Full Job Description
What To Expect

As a Software Engineer, Robot Interfaces, you will use cutting edge techniques to connect our users with core robotic and AI systems. Leveraging machine learning across local and cloud compute, you will transform raw audio and video signals into actionable instructions in a domestic environment.

What You'll Do

Audio Engineering: Use the latest algorithms to interpret and produce audio signals that drive our voice interactions with users

Human Interaction: Translate raw signals into actionable intelligence for high level AI decision making and planning

Engineer for Production: Design systems that are optimized for domestic environments and effortlessly balance network reliability, system performance, and deployment cost

Product Shipping: Drive platform development toward our in-home Beta deployments by building robust, self-contained, incremental deliveries that fulfill the "Sunday" promise.

What You'll Bring
  • Voice Communication: 2+ years experience developing voice-driven experiences (STT, TTS)
  • Artificial Intelligence: 3+ years experience developing responsive AI in robotics, games, or embodied AI.
  • Robotics Experience: You've worked on systems that are compute constrained, react quickly to inputs, and debugged problems that cut across hardware and software
  • Frontier Thinking: Familiarity with the latest in multimodal model research (VLMs, VLAs) and an understanding of how to apply them to real-world robotics.


Nice To Have
  • Experience as a founding or early hire; able to define a release roadmap where no blueprint exists.
  • Practical experience (or high curiosity) in deploying multimodal models to physical hardware.
  • Publications in multimodal models, audio interpretation, or robotics.


Even if you don't meet every single requirement, we encourage you to apply. Studies show that women and underrepresented groups often hold back unless they meet 100% of the criteria - we don't want that to be the reason we miss out on great talent.
