throughout the day

Head of Engineering (robotics, controls, hardware) at Arculus Solutions, Alexandria VA, on-site

Arculus adapts yesterday’s pipelines to transport tomorrow’s energy.

Our SputteredPipe™ technology is an ultra-thin Al/Al₂O₃ multilayer coating, developed at MIT, applied to the internal surface of oil and gas pipelines. It lowers friction (lower OpEx, higher throughput), prevents corrosion, and makes pipe suitable for CO₂ transport and hydrogen blending. We apply it two ways: we coat new 40-ft pipe joints ourselves, in-house, and the autonomous SputterPig™ coats existing pipelines in place, with no excavation.

We are a small team in Alexandria, Virginia. We need an engineer who has built hardware that works outside the lab and wants to own the engineering of the company.

The role

You will lead the design, build, test and field deployment of the machines that apply our coating: an autonomous robot that travels inside live pipelines, and a coating system for new pipe. You will own the technical roadmap, set the architecture, and build the engineering team around you. This is the senior engineering seat of the company, and it can grow into Chief Technology Officer as we grow.

You will:

• Decide the mechanical, electrical, controls and software architecture of our machines, and build the first working versions yourself.
• Take prototypes from the bench to pilot runs in the field, and fix what breaks.
• Work with pipeline operators, research partners and testing labs, and represent the engineering side in technical meetings.
• Hire and lead the next engineers.

You must have

• At least 5 years of hands-on engineering: you have built electromechanical or robotic systems yourself, and at least one of them ran outside a lab.
• Depth in at least two of: mechatronics, controls and estimation, embedded systems, mechanical design for harsh environments, vacuum or thin-film process equipment.
• Experience taking a prototype to a deployed product or a field trial.
• Willingness to travel for work, often at short notice, including to field sites and test facilities (about 30-40% of the time).
• Willingness to work long, irregular hours when a test campaign or deployment demands it. This is a startup, and the schedule follows the work. We say so up front.
• Work onsite in Alexandria, Virginia, with travel.

Strong plus

• Pipeline, in-line inspection (pigging), or confined-space robotics.
• Sputtering, PVD, or other vacuum coating hardware.
• Experience leading a small technical team.
• Safety-critical or hazardous-area (explosive atmosphere) design experience.

What we offer

• A real technical leadership role with direct access to the CEO and the science behind the technology.
• Base salary of $120,000 to $150,000, depending on experience, plus equity of 0.3% to 0.5% of the fully diluted company, vesting over four years.
• Visa sponsorship is available.
• The chance to build the machines that retrofit the pipeline network for CO₂ and hydrogen.

How to apply

Email careers@arculus-solutions.com with your CV and a short note (a few lines) describing the hardest machine you have built and what broke first. Subject: “Head of Engineering application - your name”. We reply within 3 business days.

Founding Robotics Engineer - Subsea/Autonomy

Hi all,

I’m Nick, and we’re building autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). We have vehicles in the water and we’re scaling up to multi-vehicle ops with some fun engineering challenges, so we’re looking for a founding robotics engineer to own autonomy end to end.

What you’d work on:

• Navigation and state estimation without GPS (DVL/INS, acoustics)
• A ROS 2 autonomy stack
• ArduSub/Pixhawk today, moving to a custom flight controller
• Multi-vehicle coordination
• Sim-to-field testing, so getting wet is part of the job
• Wearing lots of hats, startup style

You’d enjoy this if you’ve shipped robotics software on real hardware outdoors, and you’re happy going from a Kalman filter to a leaking connector in one afternoon. Underwater experience is a plus but not required. If you want to make an impact with real physics/engineering challenges this is for you.

Full-time or contract-to-start, remote-friendly with some field travel.

Interested? Reply here or DM me with a few lines on something you’ve built, your portfolio and anything else you’d like to share.

Thanks!

MID/SENIOR MECHANICAL ENGINEER, Turin, Italy

At Leva, every project begins with a blank page. You will turn creative ideas into mechanical systems that can be manufactured, assembled, tested, transported, installed, and operated reliably in public spaces around the world.

This is a hands-on mechanical design role for an engineer who enjoys unusual problems, rapid prototyping, close collaboration with fabrication and motion-control specialists, and seeing one-off systems operate at full scale.

‍The position can be filled at mid or senior level. We will assess level through the scale and complexity of the systems you have owned, your technical judgment, design-review and supplier responsibility, risk management, validation scope, and support for other engineers.

