Robotics Engineer

**About the Role**\
DeepAware AI (YC S25) is building secure, efficient, and autonomous infrastructure for the AI era. As a **Robotics Engineer**, you’ll develop and integrate autonomous systems that enable **24/7 inspections, cable swaps, and maintenance** in large-scale data centers. Your work will bridge the gap between physical robotics and our AI-powered Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) platform — creating the “robotic hands” for next-gen AI infrastructure.

**Responsibilities**

* Design robotic manipulation and navigation systems optimized for constrained, high-density environments
* Integrate vision systems for automated inspections and anomaly detection
* Collaborate with AI/ML engineers to connect robotics control with real-time DCIM data pipelines
* Prototype, test, and refine robotic hardware/software at pilot deployment sites
* Ensure reliability, safety, and scalability of robotics solutions for continuous operations

**Requirements**

* Proficiency with robotics frameworks such as **ROS/ROS2, MoveIt, and OpenCV**
* Hands-on experience in autonomous navigation and robotic manipulation
* Ability to work across hardware and software components, including embedded systems and control algorithms
* Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to iterate quickly in a startup environment

**Nice-to-Have**

* Experience with industrial robotics or data center operations
* Knowledge of computer vision model training and deployment
* Familiarity with robotic arm kinematics, path planning, and sensor fusion

**Location:**\
Bay Area, CA preferred

**Why DeepAware?**\
You’ll be at the forefront of integrating robotics into AI infrastructure — working on mission-critical systems that keep the world’s AI running securely and sustainably. Your contributions will directly shape how data centers operate in the coming decade.
