Rust Pytorch Robotics Automation Logistics Warehousing Embedded Algorithms Software Engineer AI Engineer Back End Engineer Staff Engineer 
AutoPallet Robotics (YC S24) is building novel robots for case picking in warehouses, a huge unsolved automation opportunity for a very labor-intensive, critically important and sh*tty human job in the thin-margin industry of logistics. Our software is all Rust/Pytorch, embedded dev through research-frontier applied algorithms and an integrated development iteration time measured on a watch, not a calendar.

We are seeking a Robotics Software Engineer to join our growing team in San Francisco.

Responsibilities:
* Design, develop, test, and deploy software for novel robotic systems operating in warehouse environments.
* Work across the full stack, from embedded systems programming to high-level applied algorithms for perception, planning, and control.
* Collaborate closely with hardware and ML engineers to integrate and iterate on robot capabilities rapidly.
* Contribute to a fast-paced development cycle focused on real-world performance.

Technical Skills Required:
* Strong proficiency and experience in Rust programming.
* Solid understanding of robotics principles (kinematics, dynamics, control, perception).
* Experience with embedded systems development is a plus.
* Familiarity with Python and ML frameworks like Pytorch is beneficial.
* Experience with Linux, ROS, or other robotics middleware is advantageous.

Ideal Candidate:
* Passionate about robotics and automation.
* Enjoys solving complex, real-world problems.
* A great-to-work-with generalist or specialist comfortable in a startup environment.
* Able to learn quickly and adapt to new challenges.
* Bonus points if you include a link or photo of something cool you've made.