‍

In this role you will:

• Translate creative and project requirements into feasible mechanical concepts, kinematic layouts, dimensional studies, and first-order structural calculations.
• Take mechanisms and mechanical subsystems from concept through detailed design, prototyping, testing, and release.
• Design structures, motion-transmission systems, linkages, guides, drive mechanisms, tooling, jigs, and fixtures.
• Identify technical risks early, compare design alternatives, and define the prototypes or tests needed to validate critical assumptions.
• Make informed manufacturing and make-or-buy decisions based on performance, tolerance, quantity, cost, lead time, finish, and maintainability.
• Work directly with suppliers to source standard and custom components, resolve technical questions, and ensure manufacturability and quality.
• Produce clear manufacturing drawings, specifications, and accurate Bills of Materials that support traceable fabrication and assembly.
• Build and test prototypes using additive manufacturing and workshop processes, diagnose failures, and convert test results into design improvements.
• Support assembly, installation, and commissioning, define mechanical acceptance criteria, and verify that the finished system maintains the original design intent.
• Collaborate with fabrication, creative-technology, embedded, motion-control, and project teams while owning the mechanical design and its interfaces.
• At mid level, independently own defined mechanisms or mechanical subsystems, present design options and risks, coordinate suppliers, and support the assembly and commissioning of the systems you design.
• At senior level, own the mechanical architecture of complete installations or major systems. Lead feasibility, technical trade-offs, design reviews, supplier strategy, risk management, validation, and mechanical root-cause analysis, while supporting the development of other engineers.

Must have:

• Demonstrated experience taking mechanisms, machines, or physical products through concept, detailed design, prototyping, testing, and release.
• Strong capability in parametric 3D mechanical CAD. Experience with Fusion 360 or Inventor is useful, but strong users of comparable platforms are welcome.
• Practical understanding of kinematics, mechanisms, motion transmission, structural sizing, materials, tolerances, and mechanical interfaces.
• Experience producing manufacturing-ready drawings, specifications, and accurate BOMs.

Robotics / Hardware Engineer @ Lumen Labs in San Francisco, CA

Howdy y’all,

We’re Lumen Labs, a funded pre-seed physical AI startup in San Francisco. Nearly every major robotics effort today teaches machines.

by showing them thousands of hours of human teleoperation. We think that paradigm has a ceiling, and that the path to robots that genuinely adapt runs through a different kind of learning. We’re primarily focused on nature-inspired AI architectures for unstructured environments (construction sites, mining, oil pipelines, battlefield).

We’re a team of two and hiring someone to own the hardware and infrastructure that keeps our research platforms running. This means maintaining and extending ROS2 (Humble) nodes across onboard and offboard compute, integrating and calibrating sensors, owning the safety pipeline during autonomous runs, and keeping the data logging pipeline clean and reliable.

The other half of the job is sim2real. You won’t need to set up the sims yourself, but you’ll be the one getting trained policies onto real hardware and figuring out where the robot and environment differ from the sim. Here’s where we’re at today, zero-shot sim2real transfer, policy that can run at 100Hz on an ESP32, under a day to train:

You’ll thrive here if you’ve built and run real robots of more than one kind, and have done off-the-beaten-path side projects along the way.

In-person in San Francisco. Competitive salary + equity, health insurance, and visa/relocation support for the right candidate.

Full job description

Send us a note at hi@lumenresearch.co or reply to this post telling us a bit about you, projects you’ve worked on, and why you’d want to work at Lumen. If you can link us to a project where you got a trained policy running on real hardware, your application will move to the top of our pile. I’ll be at ROSCON 2026 and at Pittsburgh Robotics and AI Discovery Day. Feel free to message if you want to chat in person at either one.

Founding Robotics Engineer @ Merista.ai in Barcelona, Spain

Merista builds the physical AI workforce for food production. This is our founding team robotics hire, reporting to the CTO, owning the robot’s mind, and everything between intent and motion. Full-time and on-site in Barcelona.

The challenge

Food changes shape, sticks to tools, and behaves differently as containers empty. A successful movement can still produce an incorrect portion. A policy that works in a demonstration may struggle after hours of operation.

That means the hard problems are the whole job:

• How do we connect perception and manipulation when appearance alone doesn’t tell us how food will behave?

• How do we control portion weight while meeting cycle-time requirements?

• How do we detect a failed transfer and recover without stopping the line?

• How do we collect demonstrations and production data that lead to measurable improvements?

We expect robot learning to play an important role. You’ll help determine where it earns its place, how to evaluate it, and how it should work with sensing, control, and mechanical design.

What you’d own

You’ll lead technical choices across manipulation, learning, and control, working with perception and mechatronics engineers to define the interfaces. You’ll own the path from a policy’s output to reliable motion on the robot, including real-time execution, failure detection, and recovery. Your responsibility continues into deployment, where we find out which assumptions survive.

