Our mission is to solve the most important and fundamental challenges in AI and Robotics to enable future generations of intelligent machines that will help us all live better lives.
As an Embedded Software Engineer, you will work cross-functionally with a talented team of engineers and researchers to develop cutting-edge robotic systems. Your contributions will directly advance the state of the art in robotics. We operate onsite at our new Cambridge, MA office, fostering a collaborative and dynamic environment.
