Top Robotics Engineer Jobs in NYC, NY

Lead perception and robot learning for warehouse robots, owning 3D scene understanding, VLA model training, simulation, deployment, teleoperation data pipelines, and production inference. Build systems from scratch, deploy models on physical robots, optimize for latency and compute constraints, and improve models through active learning based on customer-floor performance. The role requires significant travel to live warehouse operations and close collaboration with the founding team.

Developers Relations Manager specializing in robotics will advise startups on architecture, integration, code, simulation, robot learning, and NVIDIA robotics platforms. The role involves co-designing solutions, creating technical enablement resources, leading workshops, supporting synthetic data strategies, tracking ecosystem trends, influencing product roadmaps, and assisting with technical go-to-market activities. Strong expertise in robotics simulation, NVIDIA Jetson platforms, software development, and partner technical engagements is required.

The Technical Support Engineer will provide technical assistance and troubleshooting for UFACTORY's robotic arms and their software, enhance technical documentation, and support customer inquiries regarding SDK and APIs.

Own the technical path from customer sale through robot deployment. Responsibilities include gathering requirements, recreating customer environments, designing and assembling mechatronic solutions, testing robots in the lab, conducting timing studies, documenting deployment solutions, and handing production-ready systems to field teams.

Deploy AI and robotics models on real-world hardware, optimizing inference for constrained edge systems and integrating sensors, controls, middleware, and legacy systems. Diagnose failures across calibration, dynamics, timing, and perception; evaluate model performance rigorously; and collaborate with research teams, customers, and partners to move systems from simulation and prototypes into production.

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.

Own the technical direction and delivery of robotic hardware from rapid prototyping through manufacturing and customer deployment. Integrate robotic arms, sensors, grippers, and tooling; lead requirements, testing, design reviews, and engineering standards; mentor mechanical engineers; and help build the hardware team. The role requires hands-on robotics deployment experience, mechanical design expertise, CAD fluency, technical leadership, and U.S. citizenship.

Provides advanced technical support for robotic systems during commissioning and 24/7 customer operations. Diagnoses hardware, software, controls, Linux, network, and automation failures; analyzes logs and telemetry; develops integrations and support workflows; leads major incidents; coordinates engineering, field service, and customer teams; manages cases and corrective actions; validates AI-assisted diagnostics; and mentors engineers while improving system reliability and recovery times.

The Robotics Engineer will design, configure, troubleshoot robotic systems and support electrical/software design, ensuring compliance with safety standards and optimizing production processes.

Design and implement embedded hardware and firmware for a small-scale AS/RS robotics system: select microcontrollers and sensors, write and optimize firmware, create schematics and PCB layouts, perform system-level and HIL testing, collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams, and maintain design documentation through product lifecycle.

Lead development of perception, mapping, sensor fusion, and calibration systems. Improve SLAM for GPS-degraded environments, automate LiDAR and imagery alignment across sessions, eliminate field extrinsic measurements, and improve data quality and scalability for large-scale mapping and analytics delivery.

Manage the full deployment lifecycle for retail locations, coordinating installation, network setup, configurations, and troubleshooting, while building automation and ensuring quality.

Leads architecture and delivery of robotic data-collection platforms, end effectors, sensing systems, and customer workcells from requirements through field deployment. Responsibilities include hardware design, prototyping, validation, reliability testing, manufacturing documentation, system integration, deployment, troubleshooting, technical reviews, standards development, and mentoring. The role collaborates with robotics, controls, machine learning, manufacturing, safety, operations, suppliers, and customers while establishing scalable hardware platforms and deployment processes.

Designs, develops, tests, and maintains robotics middleware and application frameworks in modern C++ on embedded Linux. Owns platform components through deployment and fleet operation, improves reliability and performance, diagnoses complex concurrency and systems issues, and translates safety requirements into software behavior and verification. Collaborates across autonomy, systems, hardware, and software teams while leading technical reviews and mentoring engineers.

As a Robotics Engineer, you'll operate and test robot platforms, integrate sensors, manage data pipelines, and debug issues to improve model evaluation.

Build realistic simulation environments, tools, and infrastructure for autonomous boats, drones, ground vehicles, and multi-agent systems. Develop configurable scenarios, sensor models, agent behaviors, closed-loop SIL and HIL workflows, replay and regression testing, and automated scenario evaluation. Integrate simulations with autonomy stacks, mission software, command-and-control systems, and data pipelines. Improve simulation scalability, fidelity, debugging, and developer workflows while helping engineering teams reproduce field failures and validate systems before deployment.

Design, develop, test, and debug features for autonomous construction equipment while optimizing controls systems and maintaining code quality standards.

Lead the design, development, and deployment of autonomous systems for heavy construction equipment while mentoring engineering teams and improving system performance.

Lead the design, development, and testing of advanced robotic systems, focusing on control algorithms, electronic circuits, and integration for defense applications.

The Robotics Application Engineer leads deployment of autonomous excavators, conducts site evaluations, troubleshoots issues, collaborates on technical strategy, and communicates value to customers.

Lead control quality for robotic products by designing, modeling, tuning, benchmarking, and validating control loops. Build safety-rated monitoring, debug cross-domain system issues, create test/diagnostic tooling, and advise/mentor teams to deliver stable, high-performance actuator motion.
