Description
THE COMPANY
Our mission is to build the Covariant Brain, a universal AI to give robots the ability to see, reason and act on the world around them. Bringing AI from research in the lab to the infinite variability and constant change of our customer’s real-world operations requires new ideas, approaches and techniques.

Success in the real world requires a team that represents that world: diversity of backgrounds, points of view, and experiences. Our common denominator: ambitious expectations, love of learning, empathy for those around us, and a team-first mindset.

THE ROLE
Our value is in delivering human-level autonomy in robots. We continuously push the boundaries of next-gen robotics for our customers and partners and this role is a key member of the team responsible for driving improvements continuously across various applications.

YOU WILL

  • Iterate quickly on the end-to-end performance of our main robotics applications leveraging a wide variety of skill sets (AI, SW, and HW)
  • Build mission-critical software, from robotic systems to cloud infrastructure, with attention to performance, reliability, security, and code quality
  • Deliver previously-impossible robotics capabilities that solve real needs for our partners and customers
  • Collaborate with, learn from, and support a diverse and cross-functional team, including mechanical, electrical, software engineers, AI/ML researchers, and business development
  • Assist Solutions, Business, Sales, and Product in deployment ramp-up and demos

YOU HAVE

  • An impact-driven mindset - willingness to work in a variety of technical areas as needed, to solve real problems, and deliver business impact
  • A solid foundation in Software Engineering. Experience with at least one programming language, e.g. Python or C/C++, and willingness to pick up new languages or technologies as needed
  • A broad range of knowledge base and interests ranging from SWE / AI to HW

NICE TO HAVES

  • Have a desire to work with a small collaborative team, with a high degree of autonomy and responsibility
  • Are motivated to work on challenging real-world engineering problems
  • Enjoy autonomy in figuring out what is the most important problem to work on
  • Are committed to continuous learning

SAMPLE WEEK IN THE LIFE

  • Monday - Add a new runtime capability to our core message-passing infrastructure. Give a technical deep-dive talk to the company about our robotics application framework
  • Tuesday - As the software lead of one of our products, meet with leadership to discuss strategy and execution. Develop a product-independent pick-and-place module, and migrate existing application code to use it
  • Wednesday - Mentor a software engineer on how to use our APIs to write a reusable component
  • Thursday - Work with the Hardware team to design a microcontroller solution for a mechatronics component. Collaborate with Research to implement a generalized performance improvement across applications
  • Friday - Partner with Sales and Solutions to prepare a product demo for a potential customer

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