• Execution and feedback control: trajectory generation, contact-rich manipulation, force control, and portion-weight feedback. You’ll connect policy outputs to real-time control, manage inference latency and timing, and define how the robot responds when an action cannot execute as intended.

• Failure detection and recovery: detecting failed transfers and interrupted actions, bringing the robot to a safe state, and resuming work reliably. You’ll build automatic recovery where practical and give a remote operator the context and control needed to intervene.

• Manipulation policies and learning: deciding what the policy outputs, how it is trained and evaluated, and where imitation learning, reinforcement learning, simulation, or conventional control earn their place with limited fleet data.

• Data and evaluation: capturing useful demonstrations, failures, and recoveries, and building repeatable tests that show whether changes improve accuracy, speed, and reliability.

What you bring

• Hands-on experience building and running control software on real robot arms, including trajectory execution and feedback from sensors. You have taken manipulation from a demonstration into repeated, reliable operation.

• Practical understanding of control-loop timing, latency, and fault handling. You can explain a failure you diagnosed on a physical robot, how you made it recover, and how you verified the fix.

• Practical understanding of robot learning or related ML, including data quality, evaluation, and deployment.

• Strong Python and enough systems understanding to debug across sensors, models, control, and hardware.

• Evidence that you can take an ambiguous problem, design useful experiments, and learn from failures.

• Interest in working closely with mechanical and mechatronics engineers.

You don’t need prior food-industry experience. Show us something you built, what broke, and how you improved it.

About us

Most meals in the developed world pass through a food factory. The hardest and most repetitive manipulation tasks on the line still defeat machines, like portioning and assembling real food in small batches that frequently change. So people do them by hand in cold and wet rooms. Factories cannot keep those rooms staffed.

Merista builds the physical AI workforce for food production: operated robots that take over these tasks. One robot rolls onto a factory floor without rebuilding the line. We deploy it and run it, and the factory pays for the work it does.

We’ve already built and operated a multi-site robotic fleet for restaurants, dealt with production failures, field operations, remote recovery, hardware iteration, deployments and customers. Now we’re starting again with a much more ambitious technical thesis.

Our long-term vision is the self-driving food factory. The work today is one task at a time.

Why join at this stage

The core technical choices are still open. Your work will shape the data we collect, how we measure progress, and what we deploy.

Our longer-term thesis is that useful factory deployments can create a compounding learning advantage: observe real failures, capture the right data, improve the system, and carry those improvements into the next deployment. Building that loop is part of this role.

As the team grows, you can deepen your technical ownership or move toward team leadership. We value both paths.

Expect hardware delays, repeated experiments, and production debugging alongside new development. Part of the job is standing on a factory floor at 6am, watching a robot fail, and working with the team to understand what needs to change. We always find ways to adapt, improvise, and overcome. If you enjoy owning the whole path from an idea to a working machine, there is a great deal here to build.

Robotics Software Engineer - Austin, TX - Valstad Shipworks

Hey all,

Background on us: we’re a venture-backed startup based in Austin, Texas. We’re reinventing the way America builds ships, centered around high-mix robotics.

Our current platform is designed to take a 3D model of part of a ship, automatically generate an assembly sequence, and assemble and weld it using industrial robots and a collection of sensors.

The stuff we’re building is big - currently up to 10x40’ - and will go into everything from commercial ships to autonomous vessels.

The challenge we’re solving: most of the parts are composed of similar primitives, but it’s rare that any two are exactly alike.

To solve this, we’ve built our software stack from the ground up in rust - SIMD-accelerated motion planning, elastokinematic calibration, physics-based simulation - our core robotics libraries have very few external dependencies.

The goal is rapid generation speed (currently <30s) on commodity hardware, high precision, and full control at the actuator level.

Example of our simulator:

And the same software running on real robots in Austin:

Our philosophy is: closed-form first for accuracy & repeatability, and then layer reinforcement learning on top where it makes sense.

The job description is available on our website here:

If this is something you find interesting, don’t hesitate to apply even if you don’t meet the exact criteria. Just be obsessed with robots =D

Job market worries as a robotics student — how did you get your start?

Hello everyone,

I’m still relatively new here and in this field, but I’m really excited about robotics. I’m currently a sophomore Computer Engineering student, and I’m working really hard. I’m trying to do volunteer internships and contribute to open-source projects.

Setting aside who I am, I’m really worried about finding a job in this field in the future.

