Job Summary

We're looking for a Robotics Algorithm Engineer to design, implement, and optimize the algorithms that power our AI computer vision systems. You'll work at the intersection of software engineering and applied mathematics, translating theoretical models into robust, real-time solutions that run on physical hardware.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

  • Design and implement algorithms for motion planning, trajectory optimization, and robotic control (e.g., D*, PRM, MPC, GCS, graph planners, sampling planners, trajectory optimization, learned neural planners, etc.)
  • Develop perception pipelines including SLAM, sensor fusion, object detection, and localization using LiDAR, Event, frame, and stereo cameras, IMUs, RADARs, and other sensors (e.g. SLAM, SFM, EFK, UKF, graph solvers, OpenCV, etc.)
  • Build and refine kinematic and dynamic models for robotic manipulators, mobile platforms, or multi-body systems
  • Optimize deep learning and classical CV algorithms for real-time inference on embedded/edge hardware (e.g., GPUs, NPUs, FPGAs)
  • Validate and refine algorithms through physical hardware in the loop testing before product deployment
  • Profile and debug latency, throughput, and accuracy tradeoffs across the perception-to-control pipeline
  • Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and software teams to integrate algorithms into full robotic systems
  • Analyze test data to debug performance issues and improve system reliability and safety
  • Document technical designs, experiments, and results for internal and external stakeholders

Qualifications, Skills, and Attributes

  • Masters's degree or PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical/Mechanical Engineering, or related field
  • 5+ years of experience developing robotics algorithms in a research or production environment
  • Strong proficiency in C++ and/or Python
  • Solid foundation in linear algebra, probability/statistics, and control theory
  • Experience with ROS/ROS2 or comparable robotics middleware
  • Hands-on experience with at least one of: motion planning, SLAM, computer vision, or sensor fusion
  • Experience testing and validating algorithms on physical robotic hardware

Due to the nature of Hellbender’s funding, this position requires US citizenship or Permanent Resident status.

Compensation

Competitive salary based on qualifications and experience.

Benefits

  • 5% employer 401(k) contribution, with no match required
  • 10% contribution to the employee equity program
  • 100% of health, dental, and vision premiums paid for employees and their families, including domestic partners
  • 100% of life and disability insurance premiums paid
  • 10 holidays, two company-wide shutdown weeks, and 15 hours of PTO accrued per month
  • 4 weeks of parental leave

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
