Software oriented roles include Full-Stack and Frontend Engineers, Controls and Computer Vision Engineers, SQA Manager, and SWE roles for people with networking and systems experience.
Boston Dynamics is a world leader in mobile robots, tackling some of the toughest robotics challenges. For years, our awe-inspiring viral videos on YouTube have shown the world what remarkably capable robots can do. Now we are quickly becoming a recognized leader in automation solutions for industrial applications, logistics and warehouses.
We're looking for Software Engineers and Leaders across a wide variety of roles. Robotics experience not necessarily needed - for example, I had none before I joined Boston Dynamics, and there's many roles which also do not require it.
Hi! I'm interested in Robotics SWE (controls, trajectory/motion planning, etc) roles at Boston Dynamics. I don't see any particularly good matches on the careers site but maybe you have additional insight. I'm coming from the controls/software team at Makani (former Google X project).
We don't currently have any controls positions open. Feel free to send me a resume at cbentzel at bostondynamics.com and I can add it to our system for when a position does become available.
You'd likely be geared for L5 (Senior Engineer) with your described experience. At that level, there would be expectations that:
- You have built and can continue to build real software. You should know how to code fluidly in at least one language, as well as idioms and pitfalls. I don't think this is something you can cram for - you build up from experience.
- Able to describe performance or other tradeoffs. This can be in system architecture down to data structures and small optimizations. If you are rusty on algorithms, this can be studied for.
- Be able to do large-scale systems design from a fairly ambiguous problem statement. Sounds like you've had this experience.
- Potentially do a deep dive in a technical specialty of yours (ML, compilers, databases, etc.).
[Note: I haven't been at Google for over a year so this may be rusty, but did interview lots of candidates while there.]
We're looking for Software Engineers across a wide range of disciplines and experience levels to help us productionize our robots and integrate them into real-world enterprises.
While we are definitely interested in candidates with robotics expertise, we are also looking for people who can bring a different set of skills and background.
Boston Dynamics is a leading developer of advanced dynamic robots, including Spot, Atlas, Handle, and others. We love to create innovative machines that combine advanced control systems, software, sophisticated mechanical designs, onboard sensing and perception, and extraordinary behavior.
We're hiring for a wide variety of positions - such as Machinists, Electrical Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, and a wide variety of Software Engineering positions.
-------------------------------------------------
I want to point out two Software Engineering positions that do not require a robotics background. These may be a great way to apply your past software experience to a new domain.
* Automated testing of dynamic robot software behavior. There's a lot of best practices from general software testing methodologies and infrastructure that we could build on, as well as a fair amount of terra incognita for applying this to the domain of robotics.
* Creating an API+SDK. Help define how customers can customize our robots to their specific needs. Past experience with cloud services and/or simulation could be useful here, as would any prior work building out libraries or APIs.