I see many graduates around me who remain unemployed for a long time, and even my friends who have developed their skills in other fields (like web, mobile, etc.) are struggling to find jobs, despite more employment opportunities in those areas. Additionally, many people on platforms like LinkedIn mention how difficult it is to find jobs in the IT field, and this really worries me. The niche nature of the robotics field only fuels this concern.

So I wanted to ask the community directly:

1. How difficult has it actually been for people breaking into robotics recently, compared to other software fields?
2. For someone still early on, trying to land a first real role in this field what would you focus on? Is open-source contribution the right lever, or are there other paths that matter more for actually getting hired?

I’m really curious to hear your thoughts and experiences on this topic.

Exstrike Real TIme Vision & Safety infrastructure for Autonomous Systems & Tactical Robotics

Hey guys,

I’m building Exstrike. It’s a real-time safety filters (using Control Barrier Functions + computer vision) designed to prevent physical crashes when autonomous robots or AI navigation models mess up.

The goal is to build a drop in SDK for robotics,drones,and tactical ground vehicles (dual use/defense) that forces the machine to stop before hitting anything, even if the primary AI panics or loses GPS

The problem in physical AI right now is massive: navigation models fail, sensors blind out, and multi-thousand dollar hardware gets destroyed in a split second. Most systems rely on soft software limits that fail under pressure. Exstrike solves this at the lowest level by decoupling perception safety math, and hardware override into a dedicated 3-model architecture

Hercule (LLM to Spatial Perception Engine):

Hercule bridges high-level AI models and Vision-LLMs (Claude, Gemini, GPT-4o) with real-world physical precision and hallucinate spatial boundaries. Hercule ingests raw camera feeds at high frame rates to perform continuous spatial mapping, velocity estimation, and obstalce LLM agents precise physical grounding in real time without cloud latency or heavy compute overhead.

Soteria (Deterministic Control Barrier Engine):

Soteria is the mathematical brain that enforces physical safety boundaries. it takes the spatial vectors from Hercule and continuoulsy solves real-time Quadratic Programs (QP) using Control Barrier Functions (CBFs). Rather than guessing what to do, Soteria calculates the exact physical envelope of the vehicle. As long as the primary navigation AI stays set, Soteria remains passive; the moment a trajectory breaches the safe set, Soteria dynamically modifies the control commands.

Armageddon (Hard Stop & Failsafe Execution Unit):

Armageddon is the zero-latency emergency hardware override. Sitting directly above the motor controlllers and actuators, it operates as a fail-closed circuit breaker. If Hercule loses visual tracking or Soteria calculates an unavoidable impact trajectory within a critical time to collision threshold, Armageddon executes a total override cutting drive signals or engaging maximum regenerative braking instantly. It completly bypasses the main AI and flight controller, ensuring zero delay and zero guesswork when a crash is imminent.

This is going to be huge because every single autonomous unit deployed in high-risk, real-world environments needs a bulletproof safety fallback. We are building the industry standard for physical crash prevention from the ground up.

I’ve arleady validated the core logic and real-time obstacle tracking on a physical test bench.

Now, I need a technical co-founder to help scale this raw prototype into a production grade, ultra low latency c++/ros 2 framework

Who i’m looking for

Deep hands on skills in c++, ros 2, or computer vision (OpenCV,CUDA).

low-level systems builders who care about hard real-time execution and raw perfomance.

An ambitious technical partner / co founder to join the initial build phase

We’re building the foundational layer fore the next decade of physical AI. If you can write low latency c++ and want to build high-stakes defense systems, DM me. Let’s make history.

Hiring or looking for jobs in Robotics Software Engineering?

Hi all,

Robotics software engineering has an oddly scattered job market. Openings end up on a single university page, a company careers site, or a mailing list, and the people who’d be the right fit often never see them. There’s no obvious place to look if you specifically care about the software side of robotics: testing, verification, architecture, middleware, tooling, and so on.

So the RoSE community (the Robot Software Engineering workshop, most recently at ICRA) has put together a small jobs board to help with exactly that.

If you’re hiring, a company looking for robotics software engineers, or a research group with open PhD, postdoc, or engineer positions, you can submit an opening through a short form. Every submission is reviewed by the organisers before it goes live, and it stays on the board until its deadline passes. It’s free and takes a couple of minutes.

If you’re looking, the board is worth a browse. It’s curated for this corner of the field, so the signal-to-noise is high, and it’ll grow as more positions come in.

• Submit a position: Robotics Software Engineering Job Posting
• Browse the board: Jobs

It’s a community effort and entirely non-commercial. Feedback on what would make it more useful is very welcome, and please pass it along to anyone recruiting or job-hunting in this space.

Thanks!
