Top Robotics Software Engineer Jobs in San Francisco, CA

Deploy and integrate Shield AIs Hivemind autonomy software with customers worldwide. Provide on-site technical support, training, debugging, and documentation. Collaborate with sales and product engineering to support pre- and post-sales activities and improve autonomy products.

The Senior Compiler Engineer will develop a model compilation toolchain for deploying optimized machine learning models in autonomous vehicles, focusing on performance engineering and collaboration with cross-functional teams.

Build and maintain customer-facing applications and backend systems across iOS, Android, VR, and web platforms. Develop intuitive robot interfaces, interactive 3D visualizations, and secure authentication and device-access flows. Integrate real-time APIs, streaming data, WebSockets, gRPC, and connected hardware while collaborating with engineering and UI/UX teams to create polished experiences for robot users.

Build and operate cloud infrastructure for a robotics fleet, including distributed backend services, low-latency inference serving, fleet and customer APIs, real-time robot communication, telemetry systems, and production reliability tooling. Responsibilities include GPU scheduling, autoscaling, networking across unreliable home connections, secure device identity and communication, database operations, monitoring, SLOs, deployments, and incident response.

Contribute to Zipline’s Maps stack by building route-generation services, spatial planning artifacts, geospatial visualization tools, data transformation pipelines, and routing algorithms. The intern will improve the speed, safety, and reliability of autonomous drone flight planning while working with spatial data, path planning, validation, and global data access systems.

The role involves designing and implementing scalable web applications for Zoox's autonomous fleet, collaborating with teams to enhance software systems, and increasing productivity using AI tools.

Design and implement the frontend and full-stack features for a real-time Command & Control platform that directs large heterogeneous UAV swarms. Build distributed, collaborative realtime infrastructure, visualize dense telemetry and sensor data, and own features from design through deployment with CI/CD and DevSecOps practices.

Partner with post-sales teams to identify friction, design and build scalable internal applications, integrations, automations, and AI-powered tools. Own full lifecycle from requirements to production, connect data across platforms (Salesforce, NetSuite, Jira, Databricks, Foundry), and drive adoption and measurable outcomes.

Own and improve the software platform for autonomous underwater robots: deploy and update fleet software, build remote monitoring and high-bandwidth comms, expand simulation and testing, create operator/customer tooling, and execute field testing with international travel.

Architect and implement software infrastructure that coordinates precision manufacturing equipment, robotics, embedded controllers, and cloud services. Define interfaces, develop APIs and distributed services, build automated testing, simulation, and CI/CD pipelines, perform system integration and validation, drive performance and reliability improvements, and lead cross-boundary debugging, FMEA, and root-cause analysis.

Build and ship major FruitScope OS web application features across the frontend, backend, UI/UX, databases, APIs, and cloud infrastructure. Develop scalable systems that transform agricultural data into actionable insights for farmers. Own product problems end to end, collaborate directly with customers, and rapidly improve solutions based on feedback.
