Key Skills for This Role
ROS2PythonC++RustComputer VisionAI Systems
Responsibilities
- Take ownership of the product and overcome complexities of various robotic systems
- Integrate AI and computer vision into the offering
- Broaden use cases for the platform
- Build and manage the operating layer for physical AI
Requirements
- Deep experience with ROS2, including building and debugging distributed robot systems
- Strong programming skills in Python and C++ or Rust (shipped production systems)
- Experience building on and debugging real robot hardware, not just simulation
- Experience with creating and deploying AI systems (data collection, labeling, training on real world datasets, iterating, etc.)
- Hands on experience designing computer vision, perception, or decision systems
- Solid understanding of distributed systems and system architecture
- Experience building data pipelines for robotics or sensor heavy systems (video, LiDAR, telemetry, etc.)
- Strong modern AI skills can use Cursor/Claude to be 10x more efficient at pushing code
- Comfortable working across edge and cloud environments (AWS, on device compute, APIs, backend infrastructure)
- Strong debugging skills across the full stack, from robot to backend
Full Job Posting
Role Overview
- We're looking for a founding engineer with deep experience in robotics and AI to help build the operating layer for physical AI—one unified platform to manage and operate robots at scale.
The Problem with Robotics
- Lack of standardization Every robotics manufacturer has their own unique interface & specs required to operate their robots.
- Robots are difficult to use Robots require highly specialized expertise in custom systems.
- Robotics teams struggle to scale Each new robot deployment or team member added requires separate training, onboarding, and integration.
Our Solution
- CTRL+R is a real time operations platform for robots and physical AI systems: Teleoperation, Fleet management, Fully customized robotic control, and more.
- CTRL+R is intuitive for first time operators, yet powerful and customizable for advanced robotics teams managing diverse fleets.
What's Next (AI)
- Finalize robotic control/fleet management platform.
- Implement AI to streamline new robot onboarding, allow multi robot communication and coordination, and bring computer vision to industries.
- Data collected from robots will improve how they operate over time.
Must Have Skills
- Deep experience with ROS2, including building and debugging distributed robot systems
- Strong programming skills in Python and C++ or Rust (you’ve shipped production systems, not just prototypes)
- Experience building on (and debugging) real robot hardware, not just simulation
- Experience with creating and deploying AI systems (data collection, labeling, training on real world datasets, iterating, etc)
- Hands on experience designing computer vision, perception, or decision systems
- Solid understanding of distributed systems and system architecture (you’ve designed systems that coordinate multiple services, devices, or nodes)
- Experience building data pipelines for robotics or sensor heavy systems (video, LiDAR, telemetry, etc.)
- Strong modern AI skills you can use Cursor/Claude to be 10x more efficient at pushing code
- Comfortable working across edge and cloud environments (AWS, on device compute, APIs, backend infrastructure)
- Strong debugging skills across the full stack, from robot to backend
Why Join CTRL+R?
- AI is moving into the physical world, but most industries are not using it yet.
- Robotics is growing fast, but the software layer is still immature.
- If we get this right, CTRL+R becomes the default way robots are operated across multiple industries and robot manufacturers.
- As a founding engineer, you have the opportunity to build an industry defining product, build your team, and change the future.
