Teams at ThoughtForge

Build and maintain robotics software for simulation and real robotic arm hardware across motion planning, control, perception, and manipulation. Prototype ideas, harden successful systems for deployment, and develop tests and metrics to measure robot performance and prevent regressions. The role requires ownership, cross-functional collaboration, and practical expertise in robotics software development.

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.

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.
