Jobs at ThoughtForge

Supports robotics hardware testing by setting up rigs, running procedures, recording results, and troubleshooting issues. Acts as the on-site resource for remote engineers by operating robots, collecting ROS bags, and participating in debugging sessions. Also assists with 3D printing, fabrication, workcell assembly, cabling, lab organization, equipment maintenance, and technical documentation.

Design, build, and maintain robotics software for simulation and real robotic hardware. Work across motion planning, control, perception, and manipulation; rapidly prototype ideas and harden successful systems for reliable deployment. Develop tests, metrics, and monitoring to measure robot performance, detect regressions, and reduce simulation-to-reality gaps. Collaborate with a senior team while independently owning problems from discovery through implementation.

Supports robotics hardware testing by setting up test rigs, running procedures, collecting ROS bags, documenting results, and flagging issues. Assists remote engineers with on-site robot operation and pair debugging. Performs 3D printing, fabrication, workcell and fixture assembly, cabling, lab organization, and basic maintenance. Requires hands-on robotics troubleshooting, Linux and terminal familiarity, basic ROS/ROS2 knowledge, some Python exposure, reliability, and clear written communication.
